I have never met a more supportive and understanding driving instructor. After experiencing past failures, my confidence was extremely low and my nerves were through the roof, but from the very first lesson Gokhan made me feel at ease. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his students and their success. His passion for teaching really shows, and he always goes above and beyond to help you achieve your very best.Gokhan is incredibly calm, patient, and reassuring, and he has an amazing ability to keep you relaxed, focused, and confident on the road, even in stressful situations. He explains everything clearly, never makes you feel rushed or judged, and tailors each lesson to suit your needs. Thanks to his encouragement and belief in me, my confidence grew with every lesson.I cannot recommend Gokhan highly enough. He is not only an excellent instructor but also a genuinely kind and supportive person. If you are feeling nervous or have struggled in the past, he is absolutely the instructor you want by your side

I came to Gokhan feeling incredibly nervous about driving, but in such a short time he gave me the coaching and guidance I needed to feel confident and test-ready. I’m so grateful to him for doing what other instructors couldn’t - calming my anxiety and helping me trust my instincts.I actually enjoy driving now, which I never thought I’d say! Gokhan is kind, patient, encouraging, and intuitive. He tailors each lesson to his students instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, which is such a breath of fresh air.Thanks to him, I passed my test first time! Whether you're a first time driver, or someone looking for refreshers and to get test ready, I couldn’t recommend his driving school more. Thank you, Gokhan - you’re amazing 😊👊🏽

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I can’t recommend this driving school enough, especially Gyokhan. Thanks to his incredible teaching, I passed my driving test first time, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him.From the very first lesson, Gyokhan’s professionalism, patience, and friendly manner put me completely at ease. I started off quite nervous, but his calm, reassuring approach helped build my confidence quickly. He explains everything clearly, takes the time to make sure you understand, and tailors each lesson to your ability and pace.Mistakes are never made to feel stressful — instead, they’re treated as learning opportunities, which made such a difference. Gyokhan is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely supportive, creating a relaxed but focused learning environment where you always feel safe and encouraged.If you’re looking for a driving instructor who truly cares about your success, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gyokhan. Passing first time says it all — an excellent instructor and a fantastic experience from start to finish.

I passed my driving test today, and I couldn’t have done it without Gokhan! From the very first lesson, he made me feel calm, confident, showed me his tricks and provided great suggestions and guidance. His explanations were always clear, patient, and tailored to exactly what I needed to improve. He is extremely familiar with the test routes and ensured that all aspects of the tests were considered including providing revision notes before.What I appreciated most was how he balanced professionalism with friendliness—every lesson felt productive, but never stressful. He made even the tricky parts of learning to drive feel manageable, and his tips for the test were spot-on.I’m genuinely grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Gokhan to anyone learning to drive. If you want an instructor who is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in your success, look no further! Maureen
