Derin Driving School Reviews 123

I passed my driving test in Barnet on my first try this week, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without Gokhan’s guidance! I was left without an instructor or car just three weeks before my test, and in only five lessons he taught me more than I’d learned in 1.5 years of driving lessons with previous instructors. His teaching style is simple, calm, and effective, and his friendly and fun personality made me feel more relaxed and confident while driving. I truly can’t recommend him enough!

Gokhan was brilliant. I was due to have my test in 3 weeks but my original driving instructor forgot to book me in and therefore I had to find a new instructor to prepare me for the test. Did 6 lessons with Gokhan and passed!

The best driving instructor ever Thanks to him, I passed the test on my first attempt. He is very patient, professional, and his explanations are clear and simple. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive perfectly.

I honestly cannot recommend Gyokhan highly enough. I passed the first time!! From the very first lesson, his professionalism, patience, and friendly manner instantly put me at ease. Learning to drive can be nerve-wracking, but Gyokhan has a calm, reassuring approach that builds confidence quickly and naturally.
He explains everything clearly, never rushes, and always adapts lessons to your individual needs and pace. No question ever feels silly, and mistakes are treated as part of the learning process rather than something to feel anxious about. His ability to remain composed and encouraging at all times makes such a difference.
Gyokhan is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, but what really sets him apart is how genuinely supportive he is. He creates a relaxed, positive learning environment while still maintaining very high standards. You always feel safe, respected, and motivated to improve.
If you’re looking for an instructor who is professional, reliable, kind, and truly invested in helping you succeed, Gyokhan is the one. An excellent driving instructor and an all-round fantastic experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this driving school to anyone.

Learning to drive was a big challenge for me, but my instructor Gokhan made the whole experience positive and stress free. He was patient, encouraging, and always took the time to explain things properly.
I felt fully supported from my first lesson right through to test day, and I couldn’t have passed without his help. Thank you so much for everything. I would 100% recommend Derin driving school to anyone.

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 couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Gokhan. His teaching is clear, supportive, and easy to understand. Every lesson felt relaxed and enjoyable, it honestly felt like driving with a friend while still learning properly.

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!

An amazing instructor and human!!! From the beginning I had proper guidance and support. Always clear at explaining and giving advice as soon as I made a mistake. With his support I gained confidence which helped me pass my test! I am glad I chose Gokhan and Derin Driving School. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to pass and have a good experience as a learner. Thank you Gokhan for everything !!!!!!!!!!

Gokhan has been a great driving instructor and definitely the reason I passed on the first try.

When I first started lessons with Gokhan, I was extremely nervous and unsure of myself behind the wheel. In a short time, he completely turned that around, giving me the confidence, calm, and practical skills I could apply in order to feel test-ready.

Gokhan has a gift for understanding his students. He doesn’t just teach you to drive; he teaches you to trust yourself while driving. His patience, kindness, and intuitive approach made all the difference for me.

Thanks to him, I passed my test on the first try and now actually enjoy driving, something I genuinely never thought I’d say haha. His lessons are personal, supportive, and never one-size-fits-all.

I’m so grateful for everything he’s done and would recommend his driving school to anyone, especially those who struggle with anxiety or confidence. Thank you, Gokhan, sincerely!

The best instructor I've ever had! I actually looked forward to the lessons which I hated before. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a fantastic experience learning with Gokhan! I passed on my first attempt with him. :) Being an experienced driver, I was looking to fine-tune my skills, adapt to UK driving standards, and ensure I'm well prepared for the test. Gokhan was quick to identify areas I could improve and focused on those in only a few classes. He didn't overcomplicate things, kept the lessons simple, straightforward, and fun, providing tips and guidance along the way. I will recommend Derin Driving school to any driver (novice or experienced).

I had an outstanding experience with Derin Driving School! I recently passed my driving test, and it was all thanks to their excellent training. Gokhan is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable instructor but also incredibly patient and encouraging. He explains everything clearly, corrects mistakes calmly, and makes each lesson enjoyable and stress-free. His dedication and professionalism truly set Derin Driving School apart. I would strongly recommend Gokhan and Derin Driving School to anyone who wants to feel confident and fully prepared for their test.

I felt very lucky to have Gokhan as my driving instructor. He is very good at arranging lessons according to your skill level and has a very good understanding of the test itself which immensely helped me to understand it. His teaching style is very encouraging and he tries to make sure you get everything. Would recommend 100%.

With 13 lessons with Gyokhan I managed to pass first time. But driving with Gyokhan felt more like driving with a close friend. He was a phenomenal teacher and always made me feel safe but at the same time was able to recognise mistakes and strictly teach me how to improve.
I looked forward to my lessons and looked forward to driving and it’s all thanks to a wonderful instructor. I 100% recommend if you’re looking for a quick and effective way to get an automatic license.

Gokham is a very supportive and motivating instructor. He helped me to not knowing any thing about driving to passing my final exam at first attempt. Highly recommend driving instructor!

Dern is the best driving tutor out there was a very good experience would highly recommend. Teaches you , so calm and understanding

Gokhan is a brilliant instructor. I had never driven before and was quite nervous. He was so patient and adapted his teaching to my learning style and I managed to pass in a couple months first time. I really wouldn’t have been able to do it without his help and support - highly recommend him to anyone, especially those who are nervous about driving for the first time!
