I guess I am one of few (among Turkish community) that passed his driving test at the first time, all thanks to ECOL driving school. Emrah is really a great instructor and teaches with great motivation. He is particularly focusing on details, which is essential if you want to pass the test. Overall, a great experience and would definitely recommend him!

I passed my driving test on my first attempt at Bromley last week. Emrah is highly experienced with routes and possible scenarios likely to happen during the test. Also, I've got lots of experience/recommendation from him for my further driving life. I highly recommend his service not only for the test but also for real life.

Emrah was an extremely patient and helpful instructor and helped me to pass my test successfully first time! Would highly recommend!

Great instructor who was patient and friendly the whole time. His attention to detail was strong and Im extremely happy he helped me pass my test.

I have just passed my automatic car driving test and I would like to thank Emrah for all his excellent tutoring! I started learning how to drive quite late in comparison to most people (in my 30s), however now that I have a small baby it has become a necessity. From the beginning Emrah managed to put me at ease with his professional and patient attitude. He is very punctual and managed to accommodate my busy schedule with babysitters and other commitments. I cannot thank him enough, and I highly recommend him as an instructor.

I tried to learn how to drive about 18months ago and had a very bad experience with an impatient and unkind teacher. This experience, combined with the high- stress atmosphere of London driving put me off and I had resigned myself to not learn how to drive at all. But circumstances change and recently it has become increasingly important for me to learn and so I enrolled in an intensive course using an automatic vehicle and was introduced to Emrah.

I was so nervous and full of dread on my first lesson, but as soon as I met Emrah I knew that I was with someone who would get the best out of me. Emrah is an extremely calm, patient and kind man. His explanations are clear and he provides a safe environment in which I was able to learn, try, makes mistakes and improve. I left every lesson feeling happy and proud of what I had done and full of ideas about how I could improve. Taking an intensive course made me feel like I was making real progress and after a couple of weeks of learning I took my test and passed first time. I would highly recommend Emrah to anybody who feels nervous about London driving. Thank you Emrah for your kindness and for being such an excellent teacher.

His patient, considerate and meticulous approach inspired me with confidence that I was able to pass the test with him first-time and with only one minor fault. Emrah also cut some of my lessons, saying I would need the hours, therefore saving me money. Others wouldn't do that. I would recommend ECOL School of Motoring to anyone who wishes to pass their driving test and to do so with good habits to take onto the road.

After 4 hours of driving and an hour before the test I passed my test thanks to Emrah. Great teacher, gets straight to the point, points out your mistakes and allows you to learn from them. Highly recommend this driving school as well as driving instructor!

Great driving lessons from Emrah, who was calm and patient throughout, wouldn't of passed my test without him! Can't thank him enough!

Had so much patience, talked me through everything and always had time to answer any questions I had Wouldn't of passed my test without him! Couldn't recommend him enough!

Thank you to Emrah for patiently getting me well-prepared to pass my test first time (no faults! ) and for making me feel truly confident on the road. He didn't just go through what I needed to do tactically to pass the test but talked me through why these things were important for driving safety. I appreciated his patience with my own frustrations and his kind, calm demeanour. I would highly recommend!

I completed a 30-hour intensive automatic driving course with Emrah Saygin, who was an incredible instructor! He explained in detail all my areas for improvement, and remembered every junction and every situation that was problematic so we could review what I had done and what I could do better after the fact. I couldnt have asked for a better, calmer, and friendlier teacher than Emrah, and with his help and guidance I passed my practical test on the first try. Thank you Emrah! Definitely recommend!

Emrah was a great instructor! After never having a lesson previously I done an intensive course with him, he made me feel very calm and he made it very easy to learn how to drive. Passed first time and would highly recommend.
