“If you want a driving instructor who actually cares about your progress, putting confidence in your driving and abilities and seeing you succeed, Furkan is the one for you. I had never driven a car at all and was so nervous. He is very patient and always pushes me to keep going even when I didn't have faith in myself, he always did and could see what I couldn't, that I am a good driver and that I can pass. I will update this review once I have passed, because Furkan has given me faith I can! Highly recommend.”

“Highly recommend. I really struggled with driving and following instructions at times due to disabilities and I nearly gave up several times but he was persistent with me and pushed and reassured me and i managed to pass first time.”

“After beginning my driving journey as a very unsure and nervous driver, I was very apprehensive to get back into doing lessons again.
Some browsing later and I found Furkan with UltraDrive, well, it may have been the best decision I ever made.
He’s put confidence into my driving, I no longer feel unsure behind the wheel, he’s taught me everything I need to know to be a safe driver.
The weeks leading up to the test, Furkan made sure that all my weak spots had been covered, and even polished off my terrible parking skills.
In the most simple way, everything I was nervous about, Furkan has completely erased with his teaching.
It has been an absolute pleasure learning to drive with him, and I owe so many sincere thank you’s.
If anyone is thinking of learning automatic in the Crawley area, I personally will always recommend him.
As of this morning, I am so happy to be able to say I’ve passed my test first time, with no faults at all.
This is all thanks to Furkan, I will always be incredibly grateful, thank you!”

“Learning to drive with Furkan has been a rollercoaster ride. He tried various methods of teaching until we found the right approach. I appreciate his encouragement for never settling for less and this helped me to pass my test first time!”

“Very good driving school. Helped me find out what I needed practice with and gave me confidence to learn how to drive. Ultra drive where great at giving clear instructions and valuable feedback that will help me pass my test and have confidence in driving safely beyond my test.”

“I am hugely grateful to have Furkan as my driving Instructor. I was an extremely nervous beginner but with Furkan’s great teaching skill’s my confidence has grown and I finally believe I am capable of driving. Everything is always explained clearly and kindly to me which makes driving a lot calmer equally, Furkan is always enthusiastic and encouraging, highly recommend!
Updated review: I wanted to come on and edit my review as today I passed my driving test and I owe it all to Furkan and his amazing teaching abilities. I will forever be grateful for what you have given me and my family. If you are someone looking to learn to drive I cannot
recommend Furkan enough, he truly made me believe I could do it, and I did!”
Claire
“Furkan is a great instructor who takes into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of the driver rather than going through the motions of “what you need to be taught”. Having driven in my home country for 17 years, he was patient to teach me the other side of the road and help me unlearn some bad, old habits and replace them with more effective ones to keep me confident on the road. I passed first time thanks to him!”
Nils
“Very good driving instructor. Identified where I needed more practice to pass gave me the confidence to take my test. And i now have passed my driving test. 100% I recommend”
David
“Thank you Furkan for your patience with me. I was quite nervous at the beginning of my lessons but you were great in giving clear instructions and valuable feedback. I passed my practical test first time with one minor fault all thanks to you. Like you always say “KISS” :Keep It Short and Simple.”
Will
“I couldn’t have been happier having Furkan as an instructor. Passing on my first attempt with zero faults. He is extremely understanding, and comfortable to be around.
He can adjust how he teaches around yourself, around how you learn. With no lesson becoming too much. With two hour lessons, it prepares you for not only general driving once you have passed, but it allows the driving test itself to go by super quickly.”

“My experience with my Ultra Drive driving instructor was exceptional. They were patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. They tailored each lesson to my specific needs and helped boost my confidence on the road. Their teaching style was clear, effective and fun making the learning process enjoyable. I highly recommend this driving instructor to anyone seeking to become a safe and skilled driver.”
Delilah
“I have been lucky enough to have furkan as my instructor and thankful to him for helping me transition into driving confidently. I have had previous instructors but I have made more progress in my first few lessons then I did with 10 lessons with different instructors. Will highly recommend”

“I had the pleasure of learning how to drive with Furkan an exceptional driving instructor recently, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Our sessions were both informative and enjoyable, making me feel confident and at ease behind the wheel.
One of the standout qualities of Furkan, was his patience. He understood that everyone learns at their own pace and was always willing to take the time to explain concepts or answer any questions I had. He never made me feel rushed or pressured, which made the learning process much more comfortable.
Overall, I highly recommend Furkan as a driving instructor. His patience, effective teaching methods, and ability to create a comfortable learning environment made my experience enjoyable and educational. Learning how to drive can be a daunting task, but with Furkan’s guidance, I was able to gain the skills and confidence needed to become a safe and responsible driver.

“I had a great experience with Furkan as my instructor. He taught me how to drive rather than how to pass my test which has made me into a safe and knowledgable driver. Furkan made me feel very comfortable and was patient on things I needed to work on. I passed first time with one minor thanks to all of his help. I would definitely recommend !”
Daisy
“Furkan was my driving instructor and he was amazing. He was very patient and let me learn things at a good pace, I highly recommend!!”
Fleur
“My instructor Furkan has been absolutely fantastic. I have dyspraxia which has previously caused my driving lessons elsewhere to be unsuccessful and frustrating, but since i started learning with Furkan these issues have disappeared. He’s incredibly patient and so in tune to the additional needs of someone like me, paying attention to my spacial awareness issues and coordination problems providing nothing but solutions. My lessons are calm, comfortable and tailored really well to work with my dyspraxia to the point where it doesn't even seem to be a problem. We take breaks if i feel overwhelmed, talk through the reasons i find things difficult and work around them, and the environment is free of pressure. This has actually resulted in me progressing much quicker than I expected. If anyone has dyspraxia or other cognitive needs and is struggling to drive I would 100% recommend him!”

“I recently passed with Furkan and cannot recommend him enough I have struggled with driving for years and thought I would never be able to learn how to do it, let alone pass my test. Furkan was so patient with me and took the time to get to know how i learnt best and understand what happened when I got stressed or upset. We then worked around this while continuing to push me to do my best, even if I tried to give up. I have ADHD and dyspraxia and neither of these got in the way of my learning experience as he understood the difficulties which came with driving with these conditions and adapted his teaching to accommodate them. As I said before. I could not recommend him more!”
Miah
“ I have passed my test all thanks to Furkan.
I had a few previous experiences when i came to driving however Furkan helped me learn what smooth and safe driving was.
His techniques when i come to driving helped me a lot and the way he explains things made me understand things in a different way.
He is funny and welcoming and always made me feel comfortable.
All thanks to him my test went as smooth as it could have.
I recommend Furkan 100%”

“Furkan was my 3rd driving school I've used after trying others and never really progressing. After my 1st lesson with Furkan I knew that I didn't need to find anyone else. He was professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help me pass, which I did 1st time. Furkan was on time and very accommodating to my limited availability due to childcare. I finished each lesson confident that I'd always learnt new things and that I'd used the time productively. He built my confidence which at times must've been difficult due to being a very nervous driver. Overall my experience with Furkan was 5 star and I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thank you so much Furkan, you're the best at what you do!”
Sasha
“Thank you soo much Furkan for being the best driving instructor ever. Very patient, friendly, helpful and professional instructor. He is not only teaching you how to pass test, he tells you how to be confident while driving, driving with discipline that will help you to be safe. Always trying to find a good time slot for you, pick you up on time. I would recommend you trying to get lessons with Furkan. Thank you Furkan for every"thing that you did for me, you are the BEST!”

“Furkan adapted each lesson to ensure that I got the most out of every hour spent in the car, teaching me how to be a calm and confident driver, something I never thought I would achieve. I highly recommend him as a driving instructor to anyone who wants to enjoy their lessons whilst getting the best tuition. He was flexible with lessons, accommodating my shift work and various pickup locations."
I can honestly say I would not have passed without his guidance and "professionalism."
"Thank you Furkan.”

“I contacted at short notice for a rearranged test due to COVID. With 2 weeks to go to my test I needed to get hours behind the wheel with a focus on observation and mirror discipline. My test was in Crawley where I hadn't driven much before. Furkan my instructor, identified my weaknesses early on and then drilled down and worked on them with focus. He spent time familiarising me with the test route and certain tricky spots in the area. As a result I was confident and relaxed and passed the test. He also put a lot of effort into making the car COVID secure and putting me at ease - first class experience!”
Angela
“I have not driven for 15 years, I lived in London and there was no need for me to drive, I moved to Smallfield and wanted to take my driving back up, I was not confident going back on the road, Thanks to Furkan I had 2, 2 hour lesson and now on the road again, Furkan was very good and he explained things clearly and he was patient I would definitely recommend Furkan.”
