Edinburgh City Driving School

Highly recommend ECDS. They are very professional and reliable. I had lessons with Richard and passed my test first time.

I had the pleasure of being instructed by Richard and as someone who has had four previous instructors, I can speak with confidence on Richard's capabilities. He is patient, respectful, kind, engaged, encouraging and most importantly has good patter! He had visual aids (especially for manouvres), helped me with getting practical tests as well as providing ways to study for both my theory and practical tests. He was always extremely flexible with times and locations for pick-up and drop-off. He was the saving grace I needed as a learner who lacked confidence and I cannot reccomend him and his driving school enough 🩷

Passed my test with instructor Filippos yesterday. He teaches calmly, adjusts to my learning style, and always puts safety first. Recommend!

I was put in touch with Filippos after contacting the driving school for refresher lessons, after 10 years of driving very little and having bad experiences with a driving instructor in the past. I was very nervous and unsure if I was even going to be able to drive, but Filippos was very understanding, kind, professional, easygoing and compassionate toward my fear of driving. Even on our first drive together, I managed to drive feeling safe and working through my fears with Filippos - I can’t thank him enough for giving me the confidence to be on the road again and the kindness and friendliness Filippos showed me. I will be forever grateful! Thank you!!!!

I had a great experience learning with my driving instructor Filippos. He is very confident in his teaching skills and has a strong ability to quickly identify a student’s weak areas and work on correcting them, which really helped boost my confidence. He genuinely values his pupils’ time and money and always gives honest, reasonable advice on what is actually needed to progress, rather than unnecessary lessons. He is extremely friendly and creates a comfortable, relaxed learning environment, which makes a big difference when learning to drive. His mock tests are excellent and very closely match what you face on the actual driving test day. If you can pass his mock tests, you are in a very strong position to pass the real exam. He is always punctual and very professional with lesson timings. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive, and effective driving instructor. 🚗✅

I had sessions with Filippos over a period of time and his availability and commitment towards me passing the exam was throughout. He was very precise and will point out every minor or major mistake. His suggestions in terms of test centre and guidance helped me pass my test quickly. He will go to any lengths to see his pupil achieving success and is very flexible. I am grateful the time and patience he provided me and would definitely recommend him.

Filippos was incredibly patient and tailored his teaching perfectly to my pace and personality. He explains things clearly and never rushes, which helped me build confidence quickly. Highly recommend!
