What Students Say

"Today I passed the driving exam and cannot be more grateful to the team of Fahrschule Prima and particularly my driving instructor Gazi. He is a competent and patient instructor who always gives constructive feedback and makes effort to personalise the lesson for every student. He prepares me to plan and react to every challenging situation in a calm and predictive manner, and to not overfit myself to any particular exam routes or challenges. Being able to learn in English with Gazi is also a huge plus for expats like me, making the lesson always less stressful as possible. All in all, I highly recommend Fahrschule Prima 👍"

"I obtained my driving license about a month ago at Fahrschule Prima, and I can honestly say it was a great experience from start to finish. The school has a very professional and well-organized team, but my biggest appreciation goes to my driving instructor, Mr. Gazi. He is an outstanding instructor with a calm, patient, and highly professional teaching style. From the very first lessons up to the final exam preparation, he guided me step by step and made sure I fully understood not only how to drive, but how to drive safely and confidently. His lessons focused on real-life traffic situations rather than memorizing exam routes, which helped me stay relaxed and react correctly during the test. Another huge advantage was the possibility to take lessons in English, which made the entire learning process much less stressful for me as an expat. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience and would strongly recommend Fahrschule Prima to anyone looking for high-quality driving instruction 👍"

"I can only recommend Fahrschule Prima. Having previously driven with other schools, and not enjoying myself due to unprofessional behavior or teachers that were rude, I was happy to find this one. They guide you through the whole process and are open to any questions you might have. The theory is run 4 times a week which means if you’re smart you can be done with all the necessary classes quick and get to studying for the test (I passed the theory first time). The practical part was also well taken care of. The school has many teachers so you don’t have to wait long for a spot and i think when you are planning to spend many hours with someone teaching you it’s nice to have to option to choose who to drive with. I drove with Sabine who I can recommend as a careful and attentive teacher. She was great at letting me know where I was making mistakes and I couldnt have wished for a better teacher. I also have to say that Gazi who I drove a few of my classes with was also a wonderful teacher and if you’re looking for an English speaking driving teacher in Berlin both Gazi and Sabine are perfect options. Don’t be fooled by the many schools offering you cheap options, I know for a fact that many of their students end up here, and you can tell by the several hundred good reviews that Prima is the real deal."

"Excellent Driving School with an Outstanding Instructor! I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Fahrschule Prima in Tempelhof, Berlin. A special thank you goes to Gazi, my instructor, who made the entire journey both smooth and enjoyable. Gazi's patience is truly unmatched—he never rushed through lessons and always took the time to explain everything thoroughly. As a non-German speaker, I especially appreciated that he provided clear explanations in English, which made a huge difference in understanding both the theory and practical driving concepts. What impressed me the most was his selflessness and flexibility. Gazi often went out of his way to schedule classes on weekends to accommodate my availability. That level of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about how much he cares about his students' success. If you're looking for a driving school in Berlin, especially as an international learner, I highly recommend Fahrschule Prima and Gazi in particular. You’ll not only become a confident driver but also feel genuinely supported throughout the process"

"I had an outstanding experience with Fahrschule Prima! As someone who isn’t very confident in German, I was looking for an English-speaking driving instructor—and I’m so glad I found Gazi. With around 14 years of experience, he’s not just knowledgeable, but also incredibly patient, calm, and professional. Thanks to his clear guidance and support, I passed my practical exam on the first attempt, Alhamdulillah. Gazi has built a great reputation in our friend circle. Four of us have already passed on the first try, and one more friend is currently doing practical classes. Two others will be starting soon. That level of trust and success speaks for itself. One thing I really appreciated is that Gazi takes care of everything—including booking the exam when you're ready. There’s no need to stress or keep asking; just trust your instructor. And yes—do your homework! Practice and preparation matter, and if you don’t put in the work, it can definitely catch up with you. Scheduling was always smooth, and Gazi sticks to appointments—something I really valued during the whole process. If you're looking for a reliable, supportive, and experienced driving school in Berlin—especially as an English speaker—I can’t recommend Fahrschule Prima (and Gazi!) enough."

"The Best Driving School in Berlin – Fahrschule Prima & Instructor Gazi. (PLEASE READ IT FULL TO UNDERSTAND) I had failed my practical driving test at another school in Berlin before finding Fahrschule Prima. But once I started learning with Gazi, I quickly realized how different and effective their teaching approach was. Within just a week, I could already see a huge improvement. Looking back now, I’m actually glad I didn’t pass earlier—because honestly, I hadn’t even learned how to drive properly until I came here! Gazi – A Driving Instructor Like No Other. Gazi is an exceptional driving instructor and, in my opinion, one of the best in Berlin. His ability to explain everything in clear and proper English is a game-changer. Many schools and instructors claim to speak English, but in reality, their explanations are unclear and frustrating. With Gazi, there is no such issue—his instructions are precise, detailed, and easy to understand. Professionalism & Transparency. From day one, Fahrschule Prima was transparent about the process. Unlike other schools that make false promises, they told me: "You need to be patient, and we will do our best to help you, but we cannot guarantee anything." And they kept their word 100%—no unnecessary delays, no misleading hopes, and no hidden costs. The weekly driving schedule was managed perfectly. Every Sunday, I received my driving schedule for the following week. Gazi was always punctual, never canceled or rescheduled a session, and ensured that every lesson was productive. Teaching Style – Learning Beyond the Basics. Gazi has a unique and effective teaching approach. He doesn’t just tell you what to do—he shows you in real-life situations. For example, I was afraid of turning left at crossings and T-junctions. When I shared my concern with Gazi, he came up with an amazing way to help me. He took me to a real crossing and stopped the car in traffic for 3-5 minutes—allowing me to observe how oncoming cars reacted. This hands-on approach changed everything for me. From that moment, I was never afraid of left turns again. Honesty & Integrity – No Unnecessary Extra Lessons. Another thing that makes Fahrschule Prima stand out is their honesty. Many schools pressure students into taking unnecessary extra lessons just to make more money. Gazi is different—he actually pushed me to book my final driving test. He said: "Mahbub, you are ready now. We will just do a couple more classes, and you should take your exam." This proved to me that Fahrschule Prima is a school that truly cares about its students' success, not just their money. To further prove this, I want to share a real experience. One of my lessons was 150 minutes long, but Gazi did not take money for it. The reason? That day, rbb (Rundfunk Berlin Brandenburg) came to film a documentary on our driving lesson, and because of the filming, he chose not to charge me. That just shows the kind of person and instructor he is. You can watch the news segment in youtube under rbb channel. Why You Should Choose Fahrschule Prima ✅ No fake promises ✅ No mismanagement ✅ No unnecessary lessons for extra money ✅ A truly skilled and honest instructor – Gazi ✅ Professional, structured, and student-focused approach ✅ Friendly and helpful office staff I honestly can’t think of any negatives to mention. I passed my exam on the first try! The only thing to consider is that the lessons might seem a bit pricey—you pay €105 for 90 minutes. Yes, it’s on the expensive side, but I truly believe you get what you pay for. The quality of instruction is top-notch, and this is definitely not a place that cuts corners! This is not some cheap, low-quality training. Fahrschule Prima and Gazi changed my driving skills and confidence forever. Thanks to Allah (God) and Thanks to them. I passed my test on the first attempt after training here. If you want to learn to drive properly, efficiently, and without unnecessary stress, this is the school for you."

"I can honestly say Prima Driving School is one of the best in Germany. I was worried after hearing stories about other driving schools being arrogant, money-grabbing, and unhelpful. However, my experience with Prima and my instructor, Gazi, was fantastic. He explained everything clearly in excellent English, which not only helped me pass my practical exam on the first attempt but also gave me valuable knowledge for driving in Germany. Gazi was incredibly sincere and even adjusted my lesson times to mornings when he noticed I was tired after work. The process was also very efficient – I got my practical exam appointment and passed within 5 weeks of starting practical lessons. I highly recommend Prima Driving School!"

"Living in Berlin since December 2019, I never really prioritized getting a driving license. But last year, my wife gave me the push I needed—and I’m so glad she did! I registered with Fahrschule Prima and started my journey. After clearing the theory exam, I began practical driving classes on October 16, 2024, and I’m thrilled to share that I passed the practical test on my first try on November 29, 2024—all within just 45 days! The staff and instructors are incredibly professional, cooperative, and supportive. Thanks to their clear guidance and detailed explanations, I passed my exam on the very first attempt! I had zero prior driving experience, but thanks to the structured approach and expert instructors, everything felt achievable. The scheduling was seamless, and the entire process was designed to keep me focused without feeling overwhelmed. I simply trusted the process, and it worked like a charm. And guess what? All the classes were conducted in English, making it much easier to learn and understand. To anyone out there procrastinating or feeling unsure about getting their license: just start! Take that first step, trust the process, and you’ll be amazed at how smoothly things can progress. It’s not just about gaining a license—it’s about gaining confidence and freedom on the road. If I can do it, so can you. 💪🚦 Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable, effective exam preparation. Thanks again to the amazing team for helping me achieve this! #DrivingLicense #Motivation #Germany #BerlinLife"

"The name Prima is Prima for a reason! An absolute rockstar team. Right from the support team to the instructor, they put every effort in ensuring you are set up for success. 1. Price : On par with the market 2. Location : Right in the height of Kreuzberg and closer to many modes of transport. Also the neighbourhood has diverse roads and Autobahns that prepare you for the most complex of situations 3. Communication : Very prompt and precise and give you enough time to confirm the appointment and adjust should you have to change 4. Instructors (Gazi and Sabine): Both English and German speakers. A pedigree that has over 50 years of combined experience. And it shows. They don't set you up for the practical exam until you are absolutely ready and that really really helps. I finished my exam today and passed on the first attempt and felt that the lessons were so intense that the prufung felt like a breeze. You can genuinely feel they are deeply invested in your success. Id highly highly recommend this place. Thank you Prima, it has been a lovely experience."
