Top 10 Instructors of the Year 2021 

Hi, my name is Sid.

I still remember how it felt when I got my driving licence - a sense of freedom and power that put a big smile on my face. 29 years later, I’ve been in New Zealand for 21 years with my beautiful wife and son. 

As a Driving Instructor, I have the privilege of assisting drivers at each of the different stages of their driving journey. My students have told me that they felt at ease with me because I’m patient and engaging whilst encouraging them to get outside their comfort zone to build their confidence.
My philosophy on driving (just like in life) - see where you are going (scan & plan), check where you have been (mirrors) and focus on what is presented to you (what's in front of you).

I’m a nervous driver and was worried about my ability to get my restricted. I passed and Sid helped me do that. He was beyond helpful with getting me to the level I needed to be at. He is a kind and helpful mentor. Sid not only guided me but believed in me, which is definitely needed and appreciated. It was worth getting a driving instructor and I 100% recommend Sid.
