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).

Quotes

Sid provided an excellent experience helping to prepare my 17 year old son for the Restricted license test. His calm, patient and friendly demeanour made every lesson stress-free and enjoyable. He provided incredibly helpful tips that not only improved my son’s driving skills but also boosted his confidence behind the wheel. What stood out the most were his practical teaching methods tailored specifically to prepare for the restricted driving test. He broke down each step clearly and ensured my son understood what was expected, which made him feel well-prepared for the test day. Sid was kind, encouraging, and has a great way of providing constructive feedback that motivated my son to improve without feeling overwhelmed. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and supportive driving instructor!
