Choosing Sirens Driving School to teach me to drive was a brilliant choice.

Pretty 15th November 2011

 I just wanted to take the time out to say a big thank you to Suresh for helping me to pass my driving test first time. Choosing Sirens Driving School to teach me to drive was a brilliant choice. I was a bit apprehensive before taking lessons again as I had been taking lessons for a while with a previous instructor elsewhere and was not getting anywhere. With Suresh I gained back my confidence. His lessons were excellent. He was very good at working out my strengths and weaknesses and adapting his lesson plans accordingly, and his lessons were very friendly, patient, and encouraging. With each lesson I felt like I was one step closer to passing my test and being a driver. I don’t feel like one lesson or more importantly one penny was wasted on any of my lessons. At times I was very busy and the flexibility of times available for lessons were fantastic. Most important of all, when I passed my test yesterday I know that I am ready to drive on my own. I wasn’t just taught to pass my test by Suresh but also to be a good and safe driver. I would recommend him without any hesitation to all my friends and family and anybody that is looking to learn to drive.

PRETTY.

"Raj was very flexible" Sridhar Nara 18th Oct 2011


A huge thanks to Raj for teaching me drive and giving me the experience I needed which enabled me to pass my test in first attempt!, I may not be done with out Raj. He tried a lot to make me pass in first attempt and executed as for the goal.
 
I was very grateful that he was able to fit my needs as myself at work some times he picks me for lessons some times directly from work. Raj was very flexible when it came to arranging lessons, arranging them at short notice, of various lengths and ending at either my home or workplace depending or where I needed to be. He was taught in such a way to pass first time itself also told so many guideline’s about do’s and don’ts. He is really an excellent instructor. I started my first driving with Raj before this I have never had any experience in driving a car.  - A great relief & very useful.
 
He was always calm and friendly and explained things well. He showed me different ways of doing things (e.g. different steering methods when parallel parking). Raj also encouraged me to push me too far (e.g. When we are not comfortable on any of the controls he made us to make it easier by showing the easiest methods to do those, he got me to do this a few times until I felt comfortable with it.
 
I will definitely recommend Sirens Driving School when I hear of anyone wishing to learn to drive or change instructor! Thank you again.

 

"Suresh was a very patient and diligent instructor" Crystal 19th Oct 2011

Suresh was a very patient and diligent instructor. He quickly was able to determine my weak points and made sure I was ready to take my practical test. I was licensed in the U.S. and Suresh made sure he hammered out my driving Americanisms as well as made me roundabout ready. I now laugh when I'm on the road when people use the incorrect lanes for roundabouts. I would recommend Suresh and Sirens for driving instruction. They are great!!
Thanks, Crystal

Excellent Driving Instruction: Amogh 8th October 2011

It feels great to have passed the practical driving test in the 1st attempt. The main reason is the way of instruction and coaching that I got from Raj Vyas. I would like to sincerely thank Raj for his excellent teaching skills and time which has certainly helped me become a confident driver. I got to practice on a variety of roads, in different weather conditions. Raj has been very patient and flexible in his teaching style and has always helped me improve over my mistakes. He would thoroughly explain me whenever I would go wrong and he would correct me by practise till I get it right. I really admire such an instruction and feel fortunate. Raj at Sirens Driving Academy was recommended by my friend and I too would be more than happy to recommend Raj and Sirens Driving Academy.
Many Thanks! again...Kind Regards, Amogh.

No MinorsNo minors on his driving test

Rachel Cousins 6th Sept 2011 

I have been learning to drive on and off since the age of 17(almost 4 years), and I have had over 4 different instructors in that time including 2 tests from my first instructor which I failed. I have been learning with Chrissie since Easter this year and I have learnt more in these past 5 months than in the last 4 years. She was always very honest with my driving and progression and helped me get my self confidence back as well as improve my driving to a very high standard which left me passing my test on the 6th september with 2 minors. I am very pleased with the time and effort Chrissie spent with me and I will recommend her to anyone learning to drive.   

 
 

Luke 31st August 2011

After having a gap of three years between driving lessons and with my test just over a month away I took a leap of faith and signed up for twenty hours with Sirens, in particular the driving god that is Suresh. I have had two previous instructors who to be frank were not so good, I was really impressed with the methods and techniques that Suresh uses and his general positive and calm demeanor. After twenty hours with Suresh I felt like a really confident and safe driver, I took my test and passed with no minors,woop woop. Massive thanks to Suresh and all the guys at Sirens.

“I would like to thank Sirens Driving academy for their quality driving lessons and customer service,  in particular my teacher Christina. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor, she has a unique way of making you feel relaxed and at ease which makes learning to drive the enjoyable experience that it should be.

I would highly recommend Christina to any prospective learners” 

 

Libby Trustcott after passing her driving testHi Debbie,
 I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you for everything
you have done to help me pass my test. I have learnt so much from you,
and my driving skills have improved massively because of your patience,
understanding and fabulous way of explaining everything. I could not
have have passed my test without you and I definitely wouldn't have had
as much fun. All those hours spent reversing round corners really has
paid off and I can't wait to go out and buy my new car, knowing now
that I don't have to have mum or dad sat with me. Thank you so much for
everything, I really look forward to doing my Pass Plus with you in a
few weeks time!
Lots of Thanks and Hugs,

Libby x 28th January 2011

I would like to say thank so much to Sirens and especially a big thank you to my driving instructor, Suresh for helping me pass my driving test 1st time!!! Suresh is a great instructor... he always turned up on time and gave plenty of warning if he needed to change my driving lesson. Suresh's instructor skills were brilliant and I felt at ease learning to drive with him! Thank you again!!Kind regards Fiona

Fiona Bean 12th Jan 2011

I would really like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Sirens especially Raj, who helped me to pass 1st time with only 2 minors! after attending the pre 17 lessons, I was confident with basic driving when I started driving on the road.
I will definetly be recommending Sirens to my friends and family! Thanks again

Nicola Cartwright 12th Jan 2011

Hi Suresh! Hope you're doing well.

I took 20 hours of lessons with Suresh over a period of 4 months, and passed on my first try. I had a few lessons with another instructor prior to contacting Sirens, but was left with no confidence or suitable skills, but did have a considerably emptier pocket.
On the very first lesson, he took me out on the road and we got on with actual driving, and within a few weeks, we had covered all the manoeuvres. He was always patient and encouraging, and went the extra mile to ensure that I was happy with the way the lessons were going. One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that he was always early for lessons, and some days, we even finished 10-15 minutes later than we were scheduled to, which just goes to show his commitment to his pupils, rather than just doing 'a job'.
I noticed that instead of just memorizing moves like my previous instructor told me to, Suresh actually made me understand what it was I was doing, and how to fix it, instead of just trying to get it right the first time.
I was extremely happy with my lessons, and the value for money that Suresh and Sirens provided, and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get reliable driving skills!

"A Big Thank You to Stephen & his Colleagues"

 I would like to say a big thank you to Stephen & his colleagues at Sirens Driving Academy. Their under 17 driving lessons at Bovingdon Market meant I knew the basics of working the car, which gave me a great start to my on road lessons. 29 hours of lessons later I passed my test 1st time and was very, very happy. I will definately recommend their services to my friends & family.

"Ensured that I was generally a safe, competent and confident driver"

I would like to thank Raj Vyas of Sirens Driving Academy for his excellent teaching. I found him to be very patient and friendly. He not only prepared me well for my test but also ensured that I was generally a safe, competent and confident driver.

Many thanks Ikjyot Suri 11.10.10


"highly methodical way and built confidence"

Hi, Congrats me that I passed my driving test in the first attempt with 4 minor faults. I took 26 hrs of lessons with Mr.Suresh from your driving academy. Before Sirens, I took 3-4 hrs of lesson from some independent instructor and I didnt find it going anywhere. After I started taking lessons with Suresh, all my weak points were rectified constructively to induce confidence in overall driving. Having driven car in India, you pick all the wrong driving habits, which is very important for one to get rid off. Thanks to Suresh, with his help I was able to learn driving in a highly methodical way and builtconfidence in me. Now I am on road and feel very confident while driving on motorway as well in town. I strongly recommend Mr. Suresh to anyone who wants to learn driving quickly, safely, and as a skill for life.

Thanks Suresh...Rajkumar 09.09.10

"Find ways of improving my driving"

I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Raj Vyas for helping me passing my driving test. From the very beginning, Raj had taught me the ways of driving in such an understandable and interesting manner. He would always try to find ways of improving my driving so that it was up to a very high standard. Raj would not hesitate from taking up lots of time to correct a problem in my driving and ensure that the same mistake does not happen twice. He has given me compliments from time to time in order to boost my confidence and pointed out the areas that I have been doing well in. After moving house, Raj would not find it a problem to come and pick me from my new house which is quite far away from the previous house and for this I am extremely grateful. I would happily recommend Raj to any new learner drivers out there simply for the excellent learning experience I had. I wish the best for Raj and the Academy and again thank them for helping me pass my practical driving test on my first attempt.Yours sincerely,

SKIDS Project


Harrow Connexions PAYP (Positive Activities for Young People) have now used Sirens Driving Academy on several occasions as

the difficult-to-engage young people we work with have requested for it time and time again!! Sirens have provided two hour driving workshops to the young people we work with, and we have found this is an innovative way to entice young people to engage with the service, where they may have shown some hesitance initially. We work with young people at risk of exclusion or offending and here are some quotes from them about their service:
 
"I love it!"
 
"It was too short!"


In post-evaluation with the young people, they mostly always give it full scores and always ask when they can do it again.The instructors have been engaging and fun, and there is a realistic mix of driving along with road safety lessons, as they aim to teach young people key skills about this aspect and not just the practicalities. There tends to be a good sense of team spirit as they take the young people through manual and automatic driving skills. The young people especially enjoy the beer goggles section, where they can experience first hand the lack of control involved in drunk driving. We plan to work again with Sirens in the future and would recommend them to anyone dealing with young people

My testimonial for Suresh

 
I found my driving instructor to deliver a very good service and I see him becoming a major asset to Sirens Driving Academy my instructor showed patience, passion and flexibility in the way that we ran our lessons. Some of my friends have complained about becoming bored on their driving lessons, but during my 2 hour lessons, we always found a new challenge or tackled a busier road.  I was ready to take my test after about 20 hours of lessons but had to wait for a test date, even so I found that if I wanted to to practice a certain manoeuvre, or even an entire mock test, my instructor would simulate test conditions perfectly with real test routes. He was very accurate at recording and correcting faults and that paid off when I passed my test first time with 3 minors. My instructor was late once by about 5 minutes during my 4 and a half months of lessons, and he was very organised. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sirens to anyone looking to take their driving test, in fact, I had already helped a colleague to start her lessons with my driving instructor before I took my test!
Thanks, Rishard 05.09.10
