Thirumala Driving School

Our school is right in Anand Bagh, Hyderabad, on the first floor. We are right beside the Oxford Book Shoppe, which is an easy landmark for most people to find when they come for their first lesson. Learning to drive in this city is quite an experience, so we spend most of our time out on the busy roads rather than sitting in the office. The office is really just for the paperwork and for people to sign up for their classes or ask about the rules. It’s a simple room with a table, some chairs, and a few old posters about road signs and safety. We’ve been teaching people to handle cars for a good while now at Thirumala. It’s a lot of patience and explaining the same things over and over, but it’s good when someone finally gets the hang of the clutch and the gears. We aren't a big franchise with hundreds of cars and fancy logos. We just have a few reliable vehicles and we keep them in good shape for the students. The traffic in Hyderabad can be pretty stressful, especially near the busy intersections in the afternoon, so we try to keep things calm for the students while they learn. We usually start early in the morning before the heat gets too bad for everyone. Being near the book shop is nice because it’s a familiar spot for everyone in the area. We don't do any flashy advertising. Usually, someone’s cousin learned with us.
