An un-recommendation:
SSDC, Steven Ong through SGdrivinginstructor.com

do not engage
friend encountered ** attitude, kenna scolded for first manual lesson cos stalled car (who never stall manual on first lesson?!!), never instruct only criticise Assume that first timer knows how to step clutch on first lesson. And dirty car. Terrible instructor! Do not engage!

Also avoid ssdc chee kok wan. Class 3A.
A lot of safety check n blind spot never teach, and drag my lesson once every 2 weeks.
Like to throw temper, and comment "children also know".. you can checkout the reviews online and passing rate.

Im lucky another instructor accepted me, and i learn where are my mistakes and passed on my 1st driving test.

Hi. Any luck with this? Looking for one too.
The agent referred me to a PDI yes. Now after 10 lessons everytime I asked him what is the plan he always told me don't have to think far and just follow what he told me to - only learnt u turn that's it. I thought he was with BBDC but no I have to take my simulation at SSDC because he was registered at SSDC. Now I have cancelled with BBDC and registered with SSDC and regretted this as this PDI is one temperamental old guy. Shouted at me for not following his order to turn when the light is already Amber - he shouted at me you so clever right I don't teach you anymore go and drive yourself.

I recently passed on my first try after 17 lessons (at least 7 circuit lessons and including the warm up before exam) with 16 demerit points. Sounds like a lot but I scored 14 points in the circuit due to my TP being too big sized and blocking my back window view causing me to not park properly so strike a kerb when I exit the parking lot. But I would say, 2 demerit points on the road was pretty fantastic.

Spent a total of less than 1.6k including my driving test cost.

Before the exam, my driving uncle even told all his driving uncle instructor friends at the coffeeshop “today is her last day coming already”. Such confidence in me hahahaha.

I love my driving instructor.
9.5/10 because I’m paying for classes!
10/10 or even 11/10 if lessons are free.

Would be my last post here but I will reply to DMs if y’all int in his contact!

3A CDC, lessons around UBI.
Hi! I am not sure how to PM you (sorry, this is my first few times on HWZ) - is it possible to share your PDI's contact with me please? Thank you so much.

Can try Richard. His number is 91550200. A private instructor at CDC.
Richard is a very bad instructor.

1) He says that can learn at buangkok mrt. After 3 lessons all the way at ubi.

2) Don't bother to advise what to do. After learning for 4 months, realised that need to book simulator. When asked him, he then say go and book. And the simulator is another 5 months away!

3) Keep booking circuit, half the lessons are in circuit. Each circuit cost additional $39!!


So I think it's best to avoid him

Posting review for Mr Frankie Yue.

3A, Toyota Axio
Pickup at Ubi CDC (Can arrange for Tai Seng / Ubi MRT pick up)

Chose him mainly because of the review I saw while trawling through the many pages in this thread, and that he also has quite a high pass rate / student numbers as well.

Can confirm that he is indeed a top notch instructor. Took approximately ~10 lessons from him (did have some prior driving lessons with school) and passed TP on the first try some time back.

He is patient, and will point out mistakes every single time you make them. Gives very good tips for driving in circuit and on the road, can fully recommend him. Speaks good English, but does not engage much in small talk. I'm by nature not a chatty person, so this suited me really well. Does not scold you / chide you even if you don't do well, but instead he will remind or nag you.

He is professional as well, and is always there on time. Does not take frequent toilet breaks while driving as well. Even if he does need to answer nature's call, he'll do it quickly.

Only downside is that he appears to have a lot of students, and therefore scheduling can be a bit difficult especially for working adults. (Was running 1 lesson at week for some time).

Feel free to PM me should you want his contact, can 100% recommend him.
Hi, could I have his contact. I can’t pm because I haven’t hit thé required number of posts yet.
