Reliable Private Driving Instructor?

[BuGGi3]

I'm not sure if it's worth it to learn driving in Woodlands, when the driving test will be elsewhere... Unless if you wait until SSDC move to Woodlands lah, which will be in March this year. Even then, I don't know if the PDIs would know which routes to teach you.

My dad swears by Mr Chua from Woodlands Driving School (call the same number, but specify that you want to learn from Mr Chua), but Mr Chua was too busy and honestly, he seemed to be very reluctant to take me on as a new student months ago. I learned from Albert Yap who sucks, so don't learn from him (check out my previous posts in this thread).

All the best for your PDI search!

test dates for ssdc is till apr. ssdc is moving to woodlands on 2nd march, but tp will be held at yck till the 25th.

"We are moving to Woodlands on 2 March 2010. From 1 March to 25 March 2010, Traffic Police Practical and Theory are still conducted in SSDC (Ang Mo Kio)." - quoted from ssdcl.com.sg

some of the PDIs frm yck have already started teaching in wdls if im not wrong.

Yeah, I read that from the website too... My friends and family have noticed many L plate cars around Admiralty area. I guess the PDIs have contacts who gave them the test route info? Haha.

Hi guys,

I'm here to gladly recommend my private driving instructor to you guys. As I've mentioned in a previous post, I enrolled with Regent Driving Centre, and one of the instructors I got (and stuck with), was Mr Yeo.

He's a damn patient instructor, and is a very reasonable man. He doesn't scold or nag, but he points out my errors and has a conversation with me about it. Some instructors only see things from their point of view, but Mr Yeo tries to see things from the students' perspectives as well, and goes out of his way to help me understand what I'm doing wrong.

For all that, and for the fact that I just passed my driving test just now on my first attempt, I will gladly recommend to you to learn from Mr Yeo.

Meeting point is at Bukit Gombak MRT station, and the test centre is at BBDC. The car is a manual transmission Honda City. His handphone number is 81833232. If he asks you to call Regent Driving Centre to book appointments (I started out this way), then go ahead and call the guy in charge, Mr Ong at 98587573, but specify that you want to learn from Mr Yeo.

Now go give Mr Yeo a call and tell him Zul sent ya.

All the best, guys!

Edit : Have to thank leonard90 as well, for recommending me to call Mr Ong, even though I didn't learn from him in the end. Thanks leonard90!

Edit : If you call Mr Ong when booking appointments, make sure you specify that you want to learn from Mr Yeo! Mr Ong does most of the instructor allocation and he sometimes ignore what you want! He often tries to offload an instructor called Mr Cheng, and this guy can't teach worth a &%*#$!

Updated pricing, thanks to valuesniper :

In case any one needs to know the charges/fees:

One time registration fee: $50
Off peak : $28 per hour (Mon- Fri 9am – 6pm)
Peak: $30 per hour (Mon – Fri after 6pm, weekends and public holidays)

[ydobon]

Hey, i stay in the east. anyone knows of a good auto instructor? preferably tampines. pasir ris will do fine. and what's the average price they quote?

Just got my licence on 1st attemp with this instructor:-

Mr William Lek - 9021-5833
Car - Manual, Mit Lancer
Feedback - Patient, kind, nv scold ppl (at least nv scold me)
Base - He's registered with @ Ubi driving school
Pickup - YCC MRT

Last of all, i think pass or fail is base on individual progress. So i'm not sure about his passing rate. Most important is comfortable with the instructor teaching you

hey dude. ive just failed my tp last thurs and yes, my "instructor" was LAW NG KWEE. initially i thought the exact same way as you, like perhaps just tahan a few more lessons till tp and nv see his ***** face again. but i really regret it man. the way he "teaches" is really unacceptable. esp on the tp day itself, right before the test i asked if there was anything i cud improve on, he said to ask the tester later. tt was totally wtf? fyi i failed cos of neglected blindspots(exactly as u mentioned).

to be honest i was rather surprised and excited to find ur post regarding him. i tot i was the only one taking in all tt **** ahah. anyway if u treasure ure money, time and blood pressure, just ditch the **** and find someone else.

To be honest, blindspot is the killer (thats what i feel), even thou i turn my head until almost drop off. I too, got -16 off blindspot, well no other mistakes thats y i pass =D I felt tester always deduct points off blindspot. Must take note
