Just passed today

My Instructor: Teck Kiat Ong | Facebook
Class 3 Private, Red Mitsubishi Lancer GLX MANUAL
Contact: 93832788

Fees: $28/Hour, $30/Hour Peak/Sat/Sun/Public Holiday/Normal days after 5pm. $50 Enrollment fee

Circuit price as of recent: $34/Hour.
Note: He usually ask Mr Seow Eng Wah to take his students for circuit practice if he cannot get circuit.

PDI for Bukit Batok Driving Center

Overall not bad la, i took TP at 10+ lesson but fail, after 20+ lesson pass liao. He will scold, but only at your mistake, he really say until the source of your mistake so u wont do it.

you all normally text or call ah?

Hey guys, wanna ask something, regarding the instructor at CDC/BBDC etc, is it that the instructor is registered to that driving centre or just a geographical issue?

Hi, anyone took lessons under a Mr Soh Guan Hong? Saw that his passing rate is quite high. Or are there other good private instructors to introduce in Ubi area?

my PDI, mr tan kim seong (PM me if you interested), offers autocar lessons for $48/1.5hr peak AND non-peak (that's what he quoted me, anyways) under bbdc.
meeting point is bukit gombak mrt, where you'll drive out of the open-space carpark and start your lesson.
50bucks enrollment fee.
circuit is additional $32/23 per hr depending on peak/non-peak respectively.
he don't usually book lotsa circuit practices for his students (as we practise in a 'fake circuit'). he says 5 is the max. o.o i made him book 3 before my tp.
the 'fake circuit' was wrapped up cuz the land got sold off. so now his students learn parking on a makeshift open area place. i guess to learn S-course, narrow course & directional change, you gotta book actual bbdc circuit. :C
anyway, he has a pretty high passing rate if you'd check out the statistics. i passed first time (and thereby helped raise his passing rate too lol).
he speaks both english & mandarin fluently. he prefers you to call him for lessons and everything. doesnt usually reply to your texts anw.
he does take toilet breaks but very rare.
he's pretty punctual and ethical and patient etc. he nags a lot, which i think is pretty good cuz you'd be told where you go wrong and hopefully remember and not repeat your mistakes. (well in my case, i kinda grew dependent on his instructions X: but he'd gradually reduced his instructions to the point you're on your own a couple of lessons before tp. yup, that's good practice imo.
all i needed were 20 lessons with him (exclusive of the warmup before tp). i'm quite a slow learner and slow reaction to road conditions etc, so you might expect fewer lessons.

hope that helps~ ;)

does he teach manual?

judging from his schedule, he has quite a lot of students. like, everytime i try to book lessons for the following week, there are very little slots left.

so i developed this technique of booking lessons with him two weeks in advance.

HTH! ^^

p.s. i've PM-ed you his no. alr
