Could anyone please recommend me a good BBDC private manual instructor who will correct your mistakes, instead of just lending his car to drive?

I'm currently learning from someone who has been charging me $55 for each manual lesson on the weekends (1 Hr 30 Mins) (Do you guys think the price's reasonable?)
Not only that, he's charging me $200 just for tp itself too.

I have already taken 12 lessons with him and I feel like I'm not learning much.
Really appreciate some help from you guys..
Oh, and I wish to have an English-speaking instructor, thanks!

Can someone reply me, thx

I am currently learning under a ex-BBDC instructor who taught there for more than 10 years. Based in yck area but test at ssdc. He is very patient and always tries to boost your confidence unlike some other instructors who will blame you for making mistakes. PM me if interested.

I just called Liew Yew Seng for a refresher course. I passed my licence for almost 10 years and I never drive once. Ok, maybe a few times when I got my licence. The rates are $60 for 1.5 hours plus a $30 refundable deposit. He said I probably need 5 sessions since I passed so long ago. *so paiseh*

Hi All

I passed my test on tuesday!! damn happy.
Strongly recommend my private instructor, i managed to pass one time under him.

Intially im under a manual instructor (his name is mentioned in this forum), he is kinda fierce. always 'suan' me when im driving, too stress to handle so gave up when im at the 9th lesson.

Switched to my curent one, he teaches Auto @ wdlands ssdc. Very nice person, most of the time im his last student of the day, he will let me drive back to my hse in yishun. NEVER scold me once or suan me. He is very encouraging, always joke in the car and telling me abt buddhism.

Total i took abt 30 lessons under him, actually is ard 20plus only. the first 5,6 lesson i got lazy, so just go twice a mth. lol. not counted ba. until june when i book my test date den i chiong all the way one wk 3 lesson.

Alot of pple passed one time under him, he show me all the sms which his students send him after they passed.

Sory for the long post. Do PM me if anyone need his contact =)

Hi all. I just passed my driving test today (First attempt!). Kena one of the infamous "terrible" testers but I managed to pass with 16 demerit points (all anyhow give one).

Proof pic!

Anyway would sincerely recommend my PDI. Let me share my experience with my fellow HWZers.

I was recommended by a friend to engage Mr Lee Liak Hong to learn Auto driving. He teaches both Auto and Manual but prefers to teach Auto. His car is a chrome toyota and is very clean and well maintained. Now his charges are higher than the average fees from other PDIs but it's DAMN worth it. You pay for the quality. (Read on...)

Basically, he is the down-to-earth kinda instructor who is very patient and attentive in teaching. (Never sleep/doze off on the job) He will not scold or raise voice at you even if you make grave mistakes (+1 as you know how terrible a student will feel if kena F for every mistake).
One particular incident I will never forget was during my initial stages of learning. I made too wide a turn that almost hit the car turning behind. He pulled the steering wheel and didn't say a word. After the car was out of danger, he told me to slowly go to the side of the road and stop. He explained very calmly about my mistake and the dangers, and went through with me what I did wrong and what I should have done. I was really scared but impressed with his teaching methods. The way he teaches is very reassuring and honestly, makes you feel confident in driving.

Every lesson is a relaxed atmosphere. Not those tense, kanchiong type. He will not waste your time asking you do stupid things. Every lesson you sure learn something new and he will correct your mistakes. He is also very flexible and accommodating to your changes (even last minute ones). MOST IMPORTANTLY, he is VERY well mannered!

Before your actual driving test, he will usually schedule a circuit and road lesson on the same day to give you a very thorough "pre-test" course. He will also give you a map of the circuit and tell you to look through it before every circuit lesson.

From his record, most of his students pass on the first if not second try. Many students also jump from school/other instructors to him so his schedule is always packed. So must arrange subsequent lessons in advance.

Summary
Name: Mr Lee Liak Hong (PM me for his contact. I am always active and will respond to all PMs)
Location: Comfort Delgro Driving Centre (Ubi, meet up point at the coffee shop outside the school)
Car: Toyota (Chrome colour think is camry or axio)
Charges: $32 weekdays. $34 weekends & PH
Total sessions: 20+ sessions including minimum of 6 circuits. (Each session can be 1 to 1.5hr)

My total learning fees under him
Registration fee: $50 (standard fee)
25 sessions including 6 circuits: $1,289
Total lesson hours: 36.5hrs
Test vehicle rental fee: $180 (This includes the vehicle insurance)
Total: $1,519

Really appreciate his efforts to helping me pass on the 1st TRY! :)
You can quote me (Roy) if you wish to contact him!
