I'm currently studying manual with cdc kovan. I have 2 fixed instructors so I bopian have to see their faces for the rest of my lessons. The thing is, the 2 of them are very naggy and like to scold. I admit I'm not a fast learner and I tend to forget details like checking blindspots whenever I execute a turn that is quite difficult. I would appreciate if they could just remind me instead of being heavily sarcastic and say things that make me feel like I'm ****. I feel very stressed learning under them and I dread every lesson.

Additionally, cdc lessons are expensive as fk and even off-peak sessions are $73. I had 15 lessons so far and I'm still stuck at half of module 2. I'm not expecting gold-class service standards but with the sum I'm paying for each lesson, at least try not to belittle and insult your learner.

I'm already reaching my breaking point with these 2 and I feel like changing over to private. I specifically need a patient instructor who doesn't scold much. Searched online and I found two that I'm considering:

1. idrive.com.sg
A private school. The content on its webpage sounds very promising and it is quite cheap too at $26/hr. (120mins@$52 > cdc100mins@$73) However, I can't find much reviews about idrive and the only reviews can be found in the beginning pages of this thread which doesn't paint a very good picture of them. Anybody who has been with them before can share their experience?

2. Azman Bin Abdul Rani (http://pdireviews.com/azman-bin-abdul-rani/)
He teaches at CDC. The review above tempts me cos "very patient, who doesn't like to scold students" BIG PLUS POINT! Rates are reasonable too @$30 and he doesn't charge registration fee as stated.

I would like to appeal for advice from peeps here: Should I change from cdc to private? I know school is more structured but cdc one team instructors really suck and the price :s22:
I'm tempted to go with Mr Azman. Anyone else experienced him before? I wanna make an informed decision before switching.

Much appreciated! :)
Hello, I have been under Azman when I was a private student. I can say that he really doesn't scold his students. I have not seen him scolding other students nor myself when I was studying under him. His rates are reasonable. (I wrote a review regarding him a few pages behind. I can requote to you if you would like)

There are some cons with him though it is not that serious though I do take it a little serious. Such as promising a two hour lessons but in the end only had one hour due to reason other students are really in need of the extra lessons as their TP are nearing so on and so forth. And maybe, just MAYBE, i cant be really sure, you might not get a warm-up right before your test due to personal and friend experience but as I said I cant be too sure with the other students.

But if you really dont mind the cons i wrote above (there are a little more cons in the review I had) , than I would suggest you taking him. He is really nice and his teaching methods are step by step.

For the TP, may I ask why private costs more? Is it because the warm-up fee and rental of his car is set by him? I think if I go with Azman, I will ask him about the cost first. Thanks for giving me the heads up! :)

Now that I have seen your reply, I think I will consider requesting for that patient instructor first instead of going for Azman. I forgot his name though alamak. I wonder how much the request will cost... I have already spent $1450 so far, depressing eh.

Thanks so much for your help! :D

The charge for TP varies with different PDI, for Azman his charges are $200 without warm-up. For warm-up he charge $260. So $60 is for booking of circuit while $200 is the charge for using his car. So the extra charge is for the use of circuit. Slowly, dont panic. =D

I will like to highly recommend my PDI at ubi teaching manual. I took about 22 lessons include 4 circuit boking with him, he provide me a lot tips and he is very paitence man though I'm a slow learner.
His charging also not high, one and half hour lesson is $45 and most impt I pass on my first TP test. There are few good reviews about him on this forum and I decide to try him and it turns out really good. His car plate no is 6899, he is going to change a new car next month and his new car plate is 2304. His contact is 96169091. No regrets choosing him.

Hi all just passed my TP on my second attempt today :s12::s12::s12: Failing my first attempt had nothing to do with the instructor... Nervousness took over me... So don't worry.

Would like to recommend my instructor Mr Poh. I believe there were other members asking for his number so here it is

Mr Poh, 9640 9816, Class 3

He teaches in Queenstown and BBDC area, rates are 28/hr for non-peak and 30/hr for peak. Circuit costs around 50-60 dollers depending on the timing. TP test cost may vary betweeen 260-280.

Patient and gives very good tips for driving not only for passing your TP but to make you a better driver on the road. I took about 11 lessons and 5 circuits which is quite alot :o but that's because i failed my first TP due to my own faults. Just a tip though best to at least have 1 lesson every week as he may forget about you if you don't learn regularly haha. Other than that I would highly recommend him to peeps looking to learn Class 3 at those areas.
