BAD EXPERIENCE!
Mr Robert Chee, Manual PDI
Claimed to have taught 40 years and above.
*Most of his students failed on first try， some even failed thrice and more.*
He is by far the worse I have ever heard of or seen.
Firstly, he is extremely abusive. He would hit me on my lap really hard if I don't step the clutch in. He smacked my arm when I did not turn the steering wheel fast enough. This started since the 2nd lesson, and I was advised to lodge a police report against him. I did not as I thought he's just a grumpy old man. But as time past, it got worse and he came out with more things that irked me.
Second thing that I can't stand, his mouth. Always verbally abusing me, calling me dumb, stupid and said that I should change to auto since I'm so stupid. He will tell me that I'm the worse student ever and I'm the stupidest he have ever met. Mind you, I was only on my 3rd lesson. I chose to assume that he just have temper issues. I doubted my own abilities after that and I would compare my progress with my classmates. I was actually the fastest and progressing the best. Therefore I did not understood why he had to verbally abuse me all the time.
Next, he kept repeating the same thing for numerous lessons and insisted that I am a slow learner. I was from school, and over there they let me pass 4 stages at one go (which is super rare in school) because I progressed well. I think he was just trying to waste my money. I remember asking him previously, "how much do you charge for TP". He said basic $350 and if you take less lessons he will charge higher. What kind of rubbish is this.
The last straw was when he told me that I can only book my next lesson 1.5 months later, as he has a lot of students and doesn't have time to waste on me. During lessons, he would love to handle the steering wheel for you, jam brakes randomly (or if he thought he saw a car). His theories are contradicting as he would tell me to drive up to 5th gear speed and then scold me for being fast. When I slow down to 3rd gear, he screamed at me for being slow. I am extremely perplexed by his teachings and I cannot understand his lingo. When driving on a bus lane, I slowed down to allow the bus to move off since it had its signal on to move right. He scolded me saying I shouldn't have waited for the bus to move off, asked me to speed off. So I did. When the next bus signaled to move out, I drove on and he screamed at me saying I should have given him way. So what is what? I don't know, when I asked him questions he will scream and say "you think you are very smart?! You don't need a teacher, you go and teach yourself! Ask so much for what? I tell you to do, just do!!!!". I don't talk back because I try to maintain my respect for an elderly, it may sound ridiculous to you guys reading this. But I am a girl, facing an angry old man and my parents have always told me to be nice and forgiving. I just let him rant and shout.
One more thing, when I told him I cannot make it for this particular time slot, he insisted that it is alright. He told me that I can cancel it in the morning if I cannot make it. Sure enough I did, and he made me pay him for that lesson as he couldn't find replacement. I paid him and suddenly he told, now my fees are $53 for 1.5hrs. When I signed up, I had to pay $70 deposit too. Shouldn't his increase discussed or applicable to new students and not his existing ones?
During the last lesson, he jammed brake thrice and I felt really shaken. After doing that he was extremely silent. When I asked him if he did the braking, he said "of course la!!! You're driving so fast! If I didn't brake, you accident already!!!". I was driving at 40km/h on a low traffic road at 8.45pm. The nearest car was 10 to 15 m away. I felt like he did this on purpose, at the end of the lesson, I asked him for my $70 deposit. He only gave me $17 back as he "taught" me today, so he balanced it out.
I really felt like I've wasted my time and money on these lessons that went no where. Please do not find him, if you doubt my words, go ahead and try him then. For girls, seriously just don't bother finding him. He feel that all girls should drive auto as it's easier and he assumed that we are all incompetent driver.
**On a side note, don't bother looking at passfastdrivinginstructorssg , they tried to recommend Robert Chee to me and when I express that I have had a bad experience with him, they just MIA. And seriously, if they can recommend such a shitty instructor, I honestly doubt their standards.**

He has multiple students whom also passed on the first attempt so I'm not the only one 
If anyone is interested in looking for a PDI that speaks english, teaches auto, and responsible, this is the PDI to go!
