Hi All.
I've been under a PDI over at ssdc for 5 months. Class 3A. Took 7 lessons and have yet to go to circuit. I guess you can blame it on me that I have no road confidence. But I find it difficult to build up my road confidence as im someone that can't really handle pressure and I need lots of consistent practice.

the issue with my instructor is, while he does not spoon feed you by pasting stickers all over his car to guide you, it is very difficult to book a lesson with him. As I'm working full time, I can only go on weekends and he does not allow us to book weekend lessons in advance(though I'm willing to pay him first).... so my lessons are usually 2-3 weeks apart. And he only allows us to have 1 weekend lesson in a week. Adding on, he is quite naggy and when he nags when I'm driving, that is when I feel pressurised and tend to not drive properly.

Therefore, I've been looking to change instructor but I'm afraid that if I were to change to a new one(which also means having to pay the enrolment fee again), the instructor will turn out to be someone that isn't what I'm looking for.

I've found 3 that reviews are not bad..
- Mr Hap
- Mr Kan
- Mr Liew (but he just texted me saying that his schedule is tight and not accepting any students)

Anyone of you have been taught by them before or do you all have others that you would recommend? Thank you. :)

This is gonna be a longgggggg post!
So anw, i finally passed my practical (class 3A) on my second attempt under Comfort Delgro Centre at Ubi! Was previously a private student under ssdc@woodlands. Had this pdi named MR Lim khim smth? He was quite nice at first and sometimes would even buy you food!However, after a few lessons, he became very angst, distracted and all. When we were at the circuit for the first time, i didnt know what to do and thus made many mistakes. He scolded me for those mistakes made when in the first place he didn't even teach! He was busy using his phone! When i asked him questions, he would go "follow your gut feeling/Agar Agar lo". Walao, if everything agar agar, still need him for what? I might as well agar all the way, then get both of us into an accident and just die la! SO MAD :mad:. He is always telling me that he is busy. I only managed to have ONE lesson per mth despite me booking lessons in advance. Sometimes, he would even cancel my lessons, telling me that he is unwell/not in town. He said that he would call back and reschedule but he never did. I have to call him to check. And guess what, he would then say that his schedule was packed for that particular month and i have to wait for another two weeks or so. This happened more than once. SO, finally i had enough and didn't bother to call him anymore. money wasted... Had to renew pdl as well :s27:

Fortunately, i later on found Mr Loh! He teaches at Ubi. He is a very organized and caring person. He writes down students's name/time of lessons neatly on his planner and he is always punctual. He has these 2-3 files that he used to keep all his docs. Eg, print outs, pictures of test routes and student's sign in sign out form. I really like the fact that he doesn't seem to have that many students as compared to other PDIs as (if i am not wrong) he doesn't teach at night. The latest slot would be like 5pm-6.40pm. So, you wont see him having too many of his students calling him in the midst of your lesson. Also, he can focus on you more and schedule you for more lessons! He starts from the basic;like how to steer steering wheel and etc. Can be a little lame la but he just wants to ensure that you know your stuff. Occasionally would chat and joke with you but most of the time he really just focus on teaching whatever is needed to learn for you to pass. Of course, there will be times he would raise his voice, but it is all understandable la. It's cute that he would even feel bad for raising his voice. He would try to break the ice by making jokes and afterwards explain to you patiently again. Oh and yes, he converses mostly in mandarin. Mr Loh genuinely cares for his students. I could see how disappointed his was when i failed on my first attempt. And i would never forget how he broke into smiles and laughter when i told him that i passed on my sec try.

He provides lessons for people with disabilities as well. This just show how compassionate a person he is. Can actually goggle his name and find out more. He appeared on some sort of news/articles i think? He is charging $60/100mins. Pick up place (eunos/ubi area) can be further discussed. I think his rate is slightly higher as compared to the rest. But for his effort and quality lessons, i think its all worth it. Sometimes, it's just really "you get what you pay". For me to travel all the way from the north to Ubi to attend his lessons simply proves how good this pdi is.

Okay enough of story! I am just so so so thankful to have Mr Loh Lian Choon as my PDi!

could you please please PM me his number? A lot of the instructors I contacted are too packed already. TIA!
