have posted before, but shall re-post for a gd PDI.

Mr Goh 96712193

Teaches manual at bbdc, pick up at gombak or gas station outside bbdc. rates are $30 per hr for peak.

character is those typical uncle type, can be naggy at times & friendly at others. very seldom late, doesnt smoke or take unnessary breaks.

he has a systematic way of teaching, and crafts lessons according to speed of learning. under him my circuit is near perfect, vertical parking directional change parallel parking all one-time go in without need for corrections. same for S & crank & slope. he taught a few bbdc instructors' kids too. he is also very alert to note my mistakes :s like bad gear shifts, wide turning...and will step in to do emergency corrections if i did something wrong like going to veer off course.

he gets annoyed when i make e same mistakes repeatedly despite him telling me many times, i think also to "psycho" me to remember it for good? hes quite chatty & friendly especially when i drive well that lesson. but when he picks on e mistakes he never attacks e student's character (ie no scolding of "stupid" or vulgarities)

although i took a long time to learn (1 year?) he didnt give up & even gave me more lessons on wkday evenings to make sure i learn faster..im a lousy student but he booked total of ~8 circuits for me, and even helped me book a good tp slot e first time round while i was overseas. when i failed e first time he gave a few more revisions and i then passed.

anyone else engaged him before? Am looking for a PDI there now..

If you want a calm, quiet instructor for BBDC, I can recommend you Mr Peter Ong. One thing bad about him being quiet is that, sometimes he might miss out telling you things.

Like my first TP, he never told me that I can't reverse more than 3 times for directional change, that made me fail my TP. Kinda my fault that I didn't ask him too I guess.

Currently I'm gonna take my 3rd TP tomorrow, hope i pass. He charges $40 for 70mins, for circuit lessons(+$33 for circuit booking) is $50 for 90mins .

He got a rather Cui website Driving School, Driving Instructor

He charges $150 for TP.

All PDIs are not equal of course but it seems the standard, quality varies quite a bit. Not too sure what tests PDI themselves have to go through to be eligible to teach, but given that the authorities no longer issue PDI permits to newcomers, one wonders how much incentive are there to raise the PDI standard besides publishing passing rates.
