Mr Poh (Queenstown)

would like to know if anyone knows hows mr poh(Queenstown) teaching and character,he is quite good as a teacher,but whenever have to book a next lesson,he keeps delaying to tell me,either is i whatsapp him,he seen the text but never reply,or i called him and ask he say he will tell me later but in the end no answer from him also.i told him i have work to arranged not just waiting for his answer which day can which day cannot.im so frustrated right now,not even sure should i change a pdi


I just set up this account to ask you about this! haha, because I was about to message this Mr Poh person to ask if he's able to teach me.

How is he so far? Any changes in his booking behaviour?

What are his rates like exactly, and where does he do the pick up from?

Thanks!

Looking for 3A PDI - West side.

Hey guys!

I've read that quite a number of people here was being recommended to look for PDI Tan Kim Seong teaching 3A @ BBDC.

I tried contacting him just earlier today but unfortunately he is currently fully booked and is unable to accept any more new students. I asked him when he would be available, but his reply was "Sorry I can't really confirm, maybe end of the year".

That's a bummer! :(

I'd like to pass my license preferable by Nov this year.
In need of an instructor pronto, sigh.

Appreciate it if anyone can provide me contacts of any other reliable PDIs at BBDC. Also looking for Mr Lim Soon Sim's contact if anyone has it. Thanks alot and appreciate it! :)
Hey! Are you able to get Lim Soon Sim's contact number or get hold of any PDI already? I'm still looking for a PDI for 3A @ BBDC too ~

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).

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!


Hi,

Can you pls pm me Mr Lee Liak Hong number.

Thanks
