private instructor

Hi guys,
We run this website called private driving instructors and we have instructors from all 3 schools and both transmission. Our instructors are existing instructors in the industry and right now our registration fee is much lower than the norm outside. $65 instead of the usual $70-$100.

However do note off peak periods are preferred nowadays as the on peak periods are really packed. Heard even the schools are rejecting students.

You can ask us for any questions here too.

Hi guys! My current instructor is really condescending and discouraging - not to mention inflexible so I'm thinking of changing instructors. I live in the East (Changi-Bedok area) but I don't mind travelling to CDC for lessons. Does anyone have a good and patient instructor who teaches manual transmission? I'd appreciate some recommendations :s13:

Just passed my driving license manual at Ubi in less than 2 months (and I was oversea for more than 2 weeks). Was not easy to find a reliable PDI few months back, so there is the contact info of the one who taught me. He is good and quite flexible so it was easy to have driving lesson (even after work at 7 or 8pm).

Feel free to contact him (Ivan Tan) at +65 9667 6769. He is teaching manual and auto.

Name: Ivan Tan
Contact: +65 9667 6769

Good luck

Hello! I'm a new member so I cannot PM as of yet. Do you mind PM-ing me about his teaching style? Is he patient? And how many hours did you clock in before taking the exam? Thank you so much.

Guys just wana share this,

I engaged my instructor via Woodlands Driving School. He is constantly trying his best to shortchange me. Somehow or rather he will find ways to start the lesson about 8-10 minutes late. Every single lesson he will need to go to the toilet and sometimes to even just get coffee. Worse part, when he's back with coffee he will 'chit chat' with me and don't give me the signal to go. More time wasted! When we do circuits, he will purposely pick the station with queue or where his friends are teaching nearby so he can get off the car to chit chat with them. When I ask him questions, he can't seem to give me the answer or he simply avoid the questions completely. From my observations, he simply doesn't have the 'heart' to teach. He will MOST DEFINITELY end the lesson 5-10 minutes earlier each time. To be honest, out of the 1.5 hours I feel I barely practice 50-55 minutes. To add salt to wound, previously I did a weekday with circuit he charged $89 but today, also a weekday circuit he charged $90!! He seem very dishonest, stealing both my time and money. I feel very dishearten, cos actually I've taken my test 10 years ago for 4 times but failed each time. I finally mustered the courage to face my failure, only to face stumbling stones such as a lousy instructor. But I don't want to give up. Can anyone please please recommend a reliable, 3A instructor at SSDC? Thanks guys!

Ps: He quoted me $445 for TP including 1.5 hours practice with circuit? Seems kinda exhorbidant?

Btw he is Mr Lim SJN 1103 M. HP: 9270 5388 from Woodlands Driving School. Avoid him like plague!

I tried contacting this pdi (Mr Ivan Tan) a month ago and he was terrible! Advise you not to engage him.

His attitude is very bad and very impatient. Initially, I called him to ask about his rates, timing, pick up etc and after a few questions, he reply 'why I ask so many question?'
I was really shock and angry so I replied saying that the questions I asked are very basic qns to ask by students and I ask why he suddenly become angry and frustrated ? Therefore, we ended the call and I didnt want to ask further anymore.

2nd time, I call him back again hoping that he is in a better mood and this time slightly better and told me he can pick up at Tampines coz he stay there. Then when he became a little impatient, he asked me to just sms him the dates and time I can then he will reply from there. To my dismay, he reply that he is full and not available till end of next month so will only update me when he got slot. Then he also say he cannot pick Tampines??

So why did he even ask me to sms my date and time to him ? Waste of my time seriously!! So I was very piss off by his lousy reply and follow-up so I decided to give up.

Mr Ong PDI BBDC for class 3 manual. He picks up at gombak MRT.

Enroll fee - $50
1hr - 28/30
He teaches in both 1/1.5hr

93832788

Although he does scold, but I feel that he is not those PDI that is out to cheat your money or something, as he allowed me to take TP just after ~10 lessons.
