Hi Need this advise also.
Previously I tried sch but stop now wanna restart, which should i go? school or private for faster route?

IMO if you are new go school learn bah. Unless you very zai in the circuit liao as private got lesser circuit.

Private is fast IMO is a myth. Your learning ability more important.

TBH, you really depend on your ability. I took the school route, cleared everything within 23 lessons did manual transmission.

Personally i think private go for refresher or etc

Hi...anyone got pdi around Ssdc to recomend? And anyone experiencing this before? I’m currently attached to this pdi at Ssdc,same thing(from pdi reviews page),got him from the website Golden Horse smthg(all the positive reviews) n contacted him.To cut short,he is what he is according to the PDI reviews page(was shocked),so,I was thinking of switching instructor which is more patient n not scolding n nagging rudely like you are a small kid🙂.My problem is now,I was pushed to book TP after 3 lessons with him n my TP booked under his Id is in a mth time and I really cannot sit with him in a car anymore.Correcting your errors is of cs fine but scolding,raising the voice while you make a mistake can make your mind to be disturbed n not focus while driving is not something I can tolerate any further.Rude and sarcastic judgemental words are far worst! Nagging all the way and saying you like old woman,very lousy bla3.etc..Question is,Is it possible to use another instructor to practice till my TP? I’m in a dilemma n really2 trouble about this.If anyone has any suggestion do share with me.Thanks

The best private driving instructor - Ivan Tan (96676769)

Name: Ivan Tan
H/P: 96676769
Location: Ubi CDC
Car model : Mazda 2 sedan
Auto-cars (Class 3A)
(Pick up Tampines pick up point/ ubi mrt)*
*subject to availability

I am very happy and proud to say that my driving instructor, Ivan Tan have been outstanding in his performance with a good personality to match! He is professional, committed, polite, joyful, organised and humorous! There is never a dull training day with him! He can talk to you about anything while maintaining a professional outlook on your driving performance.

His tips on the road and circuit is very useful! He plans his lessons well and balances the time training on the road and inside the circuit to have enough time to be confident in both areas.

He is also very patient with his students - he will not yell nor shout at you. I am very pleased to work with him and I got my license with his accurate guidance and encouragement to never give up! His car has always been kept in tip-top conditions by going to car servicing regularly so that those maneuvers in circuit seem effortless. I strongly recommend him to be your next private driving instructor!
