SGdrivinginstructors NOT recommended!

BEWARE! Paid them $85 to get brushed aside with apathy because of one missed lesson! I wonder if they would treat their own instructors the same way if they got diarrhea close to the lesson time and cannot make it! The co-ordinator or whoever that is took his bloody sweet time to reply, then gave a one word reply, then basically pushed the blame to me when i requested another instructor and there supposedly were none because "i missed class so....". So it's my fault? So they're not going to get him to finally reply to my calls? So they're not going to even offer to ask the other instructors for their availability or pass me their contact? Then what are they there for? Just to make a fast buck out of people and show this **** attitude? Don't know what kind of response this is!

Also asked specifically for an english speaker. The instructor mumbles all the time! To his credit, he is a patient and polite instructor, i miraculously managed to pick up some important points, but he never replies to messages or calls, and he only called once, some time after i introduced myself to him the day before! Surprised this wasn't brought to this school's attention. If there's a communication breakdown on their part, shouldn't they be doing something? What kind of school shows this attitude to paying students? Encourage people who had poor experiences to share here also!

Hello! Looking for PDI for SSDC/BBDC that is <$40/hr and has a decent record. Please kindly help! Looking to get license asap (by end of the year if possible). Open to advice as well. Thanks in advance :D

I'm learning from Florence, a female instructor. Teaches at Ubi/CDC area. Was highly recommended by my sister who complained about previous male instructors.

I'm at about my 15th lesson now and experience so far is very good. Friendly, nice and most importantly, patient. Never yell or scold, only raising her voice occasionally if you keep making the same mistake. Never waste your time going toilet or whatever. She's quite booked though I think..

PM me if you want her number.
Hi, new user here, can't pm you but can you please pm her number! thank you so much!

FYI. Just sharing. Seems like you are not alone.


Anyway heads up for anyone engaging them.

A friend of mine paid the enrollment fee but then he decided to pursue school, they did not return the money claiming that enrollment once is non-refundable.


There was no T&C or any sort yet such claims were made!

yes, basically don't bother with them. they only know how to take your money but apart from assigning you an instructor they won't do anything else. anyone can find instructor numbers here or elsewhere for free! if something goes wrong or they talk **** to you, you're on your own. better save your money

Guess that should have been the red flag. Did he/she try to get the fees back somehow?
