AVOID THIS INSTRUCTOR: Luo Chuan Hup (HP: 9385 0059)
I know the title sounds harsh, but it's for the good of whoever is thinking of going the private route to get his/her license. I wish I could tell you my instructor is great, but he isn't. So the least I could do is to warn everyone else.
CONS：
- He has VERY POOR memory and will not remember your driving progress. Heck, I don't think he recognized my face until at least the 10th lesson, much less remember my name
- He will end your driving lessons 10-15 MINUTES EARLY. He says it's so the next student won't wait, but you're actually paying for his toilet break time. Why should that be on your driving lesson time?
- Not interested in teaching, will make you drive in circles near Gombak stadium (his pickup point) so that you can faster end your lesson (super early, might I add). I had a 1hr lesson with him at 9am. At 9.25am, he wanted me to go back to Bukit Gombak and drive around the estate area so that at 9.45am I can faster drive back to car park. -_____-
- He will refuse to bring you to CCK/Teck Whye area (which could be your test route area). Out of my 15 lessons with him, I've only been to that area once. He claims that the area jams at every time of the day which would lead him to be late for his next lesson. (WHAT?! I live there, and it's only jammed during peak hours. All my lessons are off-peak hours WTF.)
- Very slurred English, cannot understand him sometimes. He also can't understand me sometimes, have to raise my voice for him to hear. Maybe Mandarin-speaking students will have better luck.
PROS:
- He has a car. And you can probably learn from experience with driving the car. Don't expect much from him, though.

Wish I could recommend a PDI but I can only share the bad experience with my only PDI sigh. Sorry guys!
cos got some part of the money is go to insurance for tester and the learner driver.. school is ~$200 for test alone with warm up (but the warm up only 30-45 minutes I think)
