Hello

Is anyone able to recommend a private driving instructor? The lead times for booking lessons at the driving centres are too long (the first lesson available at BBDC is in November).

Good English and patience essential.

Thanks.
The driving instructor who taught me conducts his lessons around yio chu kang area. Not sure if you're interested.

Good english? I'm not sure but patience? He's the most patient instructor I've met. :)

Hello Blue Sapphire,
I just saw your comment regarding a driving instructor. I need a really good one to finally pass my practical test. I can't pm because I am new to the forum, any chance you could pm me or send the guy's contacts to my e-mail.
much appreciated!

I had posted sometime ago about being able to recommend a private driving instructor and received a few pms.

I did a refresher course with him but it was strictly going through the actual driving skills. Being new to driving in a city coming from some remote island I still wasnt confident. I just didnt know how to drive in a city!

So I did a refresher course at Bukit Batok driving centre and they were great. You wont always get the same instructor but they are all professionals and teach really well. But there is an advantage to that. Each instructor assess you depending on what they observe. And they are really good at spotting your weaknesses and will make you do it lots of times until you get it right! You also cover so much more with them. They take you through the different road scenarios and road rules. They were cheaper too per session.

I know some people tend to look towards getting private instructors (was one of them) but after my experience going to Bukit Batok was better. (No I dont work there!)

Thanks, that's very helpful. I am registered with CDC in Ubi and need to pass a driving test there. My understanding is that my instructor has to also be registered with CDC too in order for me to take the test. If this is the case, I will have to settle for your Ubi suggestion.

Driving instructor in UBI

Post by alona09 » Wed, 30 Dec 2009 10:15 am

Actually, the driver in UBI seems to have only an auto car...
Perhaps anyone could recommend a good instructor in UBI area with a manual car?
Would rather go for someone who is recommended...
and someone who charges reasonable fees. Sometimes I get an impression that a goal of certain instructors is to get more money out of you rather than make sure you learn well...
