How do I find a good driving instructor?

Finding the right driving instructor, also known as a PDI in Singapore, for your needs is dependent on a number of factors, including geographical location and both your own and the instructor’s flexibility. We’ll break it down into a few key points for you to consider when selecting an instructor.

• Attitude Matters:

  All accredited driving instructors, male or female, are fully qualified to give you driving lessons. All qualified driving instructors have different attitudes and approaches to driving.

• The Styles of Teaching:

  The only difference between driving instructors is their teaching styles and attitudes. Some of you may prefer gentler, calmer, and patient instructors, whereas others prefer to be pushed and challenged at all times during their driving lessons.

• The Right Choice:

  Therefore, there isn’t a specific way to decide whether male or female instructors are better for you. Whether you decide to take driving lessons from a male or female instructor is entirely up to you. There are many qualified Driving Instructor in Singapore to choose from if you believe a female driving instructor will be more comfortable for you, or if you prefer a male driving instructor. It’s up to you and the knowledge you learn from your instructor during driving lessons to benefit you in driving throughout your life.

How much time does it take to get a driver’s licence?

Assuming you’ve done some pre-planning and set aside time each week to focus on driving, it takes most learner about 2-3 months to complete their driving lessons and pass their licence test.

Also, keep in mind that it would be ideal if you could arrange for your instructor to teach you in the mornings and early afternoons rather than at night. This is because it really helps you get used to the conditions of the actual driving test, unlike practising at night when the roads are dark and traffic is bad. We hope you are able to find a great private driving instructor!
