A primary rationale why many people choose private driving instructors would be the cost factor.
You can be paying as little as SGD$45 per 90 minutes session (from what I check on the internet some private driving instructors will offer lower rates) with a private driving instructor. And with the same driving instructor (private), you will get better pointers with respect to correcting your bad driving habits, which inturn increases your odds basic theory test of passing.
With the main benefit of working with a private driving instructor is the cost btt test factor, the following challenge you will have is to hire the right private driving instructor to prepare you for your practical test.
When you hire and work with a private driving instructor for the first time, there's a one-time SGD$60 (industry average) as registration fee. The issue lies herein, what if you pay the $60 registration fee and doesn’t get the right private driving instructor? You end up paying the registration fees for a new private driving instructor again (and you face exactly the same risks still).
What we do here in Kukudrivers is to work with a pool of private driving instructors who definitely are good and come strongly recommended. With regards to this, one man’s meat private driving instructor can be another’s posion. Why?
Affinity
As btt test lame as it could sound, you may not have the affinity with a private driving instructor who comes recommended by your friends who have good experience with.
I realize this as this comes from my own personal first hand experience. My first private driving instructor was an ok person and perhaps I’m a little slow initially, he wasn’t exactly patient with me (my friend who recommended me told me he was really patient with him).
No hard feelings, it’s pretty much identical outside anyway, some individuals just “click” more with others.
Over here at Kukudrivers, what we do is to work with a pool of private driving instructors who come recommended and all you have to do is pay us a one-time fee and in the event of you not being able to work things out with your private driving instructor, we will recommend another individual for btt test free!
