I would like to thank the instructors who have taught me for Class 2B. Most notably to Mr Steve (6789), Mr Ang BP (6524), Mr Benny Pon (6736). I cannot remember each individual names but hope the school is able to retrieve it and pass on my thanks to them properly and sincerely. I think in this day and age, it is rare to find such dedicated instructors!

They have not only been very thorough with conducting the lessons, they have taught me great skills and are not shy with imparting knowledge to me. As a student, I enjoyed all the lessons as the instructors made it a really fun and safe environment. Never once did I feel inadequate under the care of the instructors since they are always encouraging and supportive. Also, each time I go for revision I also learn new tips and skills for me to improve on hence helping me pass my Class 2B on my first try.

Thank you so so much to all the instructors. A pity I could not meet all of them to say my thanks therefore I’m putting in this feedback/ compliment.

Just passed my TP recently as a BBDC school learner, I would like to given special appreciation and gratitude to the instructors that have guided me, from lesson 1 all the way to the final revision lesson and test warm up.

I would really recommend instructors from Group G8038. Many of the instructors there are really experienced, with special shoutout to Mr Chua TW (6479). Although he only thought me for one revision lesson, he pointed out my weak spots and told me effective methods on how to do lane change, the idea of “targeting” the vehicle that I would like to overtake, allowing me to smoothly lane change. He encouraged me and calmed my nerves down when he was my warm up instructor, reminding and updating me of the road blocks that are present. I would strongly recommend others to be mentored under him as his teachings are relevant and is on top of what the book teaches.

Another instructor that I would like to give special mention about Is Mr Lam CC (6245). He mentored me and brought me through the entire of stage 3, which I initially had difficulty doing: s course and parking. He was really patient with me and taught me how to effectively sight the various sighting points.

I was a BBDC class 3 learner and recently passed my TP test and graduated.  I would like to thank the instructors of G6068 for making my Class 3 journey a fun and enriching one for me. All of them were helpful and knowledgeable in their own way and some also shared their experience along the roads to aid me in my learning.

Would like to specifically thank three of the instructors:
Mr Lau BW (6807) for making a big improvement in my circuit skills (especially my parking courses) and his encouraging words and actions during one of my revision lessons.
Mr Tan TO (6619) for making me less nervous when I was still new during my first few lessons; he tried to make the lessons fun and make me learn at the same time.
Mr Hanafi (6816) happened to take me once also, and he also gave several tips (such as lane changing) that were helpful during my TP test.

Once again, thank you BBDC for making my Class 3 journey a great success!

I had the privilege to be under the guidance of Instructor Ong RH (6793) for a few of my practical lessons.  What sets Instructor Ong apart is his extensive experience as a driving instructor. From the very first lesson, his seasoned approach, coupled with patience and professionalism, created a comfortable and effective learning environment.

Instructor Ong’s wealth of experience was evident in his ability to provide clear, concise instructions, making complex maneuvers seem straightforward. Tailoring each lesson to my individual learning style, he ensured that the learning process was not only informative but also enjoyable.

His commitment to safety and responsible driving habits, shaped by years of experience, went beyond the immediate goal of passing a test. It equipped me with the skills needed for a lifetime of conscientious driving.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Ong RH (6793) as your fixed driving instructor. His exceptional teaching skills, rooted in extensive experience, guarantee a successful and confident journey on the road. Thanks to him, I passed my TP test on the first attempt with only 2 demerit points.

I would like to express my appreciation for Mr Lau GL (6623) for his dedication to his work, and professionalism in coaching me for my driving lessons. He is a very good instructor with keen eye for details, and is able to correct many of my mistakes in a gentle way. He not only explains the right techniques, but is able to balance coaching with giving me sufficient room to explore doing corrections on my own. Mr Lau also never fails to encourage me, and bolstered my confidence before my TP test. I would also like to thank the other instructors in G8011:
– Mr Lim Lee (5890) is a very experienced instructor. He is strict and fatherly at the same time! Mr Lim excels in teaching parking techniques as he is very focused on precision in turning et cetera.
– Mr Lim TP (2403) focuses 200% in watching me drive, and is able to point out many of my mistakes like failing to check blind spots. He is an expert in “TP’s favourite routes” and “common errors” in the circuit.
– Mr Chua LC (2304) is instrumental in helping me improve my observation skills by actively telling me where to look!
– Mr Lim KS (2704) has a calm demeanour, and he is very patient when he explains techniques.

Thank you to my instructors from G6007 for their guidance, encouragement and tips in getting my license! Biggest shoutout to my instructors Mr Aw Yong CY Vincent (6281), Mr Huang JW Frankie (6308), Mr Choo SM Joseph (6584), and Team Leader Ryan Tan (6439) for making my learning at BBDC a fun and enjoyable one!! 🙂

Not forgetting Kendrick Ng Jun Long (6752) from my auto car lesson! Kendrick was a super bubbly, fun and a chatty instructor which made my auto car learning a very chill and fun one hahaha thanks Kendrick! 🙂

Mr Ng KL (5926) is a very kind and patient man. Impart lots of wisdom into me throughout our few lessons together. Thank you for also recommending me to get a cushion knowing I had difficulties reaching the pedals at first.

Mr Lim CL (6059) is very strict with his teachings and possesses great knowledge. He is very blunt and never fails to catch on my weak points but his bluntness allowed me to improve and learn better. I always veer off course and Mr Lim gave me great tips on how to stay in my lane.

Mr Kee CH (6740) taught me twice during my whole learning journey in BBDC but I remembered how he was a very patient and kind instructor! Although I had problems with my vertical sighting point at first, he took extra efforts in helping me find my sighting point.

Vincent Aw Yong (6281) is an all rounder instructor! He took me at my very first practical lesson and taught me at various stages till my last few revision practices. I was super nervous about coming to learn how to drive at first but because of how friendly, easy going and patient he is, I look forward to my lessons. Vincent makes me feel like I’m talking to a friend instead of an instructor so that I won’t feel so tensed up when driving. He is also very stern with his teachings. He made sure I understood the lessons and prompt me to ask questions when in doubt. I remember how I had a hard time controlling my clutch and break from Stage 1-3 but he always reminded me to be calm and never once showed any annoyance throughout despite me making repeated mistakes which I really appreciate! I never struggled to understand the modules he taught too. Other than teaching, Vincent would always say hi whenever he saw me around BBDC and ask me about my progress. Vincent was very encouraging throughout and was also there to encourage me on my big day as well! Biggest thanks to Vincent for making my learning at BBDC an enjoyable one and looking out for me!! 🙂

Frankie Ng (6308) taught me during most of my Stage 2 and Stage 3 lessons. Frankie’s teaching is quite unique. Frankie will exaggerate his actions, movements and even have sounds effects when teaching which I thought was quite funny at first but really helped me remember better along the way while I learn other circuit items/ modules. When learning U-turns, right turns, traffic light arrows, Frankie gave great tips on how and when to start turning especially since I was quite lost at first. He also brought me to the roundabout although it was not tested for TP just so that I have an idea of how to do it if I were to drive outside in the future. During Stage 3 circuits, I appreciate how Frankie would always go through with me what was taught in the previous modules although I have already cleared the module, to check my progress and ensure that I can perform the courses. Though I have room for improvements, Frankie always encouraged me by reassuring me that I’m doing okay which made me more confident when driving. Big thanks to Frankie for all his encouragement and tips! 🙂

Joseph Choo (6584) took me for a few lessons in Stage 2 and Stage 3. Joseph feels a lot like a “father” than an instructor. He gives lots of real life examples based on his past experiences and shared with me on how to improve my driving skills. He taught me how to analyse the road situations, predict movements of cars ahead of me and always reminded me to look far for hazards when driving. I also remembered how I was super bad at managing my footworks at first but he came out of the car and use his “pointer” to show me the biting point of the clutch which helped me understand the car’s biting point better. Apart from that, Joseph also looks out for me when he sees me at BBDC and always asks about my driving progress. He is generally a very friendly and easy-going soul too! I always see him greeting his peers around BBDC and even say hi / chat with my friend when he see my friend around BBDC although we’re in different groups haha! Thank you Joseph for being one of the friendliest instructor and the many tips you’ve given me too! 🙂

Team Leader Ryan Tan (6439) from G6007 only took me twice during my whole learning journey but his tips made a great impact on my learning experience! Ryan is very knowledgeable and his teaching is firm. He explains the theories in great depth and gave me a few examples to help me understand better. A week before my big day, I was still having problems controlling my clutch and accelerator although I have been to multiple revisions classes :”) Ryan consistently reminded me of how to properly control my footwork and have better control of my clutch and accelerator. He emphasised the seesaw method and because of how firm he was, his words stuck in my head and I managed to control my footwork well during my big day! Ryan also gave me words of encouragement before my test and was there to congratulate me after passing too! Thank you Ryan for your great tips and encouragement 🙂

I would like to express my gratitude to group, G8037 especially, Mr Ryan Tan (6439), Mr Wai CW (2220) and Mr Lim for helping me with my Class 3A practical lessons. Their consistency in most of their instructors is top notch. They are very patient, gave great tips, always have my best interest and pushes me to go further. And because of them, i managed to pass on my first attempt with 12 points. Thank you once again and I highly recommend this group to those who wishes to take Class 3A license. My best wishes to all instructors from G8037. Take care!

Thank you to Mr Raja (1983) and BBDC Customer Service for the great experience throughout my Class 3A journey. Their customer service counter is helpful, kind and always going the extra mile. To Mr Raja, I appreciate all your help and assisting me during that period. I highly recommend those who wishes to take their Motorcar license at BBDC.

Instructor Hanafi (6816) is patient, calm, and effective in his teaching.  He taught me Parallel Parking, and while it is a subject that many learners fear, I gain a lot of confidence under his tutelage. The subject is overwhelming, and Instructor Hanafi was patient in explaining to me the steps needed. He went the extra mile to write notes for me and go through with me what I can do better, so that I can go back and revise. While this may not seem like much, having an instructor who does something as simple as writing notes to show they care is impactful for learners. Afterall, instructors are just like teachers and teachers who are encouraging are those who make a difference in the skills of students.  He is also calm, and provided me with a safe environment to ask questions, no matter how many times I do so. I thoroughly appreciate being under his tutelage.

Having had Instructor Fairooz (6814) as my instructor for my first lesson is a blessing.  He is kind, and patient in answering the myriad of questions I had posed. I only wish I had gotten him for more lessons.  I wish Instructor Fairooz all the best!

Instructor Harith (6792) is patient, calm, and provides a conducive environment for me to grow and learn.  I appreciate that he is patient during my revision class, allowing me to try again my various pain points and giving me constructive advice on how to improve. He is friendly and patient with me.  I wish him all the best!

Instructor Ariffin (6815) is kind, patient, and effective in his teaching.  Lane changing and maintaining lane discipline are two subjects I initially struggled with. Under his guidance, I became more confident in these subjects. He also answers my questions with patience and advises me on how I can do better.  I appreciate being his learner and I wish him all the best!

Instructor Shah (6811) took me for Directional Change and my second last revision lesson. He helped me gain more confidence in my lane changing in fast traffic technique.  I thank him for his guidance and wish him all the best!

Instructor Izzat (6751) was the instructor who first took me out on the road.  In such a daunting lesson, he made it easier for me by lightening the mood and reassuring me that I would do okay. He also guided me in changing to higher gears while driving on the road. Subsequently, he also went through revision with me for my circuit courses and gave me advice on how to better my techniques in several of the courses.  I appreciate his help and wish him all the best!

Instructor Shukur (6809) is an asset to BBDC. He is a patient, kind, encouraging, and effective instructor.  Some exemplary points:
– He is very patient in allowing me to try again when I fail, and goes through various other methods to try to help me be better. While learning S-Course, I had initially struck and mounted the kerb numerous times. However, he kept encouraging and motivating me, painfully going through with me the different techniques I could try to improve.
– He pushes me to become an even better driver by being strict in marking me for missing blind spots and checking my mirror. I appreciate that he does it in a kind yet firm manner.
– He is very methodical – when teaching, he goes through with me step-by-step, making sure I understand what needs to be done. After which, when in the process of carrying it out, he is patient while I fail and encourages me to try again. He never puts me down or speaks to me in a manner that brings down my confidence.
– He is friendly, and allows for a conducive environment for me to learn, grow, and attain confidence.

I hope that he will be duly rewarded. Afterall, him and some other instructors in G6066 has made BBDC feels like home to me.

Instructor Fadhli (6822) is encouraging, patient, and effective in his teaching methods.  He taught me Vertical Parking – under his tutelage, I believe I honed the basic skills needed. He further taught me the abbreviation “SMB”, which stands for Signal, Mirror, and Blindspot. This abbreviation served to be very useful for me during my TP test, as I remembered all the steps I needed to carry out. He also went through with me over and over again to help me determine which sighting point is the best for me, and what to do should I need to carry out a correction. Also, he worked with me to hone my lane changing skills. He does not shy away from giving me feedback, and aims to be as constructive as possible so as to enhance my learning.

He is very encouraging, telling me that it is okay to fail and try again. He is also calm in his demeanor, thus providing a conducive and safe environment for me to ask questions without feeling afraid or embarrassed. Even when I fail, he motivated me to not give up and that I was capable should I have more practice. Instructors like him are essential to nurture good drivers.  I wish instructor Fadhli all the best!
