last time before i joined bbdc i tried private... but the instructor always brought me to tuas and drive around. Then he juz hold on to my wheel all the way...
So i went to join the sch.. i learnt more from there. Like using engine brakes, judging the width of the car etc. Once i got no time to put money into my bbdc account so i called up my private instructor so a lesson. During the lesson when i applied engine brake before coming to a stop at a traffic light, he slapped my hand and ask me what im doing... i was like wtf!
Den from that say onwards i took all my lessons back in bbdc. But it took me 3 times to pass

...
My opinion is that private can be very cheap.. but its better to pass ur advance theory first and find one who takes u on the actual test routes during lessons. If not, very difficult to pass.
