It’s common sense to many people that the main benefit of learning driving with a private instructor is the lower cost: but to be honest, other than that, there’s no other benefit.

But of course, learning how to drive is just the very first step: getting a car is the more difficult step. Just watch this video to the end and you’ll understand:

In fact, learning from a private instructor can be more expensive for some people! And what are the benefits of learning from driving schools then? Well, here’re the ten benefits you might not know.

You can make mistakes without being scolded by the instructor

Since the car belongs to the school, and the instructor won’t feel the pain if you mistreat the car, stalling your car many times and mounting kerbs like nobody’s business won’t lead to a series of verbal abuses by your instructor. They’ll still patiently guide you. Some even show you the “feel” of the mistakes so that you won’t repeat them during the test!

You might have young instructors who are eye-candy

Let’s face it: between attending a lesson with an old man with a big belly and a young hunk, which one would you prefer? Private driving instructors are usually uncles, while you can meet all sorts of instructors in driving schools.

School has a lesson plan and is systematic

While some private instructors have a system as well, some of them just sleep through the lessons. Here’s one thing we can be sure of: your tester isn’t going to sleep as you go through the test. So make your decision wisely.

If you kena a bad private instructor, it’s GG

You’ll be with him for all your lessons, no matter how much you hate him. In driving schools, you’re usually with different instructors, so you can be sure that if you hate one, you won’t kana him again (hopefully).

In school, you get to practice as much as you want in the circuit that you’ll be tested on

Whereas for private instructors, you practice in a car park that is completely different from the test circuit.

You get to hear different stories from different instructors in driving school

Different instructors have different teaching methods, and different life stories. You get to know more about different instructors’ life in a driving school (some instructors purposely talk to you about irreverent things to condition you to drive while talking) while for private instructors…it’s the same story again and again or just snores.

You can book your practice slots, or cancel them, easier

Everything is done with a click of the mouse—whereas, for private instructors, you usually have to face some scolding before you can cancel any slot…if you managed to.

You won’t need to be in a car that stinks

Some private instructors smoke in the car, and when you get into the car, you’re coughing more than you’re driving. And when you’re out of the car, your friends might just think that you’ve picked up smoking.

It might be cheaper

If you’re really good, you can clear a few stages in a lesson. And if you’re really so good, it could even be cheaper than private instructors, who might be out there to squeeze as much cash as possible from you.

Good private instructors are often fully booked

And what are you left with? Private instructors whom you found online—those that are not vetted or reviewed by your friends. The good ones are either fully booked or retired.
