In my previous career, I worked in IT Infrastructure. In 2014, I decided to become a driving instructor to have a better work, life balance and enable me to spend quality time with my family. A lot of my learners and driving lessons revolve around the Carlton and Burwood VicRoads Test locations. I not only conduct lessons for new learners, but also for international conversions and also refresher lessons. Despite being able to drive both automatic and manual vehicles, I currently only teach in an automatic. Being a driving instructor allows me to meet different people from all walks of life. It is such a huge milestone when my students pass the driving test as it is always safety first when comes to driving on the roads. I am always pleased when I received positive feedback from my students. Some of my students become my friends long after the lessons are completed. We still keep in touch at times. I am super proud of my students with 98% passing the driving test the first time. My wife and I have 3 grown-up daughters who are working. Many of my siblings reside in Melbourne while my remaining relatives are in Singapore. We all catch up at least once or twice a year. In addition to speaking English, I am also fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese.
Very happy to highly recommend Sam as an instructor .... courteous, professional, happy to compliment your strengths & firmly point out your weaknesses. I was nervous and the hour drive I did with Sam before my test was the perfect preparation. He reinforced the need to slow down and take my time. The test itself was easy in comparison, and Sam didn't say a word. As soon as the tester went inside, Sam reassured me - "you did okay, only 2 mistakes, minor." I went inside & got my licence. Sam is a good guy .... (he really covers the practical tips you need to know - if you fail first time, try him out - he will get you there!!!!!)

Sam is a patient instructor. His teaching style suits me because I am the type of person who needs specific and direct instructions. Even if I made a mistake, he just kindly reminded me, which made me feel less nervous and more confident after some practice. And I passed my test in one goal!
