Question 1

Does Suriya work for private driving instructors (PDIs) as well as driving schools in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Suriya works for individual private driving instructors managing their own student roster as well as small driving schools with multiple instructors. For PDIs, Suriya replaces the WhatsApp booking system and paper lesson records. For schools, it provides a multi-instructor view so the school admin can see all instructors' capacity and student progress in one place.

Question 2

How does skill progress tracking work for Singapore's TP test syllabus?

Accepted Answer

You define the skill categories that matter for your teaching (e.g., circuit manoeuvres, road lessons, emergency braking, expressway merging, parking). After each lesson, log a quick assessment per skill area. Students can view their progress summary before each lesson. When you're ready to mark a student as test-ready for the TP practical, you can generate a readiness summary showing all skills as 'test-ready'.

Question 3

How do lesson packages work in Suriya?

Accepted Answer

Create packages at your desired lesson count and price — 5-lesson, 10-lesson, full-course. Students purchase the package via a PayNow link. Each attended lesson deducts from their balance. When a student has 2 lessons remaining, they receive a low-balance notification with a recharge link. Package students pre-commit, show up more consistently, and refer more friends than per-lesson students.

Question 4

How do test booking reminders work for BTT, FTT, and TP?

Accepted Answer

You set the lesson count threshold for each test eligibility in Suriya. When a student crosses the threshold (e.g., 5 lessons → BTT eligible), they receive a WhatsApp message with the test booking link (oneexam.com) and a note on what to bring. For TP practical test, the reminder fires when you manually mark all required skills as test-ready. This nudge significantly reduces the dropout rate at each stage of the licensing process.

Question 5

What does S$13/month include for driving instructors?

Accepted Answer

S$13/month includes unlimited students and lesson bookings, skill progress tracking, PayNow lesson fee collection, lesson package management, automated test reminders, multi-instructor scheduling (for schools), and revenue reporting.
