A Japanese driving instructor

This is a complaint about a male instructor at a Japanese driving school in the LA area. I was looking for a driving school in California to get a driver's license, so I searched for one through Vivinavi and took it, but the instructor's arrogant and overbearing attitude from start to finish made me feel very bad. The instructor kept saying things that had nothing to do with the lesson, such as "Oh ！ you would have failed the test if you were like that ！". It was especially unpleasant because we were in a closed room. I regret that I paid for 5 lessons from the beginning. I feel ashamed of myself for having applied for the lessons because I felt comfortable doing so because I was Japanese and could speak Japanese. If anyone reads this, I recommend that you take the first lesson as a trial and check the instructor's human nature before applying for the program so that you will not have a bad experience like I did.

I had a similar experience with a Korean, Japanese-speaking instructor
who signed me up.
I took the course three times. On the first day, I was taught from the position to hold the steering wheel, and after that, the instructor didn't even let me drive the car
on his side ､
I had to brake on my own (since it was a training car, there were brakes and gas pedals on both sides. \He said you need more practice and cancelled the test twice, and the third time he said it was still no good and cancelled the test again and asked me to practice more
I have no more money to pay you ！. You won't even let me drive for you ！ and you're just screwing with me because you want money I told him no, I'll ask my friend to go to the test by myself.
I ended up paying him once ＄ 80 or so, and three times ＄ over 200, and it was like I was throwing money down the drain.
His Japanese is also very subtle with a Korean accent
I don't know if he's saying "change" or "flat".
He was so superior to me and I was paying for the service.
It was really bad!

！ "Oh ！ you would have failed this exam

wouldn't you be thankful?" If you can tell me what's wrong with me.
Especially since driving a car can lead to accidents if you are not careful
Driving properly can be very dangerous.

> I was very offended by the arrogant and overbearing attitude throughout.

So, I guess I didn't appreciate the words

>

"Oh ！ you would have failed the exam if you did that ！".
If it had been just those words, I would have been grateful because I would have known right then and there what I had done to fail the exam.

Well, in a job like this, you have to watch who you are dealing with and be careful with your words.
Some people prefer friendly, while others prefer firm and respectful language.

I had a friendly, joking instructor who made me feel comfortable and relaxed. but if the way he says it is intimidating or kind, it can feel intimidating even if he says the same thing. But it's easy to get a license in the U.S. without taking the trouble to take a course ？.

"Ah ！ You would have failed the exam if you were like that ！" ？

It's normal, isn't it?

The tip is as small as a dollar, but there are so many Japanese who have the superior attitude that the customer is God. It is shameful.

Don't do business with Japanese people
This is common sense among Japanese who run their own business in the U.S.

People who rely on others all the time and don't have the independence to work and earn on their own are a pain in the ass to hang out with.

It may be difficult to convey the arrogant and overbearing attitude that Topix received just by looking at the text, but
I personally don't think that this is behavior from an instructor who is in the business of doing business, so to speak.

Some people say this is normal by world standards, but I don't think
the minimum level of customer service was provided by world standards.

Tipping for training may also vary from Driving School to Driving School, but I think the basic rule is Not required or expected.
If you still insist on the tip, you should set it as a service charge and inform the students
when they enter the school.

Also, I understand your opinion that it is good that they point out what is wrong, but I think the point is （ the way they say it ） including their attitude.

In America, the customer is not God, right?
If you complain about something, they get upset, and employees are not afraid to talk to customers during working hours
.
I see this a lot.

I think Japan is great in many ways.

Why don't you make money by moving your own body, but you try to make easy money by relying on someone else, and that's how you get into trouble.

By the way, are they licensed by the city to operate there ？ maybe they're just a bunch of pirates
report them to the city or ask for your money back.

I can't really say anything about this unless I was there and saw the practice.
If the level of the topi is a very beginner, the instructor may be dismayed and lose his temper ？ ？
In my case, it is already a long time ago, but I have no driving experience in Japan
and I did not go to school.
In the U.S., I had to ask my husband to teach me out of necessity.
The barrage of cursing and yelling drove me mad, so I said, "Enough ！" and stopped learning from him.
Without telling him, I secretly used his car in the middle of the night to practice driving independently in a large open lot.
The first DMV test I took, I got a flat "No, you need more practice !
Then he practiced again and passed his second test with a "Very Good !" Then I practiced hard again and passed the second test with a "Very Good !
I also helped a woman in her early 40's practice driving and she never wanted to do it again
Her husband was not allowed to teach her to drive.
For the first time in my life, I've been on the road for the first time in my life, with horns honking all over the place, a near-miss. I was so stunned.
For example, when it was possible to make a right turn (even at a red light), she should have moved forward a little to check for cars coming from the left, but she didn't move forward and waited slowly. I guess she was just nervous and different from usual. I think that my experience of commuting to school by bicycle, which most boys do when I was in junior high school, for 30 minutes each way, even on rainy days ☂
️and windy days, for 3 years, helped me in a way to drive a car as well.

That was my thought too. It's possible that the permit has not been issued.

Even in Japan, many car instructors are pompous, uptight, and have a bad attitude. The manager of the store where I worked part-time had a wife and child but didn't have a car license.
It wasn't like he was so poor that he couldn't afford a car, but later I heard that he had a fight with the instructor at the driving school and decided not to get a license.　I guess he thinks he's a paying customer and that's what keeps you guys fed.
Well, that's true, but if they thought we were paying them to teach us properly, they might not even fight with us.

When you get back to where you left off after the road test
the examiner says （ that's why you didn't pass ） as you're getting off
it's more useful to have the instructor warn you while you're driving than to think huh, why?
