I highly recommend Drivewise for anyone learning how to drive. Their response time is very fast and any issues I had when I first registered were solved immediately. My driving instructor was Colin and he did an amazing job in teaching me how to drive. He was very patient and explained things in detail, correcting any mistakes I made so I wouldn’t do them again. He was very nice and went as far as picking me up from my new location after there had been a mix up instead of canceling my final class which I am forever grateful for. 10/10 would recommend. :)

Drivewise definitely played an integral role in me passing my g2 test. Colin was an excellent instructor. He was patient and explained the rules of the road and driving tips well. He was also supportive. As someone who has been in a bad accident before, I needed that kind of calming, yet informed and authoritative presence in the car instructing me. 10/10 would recommend.

I took driving lessons at Drivewise. My instructor, Colin Wakewich, was an amazing teacher. He is a true professional who cares that you do well, and is very patient and kind. He listens to your questions and patiently takes the time to answer them so that he is sure you understand. He is always on time (so you don't feel rushed). He is a very skilled instructor and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a positive teachings style and learning experience. He gets a 5 star rating from me.

I had a pretty terrible experience with a driving instructor named Kat. I brushed it off at first until a friend was shocked to learn he still worked there. She told me about her experience & how he received several complaints and was supposed to be reprimanded/dismissed. I felt super uncomfortable the entire lesson. He made widly unprofessional comments and over-shared his personal beliefs/opinions making it difficult to focus on the lesson & practice for my test. I definitely felt like I didn't get my money's worth. I emailed DriveWise and told them about my experience and concerns about this driving instructor especially working with new and young drivers. They never acknowledged or responded to my email. I've been telling people to not to use DriveWise.

I was going to take the courses in Dec, paid to hold the seat and all. I called to reschedule as I had a loss in the family and a month later I called in to reschedule because I didn't have a sitter as paid my 400+ seat to hold and they wanted another 400+ to hold my seat.... I think the rescheduling fee was ridiculous to me.... They should have had 60 or 80 dollar rescheduling fee instead for the second time..i like the facility, it's just the fee...

it was definitely the best option for me to learn my driving skills. it was very fun and when I asked a question, I never felt shamed for asking it. I would 100% recommend to do drive wise.

Drivewise was good for the class in the building and for the driving simulator but when i went for in person car lessons i was nervous with the instructor kat. He was very strange and he would talk about eating animals like dogs, cats , horses etc and also when I accidentally made a mistake he would get very mad at me and it obviously made me upset well driving which is very dangerous well driving as im a beginner driver. Also, when I would pass a school he would say “don’t hit a kid on purpose” and one time when I went pass a french school called La Verendrye i hit a bump and he said “ oh you just ran over a french kids head”.

Hmm, where to begin? I had Terry as my driving /rehab instructor. I did 2 sets of 10 lessons.Being rehab, the instructor had the challenge of working with my deficits and creating specific challenges that would help me not only drive according to the mto rules, but to also to develop the skills that I lost, do an accident resulting in a medical suspension. On top of that, to work through situations that were anxiety provoking. It was quite the challenge for Terry I am sure.My review is 5 stars because that is the max, I’d give 10+ if I could. Obviously he has been around for a long time and he knows his stuff, and because of that he was able to individualize each and every one of my lessons, push me a little further when needed and work within my limits, a delicate balance that he was very tuned into. I quickly picked up that he was not here just to get me through the hour, but that he cared about “putting out” safe drivers. He care about the safety of all drivers, and I say this because I experience it first hand. He also had no problem speaking up for me when a driver on the street, in a different vehicle, challenged my parking knowledge. He got out of the car and explained to the other driver that I was parked correctly and showed him the parking sign to back it up. At first I was a bit rattled and thrown off because I thought I was creating unsafe situation for other drivers( based on what this person was yelling about). Would I recommend Drivewise …. Absolutely.If you are an anxious driver, a driver who needs just a few tune ups and everything in between, they have you covered. If you are looking to just learn the route to pass the test, you will be disappointed, because their heart is teaching you how to drive and to drive safely, and if you learn to drive properly you can drive on all the roads. You will be safer and create a safer environment for other drivers too.
