Drivewise Simcoe

Expérience fantastique: Drivewise is a fantastic school that taught me the proper rules of the road and helped me from beginning to end! HUGE thank you to my instructor rhonda who helped me feel more comfortable and confident in myself while being on the roads!

Expérience fantastique: Big thanks to Drivewise and their staff. Special thanks to Brian being a great instructor and for his patience .He gave my grandson Tyler the skills and confidence to pass his driving test first time. His lessons were very informative. We appreciated his encouragement which helped to over come his nervousness . I highly recommend this company M. Lowe

Expérience fantastique: Rhonda was the absolute best instructor I could’ve ever had!! I came into lessons extremely anxious, but her calming and fun personality helped me work through my driving anxiety and taught me in a way that made driving actually make sense for the first time in my life. She was also so amazing at accommodating my crazy schedule, and gives her full dedication and attention to each student. I am so grateful I got to have her teach me and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an instructor!

Expérience fantastique: This is a long review as this company deserves it, but short version: Rhonda is the most incredible driving instructor for any nervous drivers - no matter your age or experience level! Jim and Kristine are also extremely caring and accommodating. I had an absolutely incredible experience at Drivewise. From the initial contact with the company everything went so smoothly and I felt very well taken care of. Current owner Kristine was always prompt replying to emails and provided all the information needed. The online classes with Jim were excellent. He did his best to keep the class engaged and I could tell he genuinely cared about his students' success. What stood out the most to me was him taking the time to get to know his students' situations and recommending which in-car instructor would be the right fit for them. As a mature student who hadn't drive for over 12 years, partially due to anxiety caused by an intimidating instructor I had when I was 16, having the right instructor this time around was my highest priority. And did Jim ever get it right when he advised me to do my lessons with Rhonda. Rhonda was the definition of patient, kind, and comforting. She gave me time to get to know her before getting me behind the wheel, so there was no awkwardness and it eased a lot of my fears. She was able to find the perfect balance between building my confidence and slowly introducing new challenges. She always said she would never put me in a situation she didn't think I was able to handle, and that was absolutely true. Even after my first lesson, my husband could not believe the difference he saw in me. I went from being someone who felt nauseous at the thought of driving, to volunteering to drive everywhere we went within 2 or 3 lessons. I put off drivers Ed out of fear for a very long time, but after meeting Rhonda I looked forward to each lesson - I never expected it to be such an enjoyable experience. With her incredible support I was able to pass my G1 exit test (G2 road test) on my first ever try, even when faced with an examiner that brought up a lot of my past anxiety. I will be forever grateful for her being in my corner and helping me achieve this new level of freedom in my life!

Expérience négative: I have been waiting 2 years for someone to drive with me! It’s ridiculous, don’t go here

Expérience fantastique: Kristine and her team are fantastic and professional. They really do everything they can to support their students to ensure their success in the program! Highly recommend them to anyone learning to drive or having to do a refresher!

Expérience fantastique: Honest, good owners that are truly passionate about PROPERLY teaching students how to drive. In an age where most driving schools are just there to phone it in, Kristine and Zach are true car people who know the rules of the road extremely well. Vehicles are all good quality and maintained to a high standard. This is the place to send all newbies to learn how to handle the Canadian roads!

Expérience fantastique: Wow is all I have to say def recommend this company everyone was amazing the driving instructor. Emily is fantastic.

Expérience fantastique: Kristine instructed the in class lessons and was very informative and friendly. Rhonda provided my in car lessons and was very easy to get along with. She was a good instructor and taught me what I need to know to be a good driver. Excellent service all the way around!

Expérience fantastique: Thank you to Rhonda. Her calm,patient and friendly teaching helped my grandson over his nerves and made his driving experience smooth and got him a win on first test

Expérience fantastique: Excellent driving school, highly recommended. I would like to thank Diane and Kristine. Theoretical on-line classes during covid were great, shared valuable learnings and personal driving experiences, keeping student engaged. In car driving lessons with Rhonda were excellent, thank you Rhonda for being punctual, supportive, and encouraging.

Expérience fantastique: My son had a fantastic experience with Drivewise. From the online and in class lessons to the driving instructor, Rhonda. Rhonda was very patient and a great communicator. Explaining everything to Jack and complementing as they went along. He felt very comfortable driving with Rhonda. She was very personable and professional. Rhonda was accommodating with times and pickups. He would definitely recommend Drivewise and Rhonda as an instructor. We are happy to report, Jack passed his driving test the first time out! Thank you Rhonda

Expérience fantastique: Kristine is an absolute gem , she helped my sister who was not a confident driver at all. Patience is key when it comes to learning something like this and a lot of people benefit from it. Keep doing what you are doing Kristine you sure are great at it !

Expérience fantastique: My girlfriend had Kristine for in car refresher lessons to get more skill behind the wheel before taking her G test , although she was hesitant at first, Kristine guided her through and left no doubts in her mind that she was going to pass her G test with flying colours! Thanks to everyone at Drivewise, such an incredible experience!!

Expérience fantastique: The Instructors at Drivewise were very informative and knowledgeable in the rules of the road. They are very pleasant to deal with. I also found out that they have just recently changed ownership, I am unsure of previous owners but I can say going forward they will continuously provide the best experience for new drivers.

Expérience positive: Diane and her team worked hard through the covid months to get our daughters classes done as quickly as possible. The delay was understandable, however Diane kept in touch and we know she did her best to get things done as quickly as she humanly could. Mike was an exceptional instructor. He was personable, reliable and worked hard to accommodate our daughters schedule. He went above and beyond what was necessary and it was very much appreciated.

Expérience négative: Very rude people here

Expérience positive: After having a difficult experience with one of the driving instructors (it was near impossible to book in car time) I was contacted by the owner of the establishment to see if our situation could be rectified! After explaining the issues we were having to Jim he swiftly scheduled our in car sessions for the vary next day with a different instructor. Thank you Jim!

Expérience fantastique: My wife had about 2 1/2 months to get her G license before its expiry date in September. Jim from Drivewise was able to just barely fit her in for a refresher course before the test. He ended up being unable to do the three in car lessons but was able to get another instructor named Roy to do it. Roy was able to refresh the skills my wife needed at the last minute to pass the road test. I would definitely go to Drivewise again. Thanks Jim and Roy.
