How Drivewise Newmarket Stands Out

DriveWise Newmarket combines nationally respected training with revolutionary tools and modern teaching methods. From immersive game show-style classrooms to high-tech driving simulation labs and one-on-one hands-on in-car instruction, we offer a one-of-a-kind learning experience that prepares you for real-world driving.

“Just Pass the Test” Isn’t Enough for Us

At DriveWise Newmarket, we don’t just teach how to pass the MTO tests. Our instructors embody the values that shape responsible, skilled, and empowered drivers. Every team member is chosen not just for certifications, but for their passion for safety, commitment to professionalism, and ability to teach with patience, positivity, and clear communication.

WHY

Why Students Choose DriveWise Newmarket

Z

Interactive Classroom Learning

Each student uses a numbered remote to answer live quizzes in real time, making learning fun, engaging, and effective. We reinforce driving theory through case studies, group discussions, and game-based activities that promote deeper thinking and better recall.

Z

State-of-the-Art Driving Simulator

Students train in driving simulated conditions that would be too risky or impractical to recreate in real life, from icy roads to emergency maneuvers. Instructors guide scenario replays to help students reflect, improve, and build confidence.

Z

Flexible Online Learning

Online modules offer a convenient way to review theory and build decision-making skills at your own pace, from any device—a perfect complement to in-class or in-vehicle instruction.

Z

1-on-1 In-Vehicle Sessions

Private driving lessons are fully personalized and conducted by experienced instructors in insured, safety-inspected vehicles. Every session is designed to support individual growth and build strong road habits.

ADVANTAGES

The DriveWise Advantage

DriveWise’s blended learning approach sets us apart from all other driving schools. The use of simulation allows our instructors to coach young drivers through situations that simply cannot be duplicated in a vehicle. Here are some examples of what this approach can teach that in-vehicle and classroom teaching alone cannot:
