I had an amazing experience learning with North Simcoe Driving School in Barrie. Instructor Saqib was patient, professional, and explained everything clearly, especially while practicing on Bayfield Street and Livingstone Street East, where traffic can get busy. His calm teaching style helped me build confidence quickly, and I passed my G2 road test on the first try. If you are looking for a reliable driving school in Barrie that focuses on safe driving and real road driving experience, I highly recommend them.

Learning to drive felt stressful at first, but instructor Sam made the entire process comfortable and easy to understand. We practiced a lot around Mapleview Drive West and Huronia Road, which helped me learn lane changes, intersections observation, and defensive driving skills. North Simcoe Driving School truly stands out as a professional driving school in Barrie. Sam’s step-by-step teaching method made a huge difference, and I now feel confident driving independently.

Big thanks to North Simcoe Driving School! I took my lessons with Saqib and he was so patient with me. We started practicing in quieter areas near Ardagh Road and Mapleview Drive West, and slowly moved up to the busy Bayfield Street and Cundles Road intersection. He even helped me prepare around Innisdale Secondary School during the morning rush hour. I passed my G2 on the first try!

Sam is the best driving instructor in Barrie. He picked me up right from my house near Eastview Secondary School and we did so much practice around Duckworth Street and Georgian Drive. The way he explained lane changes on Highway 400 at Mapleview Drive finally made everything easy. Huge thanks to North Simcoe Driving School for the professional service!

I am from Ukraine. I am currently lived in the city of Innisfil. I was very nervous about driving in Canada. Mahmood at North Simcoe Driving School made me feel so comfortable. He understood my situation as a new immigrant and explained every road sign clearly. We practiced near Nantyr Shores Secondary School and along Innisfil Beach Road. Today I drive every day to work — thank you so much, worth every penny!

I am a Filipino and new to Canada, finding the right driving school was so important. Saqib was recommended to me by my friend. He trained me around Bear Creek Secondary School and the tricky Five Points intersection in downtown Barrie. He even prepared me for parallel parking near Dunlop Street. North Simcoe Driving School is absolutely the high rated Driving Institute in Barrie. Highly recommended!

I lived in Midhurst, I wanted an instructor who knew the rural roads as well as the city. Saqib was perfect. We practiced on Doran Road near Forest Hill Public School, then moved into Barrie via Bayfield Street. He prepared me for everything such as: winter driving, general city driving and highway merging. North Simcoe Driving School truly cares about their students.

I'm from Ghana and was new to Canada's winter driving.

As a newcomer from Russia, everything was new to me, and I had a limited budget for driving lessons. I contacted North Simcoe Driving School, and my instructor, Mahmood, guided me through everything step by step with patience and professionalism. We practiced on the busy Highway 400 southbound and the Dunlop Street ramps, as well as school-zone driving around Eastview Secondary School. I truly appreciated being treated with kindness and respect throughout my training. North Simcoe Driving School provided excellent service, and I highly recommend them.

My family lives in Midhurst and I needed a driving instructor willing to come out here. Saqib showed up right on time every lesson. We started on quiet streets near Forest Hill Public School on Doran Road, then slowly moving towards the Bayfield Street. He even let me drive to Innisfil through highway for high speed experience. North Simcoe Driving School the best.

I came to Canada from Ukraine with my children and needed to drive to take them to school. Mahmood at North Simcoe Driving School was so understanding.

Yo, Sam is a real one! Taught me everything I needed for my G2. We did downtown driving around the Five Points intersection at Dunlop, Bayfield, Clapperton and Owen Street — that place is wild. Also practiced near Eastview Secondary School and Georgian College. North Simcoe Driving School got the best instructors in Barrie, no cap!

Saqib bhai is the most wonderful driving instructor. My family moved to Barrie from Gujarat, India and I had never driven before in my life. He started me very slowly on quiet streets near Ardagh Road, then we built up to Essa Road and Highway 400. He also took me to do practice runs near Innisdale Secondary School. North Simcoe Driving School is pure quality!

I needed driving lessons that covered Midhurst, Barrie and Innisfil because I drive everywhere for work. Mahmood was the perfect choice. We covered country roads around Carson Road and Bayfield Street North close to Grove Street East, busy city driving past St. Peter's Catholic Secondary School in Barrie, and even did a route through Innisfil Beach Road. North Simcoe Driving School truly serves all of Simcoe County. Merci beaucoup!
