Driving Instructor

Andy Farintosh is a driving instructor dedicated to helping his students become safe, confident drivers. After moving to Victoria from Toronto in 1997, he embraced Vancouver Island as his permanent home.

With a background in telecom, he has honed his skills in client service and management, which he now applies to his teaching approach.

His goal is to ensure every student leaves his lessons feeling prepared for the road ahead.

"I can’t rave enough about Andy at Drivewise. He did all the lessons with my daughter and she turned into a safe, confident driver who passed easily on her first try. She enjoyed his company and he put her at ease. I appreciated that I didn’t have to drive with her! Best money I ever spent. Thank you for your professionalism and supportive manner with my daughter, Andy."
