Driving Instructor

I’m Andrea Gunther, originally from Germany and now proud to call Canada home. My love for driving started on the Autobahn, and I’ve brought that passion to my role as a driving instructor. With extensive experience driving everything from school buses to Greyhound coaches, I’ve developed a deep understanding of road safety.

As a government-licensed MELT trainer and former driving examiner, I’m committed to helping students of all ages master the skills they need to drive safely. At DriveWise, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and hitting the highway with my students. When I’m not teaching, I run a mobile bakery with my husband, bringing a taste of Germany to BC.
