Sandra Wood

Sandra Joined the First Route Driving School team in 2022.

Sandra has 12 years experience as a Drivetest Examiner, working in St. Catharines, Niagara and Hamilton both at the desk as well as conducting G2/G class driving tests.

Wanting to teach and help students have a greater understanding of the HTA road rules and why they are important for everyones safety on the road, Sandra made the switch to Driving Instruction.

“I’m a people person and enjoy meeting all kinds of new people.

I have experience dealing with seniors, new comers to Canada and drivers with test anxiety.

I also believe that your driving lessons should be a great memorable experience and I’m confident you will have that with me.”

Hello, I had the pleasure of having Sandra from first route as my driving instructor! So kind and patient and made sure i was 100% prepared for my test! I wouldn’t have passed without all of her knowledge and help 🙂 This was truly a wonderful and surprisingly stressless experience, genuinely such a pleasure!!!!

What a wonderful person she is. My son as nothing but good things to say about Sandra, how kind and knowledgeable she is. Thanks to her skill and knowledge my son was able to get ready for his G2 and successfully pass thanks to her. She takes her time to explain things and the importance of everything. Once again thank you for doing what you do.

I'm Amanda and Sandra was my driving instructor. She was very nice , and did her best to explain everything to me. I'm a very nervous driver and in no time She helped me built my confidence; before I even realize I was doing way better than I would've ever imagined...

Training is very good, car for train and exam is less than one years and many options, the instructor is very polite, kind and professional. Fee for train and rent car is cheapest in Niagara region. She speak slowly and clear. I strongly recommend her for train and rent.
