Meet Shirley
Founder & Head Instructor
For over two decades, Shirley has dedicated her career to teaching safe and confident driving. As the founder of DriveTreck Driving Academy, she personally helped design and establish the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) defensive-driving curriculum in collaboration with ICBC, setting the foundation for how new drivers across B.C. learn today.
Her expertise and passion for road safety have earned recognition from Vancouver School Board Trustees, where she continues to lead youth-focused safety initiatives through the Road Safety Ambassador Program.

Our Mission & Core Values

Recognitions & Partnerships
Trusted by Institutions Across Metro Vancouver
DriveTreck Driving Academy is officially registered as an ICBC GLP-approved school and recognized by Vancouver School Board Trustees for leadership in youth driver education. We proudly train candidates for Class 4 Unrestricted licensing in partnership with organizations including VPD, RCMP, and more.
Our Instructors
At DriveTreck, every instructor is personally selected, trained, and mentored by our founder, Shirley — ensuring that each one reflects the academy’s values of patience, professionalism, and precision. Our team represents decades of combined experience across all types of driving, from new learners to advanced Class 4 training.
Each instructor undergoes continuous evaluation and refresher programs designed by Shirley herself, so our teaching methods always align with ICBC standards and modern defensive-driving principles. This means every student learns from an instructor who not only knows how to teach but knows how to bring out confidence in every situation — city traffic, parallel parking, or the high-pressure moments of a road test.
Beyond skill, our instructors are chosen for their empathy and communication. They understand that every student learns differently, and they adapt lessons with patience and encouragement. The result is a calm, constructive learning environment that helps students feel capable and prepared from their first lesson to their final test.
— Shirley, Founder & Lead Instructor
