Our Instructors
Steven Hyde - CDL Instructor
“I have a diverse background in many different fields. In all of the various jobs I have done, I eventually end up training in one form or another. I now have 8 years driving experience, with two of them being an OTR driver trainer. Now I am here to share my experience and skills with the next generation of drivers.”
Joan Fisher - Car Instructor
“I started my professional driving career working as a school bus driver in 2000 for over 17 years at Victor schools. Once I retired I realized how much I missed working with people and decided to work at Canandaigua Driving School and absolutely Love it! I look forward to helping people achieve their goals!”
Emily Hinman - Car Instructor
“While I have only been an instructor with Canandaigua Driving school for about a year, teaching has always been a passion of mine. The gratification of seeing how excited my students are when they perfect a maneuver brings me so much joy. I tend to bring a laid back and relaxed feel to my teaching to hopefully make the experience for the student an enjoyable one”
