Meet Your Instructor
Hi, my name is Tim Poste. I'm an ICBC‑certified driving instructor and founder of Boundary Driving School. I've been driving safely since receiving my license in 1989 and have spent years on Boundary Country roads. I understand the real‑world conditions you’ll face in Grand Forks and beyond. I offer a calm, patient teaching style to help ease nerves and build real confidence behind the wheel. Every lesson is one‑on‑one and tailored to your pace, so you can focus on what you need most—learning safe, smart driving habits that last a lifetime. More...
Testimonials
Michaela P.
"I highly recommend Boundary Driving School! Tim is an excellent instructor—patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He explains everything clearly, helps build confidence behind the wheel, and makes learning to drive a positive experience. His expertise and calm approach make every lesson valuable.
​
My son thoroughly enjoyed his lessons with Tim and, thanks to his excellent instruction, passed his driving test on his first try! We couldn't be happier with the experience. If you're looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your success and safety, Boundary Driving School is an outstanding choice."
Callum H.
"Tim was great, he was approachable, easy to talk to when something was confusing or not quite clicking. Very patient and calm. The car was always spotless and very well kept. He even went out of his way to look up the map in Castlegar to see where they might take us on the road test, to give us a heads up about any traffic manoeuvres that aren’t found locally in Grand Forks."
Knighton M.
"Tim Poste is an exceptional teacher. Patient and clear, he was able to teach me how to do several maneuvers that I would never have had the confidence to attempt on my own. He not only explains the basics and how to pass the test, but also goes above and beyond and teaches you things that will remain relevant for the rest of your driving career. I would highly recommend!"

"I'd recommend Tim to anyone learning to drive. I probably wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for these lessons with him."Â Â

"Thank you Tim. It’s been weird not having a lesson since I passed the text. Thanks to you I no longer have to ‘drive like an L’ and now I can do it like an N driver!"
