RECENT REVIEWS for Head Instructor Carrie
I really enjoy driving with my instructor Carrie. After 3 classes of behind the wheel driving, now I feel much more comfortable and confident to drive here. I always worried about making mistakes. Carrie helps me had less mistakes and even I made one, she would let know how to avoid next time and the way she said is not making student stressful at all. The final lesson I felt I’m a real “driver” who is not that nervous and even can chat with my “passenger”. Woo hoo. And I’d also like to thank Jimmy too. Jimmy replied to all my questions in a very professional & efficient way and made the whole reservation process super smooth. And even if you are a non-native speaker, you will still feel comfortable with Carrie.
Update: I drove from Menlo Park to Half Moon Bay last Friday and I enjoy it a lot,haha~ 10/6/2016
Had just relocated to Cali and signed up for a refresher course. Carrie was very helpful and had lots of tips to offer about preparing for the road test. 10/5/2016
Carrie was highly recommended by friends so we made the appointments with her. I had 4 and all were great. She is super friendly, professional, and easy-going. A very calming person to have in the passenger seat, and a great instructor. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs lessons!
Plus, I’m now a licensed driver!
Thanks Carrie!! 9/1/2016
After taking 5 lessons from this academy and passing my driver’s license exam on the first try, I can safely say that Bay Area Driving is the best at preparing you for your behind the wheel test. Carrie, my instructor, taught me specifically what the examiners were looking for and what was going to be on the test. She was clear on directions, never hesitant abf her inatructions were straightfoward and easy to understand. The conversations we had made driving far more enjoyable as well. Bay Area Academy Driving is definately worthy of five stars 8/9/2016
I did the majority of my driving with Carrie when I had my permit. She really made me feel comfortable during the lesson and I was confident in my ability to drive at all times, because of her. I always had a good time on my lessons because Carrie never yelled, always offered constructive criticism when needed, and offered up topics of conversation to pass the long two hour lessons. Overall, I do not regret spending any money or time by committing to the Bay Area Driving Academy. 7/25/2016
