Student Reviews for Instructor David
Recent Reviews
I took all three teen driving lessons with David. He was super helpful, informative, easygoing, and an excellent driving instructor. He was also really fun to talk to which helped me to be a more relaxed driver. Plus, he made sure I was ready and confident for taking my driving test, and I passed first try thanks to him.
It was also very easy and straightforward when it came to scheduling driving times, but make sure to schedule early as appointments get booked pretty quickly.
Overall, I highly recommend David and Bay Area Driving Academy! (4/4/2021)
I am very happy and satisfied with the service I received from Bay Area and David. I had the Test Day Assist course. David was helpful and patient. I will recommend this to my friends. Thanks again! (3/13/2021)
I took a lesson and had a Test Day Assist course with David. He was awesome and super helpful. Without going too much into detail, if you’re not sure which instructor to go with, definitely choose David!
Booking the appointments was also super easy. People sometimes complain that you cannot reach driving schools by email or phone, and that’s true (my experience with 3 schools) because they get super busy, and I’ve found the texting responses of BADA to be very prompt. They also send text and email reminders of an upcoming appointment, which I found very helpful. (11/9/2020)
