Academy Driving Instructor Forest
Instructor Forest joined the Bay Area Driving Academy team in early 2023 and has quickly become a highly recommended driving instructor. Forest teaches in our South Bay service area, of which she is a native – born and raised in San Jose. Her background in customer service has given her a great deal of patience and understanding, which she uses while instructing her clients/students. Because of her down-to-earth nature, Forest is very relatable to her students and great at making them feel comfortable behind the wheel.
Her students have left feedback describing her presence as very easy-going and light hearted; that she is very personable, reliable and extremely patient while instructing. Believe it or not, Forest was once afraid to drive herself. She was determined to overcome her fear and master her craft though, as she had big road trips planned with family and friends that necessitated driving skills. She loves to be able to share her wisdom and experience with new drivers and watch them gain confidence behind the wheel.
In her free time, Forest enjoys furthering her studies, in the science fields of Sociology and Psychology, as well as kicking back and playing Fall Guys and Zelda on her Switch gaming system. She also makes sure to drive her dog to get a pup cup every day. FUN FACT: Head Instructor Carrie was the one who first taught Forest how to drive many years ago!

RECENT REVIEWS for Driving Instructor Forest
I had my first driving lesson with Instructor Forest and it was great! I’ve never driven before but Forest helped make it really easy and was very helpful throughout the lesson.
Instructor Forest was excellent! I was a very nervous driver and she was very patient, helpful and she helped me feel confident. Her teaching style is kind and supportive. She was especially good at helping me face my fears through implementation and I’m really glad she was my instructor.
I would like to give a big shout out to Forest for being an amazing teacher. She was awesome!
I had a great experience at Bay Area Driving Academy and successfully passed my driving test on the first try! Learning to drive as an adult was quite daunting for me, especially with my tendency to get nervous, but the instructors at Bay Area Driving Academy made the process much more manageable.
Leroy, who I had most of my lessons with, was particularly outstanding. His calm and positive demeanor really helped to put me at ease and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. All of the instructors I worked with, including Forest, Clifton, and Scott, were knowledgeable, approachable, and had great attitudes.
I had also taken lessons with a couple of other driving schools (A-Z Driving and Advantage), but Bay Area Driving Academy stood out in terms of lesson structure, after-lesson feedback, instructor quality, up-to-date knowledge on road rules, and the convenience of online scheduling and appointment management. The only minor drawback was the need to schedule lessons a few weeks in advance due to limited appointment availability.
During the test, my examiner commented on how well I drove and even praised the driving school for the quality of instruction.
Thank you to everyone at Bay Area Driving Academy for helping me become a confident and safe driver!
Just a quick note that Jack passed his test today. Thanks to the team and especially his instructor Forest.
