Our son just completed a few lessons and we were very pleased with the program. Leroy is an excellent instructor! We appreciated how he is very knowledgeable, patient, calm, encouraging, respectful, positive, and punctual. We’d highly recommend him. (06/02/2024)
Dear Bay Area Driving Academy,
I wanted to express my gratitude for the excellent Test Day Course experience I recently had with your driving school. Thanks to your program, I was able to successfully pass my behind-the-wheel driving test at the DMV.
I particularly want to extend my thanks to Instructor Leeroy, who made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel of the Honda Civic. Leeroy’s guidance and support throughout the course was great. From practicing curb side parking to mastering stop sign procedures and lane changing techniques, Leeroy’s thorough instruction truly boosted my confidence for the actual test. Leeroy was very friendly and also addressed all my doubts and queries very patiently. The short practice before the actual DMV drive test helped me a lot. Your website also offered clear information about the different courses, and booking the course was very easy.
While I had a fantastic overall experience, I had one suggestion. When I had a few urgent questions, I called the number listed on your website. However, I was directed to an automated voice system rather than being able to speak directly with a staff member. While I understand the efficiency of email communication, having the option to speak with a live person for urgent matters would be greatly beneficial.
Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Instructor Leeroy and the entire Bay Area Driving Academy team for their professionalism and dedication. (03/20/2024)
I worked with the company for a little over a month and was able to pass the exam! My main instructor was Forest – Leroy assisted me on my test day. They were both very nice and encouraging and I felt more confident about the exam. The post session assessments were extremely helpful for remembering what to work on. (2/26/2024)
I wanted to reach out and say thank you for the last three driving lessons I’ve taken with Leroy and Scott. Both of them were incredibly helpful and helped me work through a lot of the anxiety I had about being behind the wheel. (11/30/2023)
Just wanted to share Leroy did an excellent job with Mason. Mason liked his calm demeanor and he didn’t feel overwhelmed on his first lesson. Thanks! (11/28/2023)
