Sandra is just excellent; she instructed me for the whole two hours. I would recommend her and BADA as they are flexible in adjusting the schedules. Sandra is a knowledgeable, patient, and experienced instructor. (9/12/2021)
My teenage daughter took all 3 classes with David he is awesome. My daughter said he was super patient and easy going, he gave her the confidence she needed to pass her driving test. (8/16/2021)
I had Sandra as an instructor and found her very unprofessional and took personal trips during the course. Midpoint she asked to drive to Oakridge mall and disappeared for 15 min and had me wait in the parking lot. During the course, She was spending time on her phone and not teaching or focusing on my driving. As if things couldn’t get any worse, Sandra ordered jamba juice on her phone and i had to drive her to pickup her drink at jamba juice blossom hill road. Car condition was terrible Wheel was sticky and not adjusted well. Seat did not adjust so my knees where touching the wheel. very unsafe.. Course was supposed no pre-test was instructed. Id give this lesson 0 starts but not able to record a review.
Armenia was great! She was very patient with me for all three lessons and gave a good mix of positive and constructive feedback. She didn’t make me feel nervous or uneasy, even if I made a mistake. Her tips were always very helpful, and I passed my driver’s test on the first try! (4/28/2021)
Carrie was my driving instructor, and serves as the CEO of the Bay Area Driving Academy. She is incredibly kind, compassionate, knowledgable, and professional. Before learning with Carrie I had no driving experience. Through only a few sessions with Carrie I had the tools I needed to comfortably pass the driving test at the Santa Clara DMV. Carrie is a particularly good instructor given her effective and clear communication (verbally and via emails), organization, and genuine dedication to her students. She is a pleasure to work with, and is highly recommended as a driving instructor. (4/25/2021)
