Hassell was an amazing instructor. He helped take so much of the anxiety out of driving. I know now that even four years post brain injury, I’m fully capable of driving, and Hassell was able to teach me helpful, calming, and valuable tools. I recommend Instructor Hassel for anyone with high anxiety while driving! (8/29/2019)
My daughter absolutely LOVED Teresa and looked forward to every lesson she had with her. She learned so much and had “fun” at the same time — Thanks to Teresa she is now a capable, confident driver! Thank you Teresa & Bay Area Driving Academy! (8/19/2019)
I chose a custom-tailored course with BADA to improve my driving after moving here from the Midwest. I was very fortunate to have Armenia as my instructor. She was extremely patient and offered real-time feedback throughout the course. She was very observant and pointed out many areas I need improvements in. She shared a lot of practical tips on driving in the Bay Area. Her explanations helped me identify my bad habits and start forming good ones. In my opinion, this course was 100% worth the investment. Thanks! (8/6/2019)
Armenia is an amazing Instructor. I have had her for 2 lessons and I went from having no driving experience at all. I felt comfortable with her and she could always take control when necessary. She would pinpoint my mistakes and would tell me how to fix them and how to prevent the mistake. Armenia is all about accuracy. Her goal is to make everyone feel comfortable with driving and allow is to pass the test. It really helps that she is confident with being the instructor and she is very passionate about her job. She would always ask me questions to make sure I was scanning the road to find the speed limits and any other important information. I feel like I am prepared for my DMV test and I will be using her to prepare for it more. I was given good advice and I will be recommending her to all my friends who are in need of professional lessons! (7/29/2019)
Overall we were super happy with Hassell. He was professional, knowledgeable, and patient instructor. We appreciated his individual approach to helping our son. He thought outside the box came up with creative ways to teach our son how to drive and went above and beyond what we expected. We highly recommend Hassell to anyone and everybody. (7/27/2019)
