I hired Bay Area Driving Academy for 3-two hour courses for my elderly father for a safety and refresher course. The staff was very responsive and understanding of our needs. Carrie is an amazing instructor, very knowledgable of the driving code, clear and calm instructions. She provided good feedback to my father to correct bad habits from 63 years of driving. I feel better knowing that his driving was evaluated by an independent instructor. He passed his senior driving test easily.

I highly recommend this company. 1/23/2018

I started driving later in life, and have had some trouble trying to find a driving school that could help me since I do have a disability. I had three 2-hour lessons with Carrie, and she was able to calm my anxiety and nervousness about driving, since I never really drove before. My last lesson was a refresher course before my driving test with Luis. Luis and Carrie are great instructors who are not only patient, but personable and friendly. I want to thank the BADA team for all their help because not only was I able to get appointments set up easily, but I was able to become confident in my driving ability and pass my test on the first try. 1/3/2018

Carrie and her team are incredible. All 3 of my kids and their 2 cousins worked with Carrie and a few of her team members, and all 5 kids passed the driving test on the first try! Carrie is relaxed, a very good teacher, and made it extremely easy for us to get appointments that worked with my kids’ busy schedules. She took them on different routes and created a calm driving environment in which the students were not overly stressed and were able to actually process what it was that they were learning. We were all extremely satisfied with our experiences with the Bay Area Driving Academy, and HIGHLY recommend Carrie and her team to anyone looking for a great experience with a driving instructor team!! 12/31/2017

I took couple of hours driving lessons from Teresa and Carrie. Both instructors were too good. They really helped me a lot to clear my test in the first go itself. Instructors were very professional, punctual and most importantly very friendly. They truly helped me gain confidence before my test. I really appreciate their help!! 12/15/2017

I had two two-hour lessons with Carrie and Tony. They were very thorough and clear in the instructions. I had driven in other country but wanted to be thorough with the rules here. Instructors were very patient, friendly and gave regular clear feedback along the course. They were good to set the driving course to practice all the rules. In the end checks stuck in my head and I cleared my driving test on the first attempt. 🙂 12/11/2017
