I had 4 lessons with Bay Area Driving Academy and I can’t recommend them highly enough. My first 2 lessons were with Luis, a great instructor who put me at ease about driving. The 3rd and 4th lessons were with Carrie, who took me to the DMV for the drive test after the lesson. Having them there made the whole experience much more tolerable, which is really something considering it’s the DMV.
I have a friend who’s learning how to drive and am planning on getting her lessons from Bay Area Driving Academy as a birthday gift. You can definitely trust them to provide a quality education. 4/11/2017
Luis is an awesome instructor, who have helped me not only to be prepared for the behind the wheel tests but also to improve my driving skills, a lot. I can say for sure that now I’m a better driver! He told me a lot of insights about how the DMV office works, what should I do (and do not) on my exam day. In fact, even though I have passed the exam and got my license, I’m thinking to take couple more lessons to improve my skills in driving on the highways and in parallel parking.
Overall all I have had a really great experience with the school and would highly recommend the school (and Luis as an instructor) for everyone who wants to obtain the CA driving license. Thank you all: Luis, Jenn, Carrie 4/5/2017
I would highly recommend the Bay Area Driving Academy to anyone looking to get a lesson. They are very social and make you feel very comfortable and welcomed when driving so definitely good for nervous first time drivers! They teach and communicate everything you need to know for your test and to improve yourself as a driver in a very nice but professional way. Would highly highly recommend Carie as well! Very sweet, nice, and awesome person to be with. 4/4/2017
Seriously loved Teresa! She was super helpful; easier to drive with than my parents. I never felt awkward or uncomfortable and learned well- I passed my test with barely any mistakes the first time 3/29/2017
I booked a test day appointment with them. Firstly, they have a very good website. It is catered very well to the needs of a customer and is very well organised. Booking a lesson/appointment through the website is a cakewalk. Carrie was a very good instructor. Very friendly and patient. I was extremely nervous but she did calm me down. Very encouraging. We didn’t have much time before the test but the few tips that she gave me for the test were really helpful. I could actually see myself using them during the test and wondering how badly I would have flunked had I not known these things. It worked really well for me (passed driving test in first attempt yayy 😀 ). I would highly recommend this driving school. The instructors are very passionate about what they are doing and very much involved in the job. 3/11/2017
