I did the majority of my driving with Carrie when I had my permit. She really made me feel comfortable during the lesson and I was confident in my ability to drive at all times, because of her. I always had a good time on my lessons because Carrie never yelled, always offered constructive criticism when needed, and offered up topics of conversation to pass the long two hour lessons. Overall, I do not regret spending any money or time by committing to the Bay Area Driving Academy. 7/25/2016

I took one driving class with Carrie (from Sunnyvale Driving School) and I easily passed the DMV Behind-the-Wheel Test with zero errors. Carrie gave me very useful tips on skills that I was lacking in, and she was very easy and fun to talk to. I’m glad I took a class with her before taking the test at the DMV! 7/11/2016

My daughter took pre-exam class with Carrie, passed on the first try! We are very happy with the instruction provided. My son took class with Carrie back when it was Sunnyvale Driving School, passed on first try too. Highly recommended. 7/6/2016

My son just took his third driving class from Carrie (originally from Sunnyvale Driving School). It was extremely easy to schedule with the online calendar. I also left a phone message and Jimmy returned my call promptly. He was kind, courteous and helpful. I received a text message reminding me about the scheduled class. My son has become a very careful driver. He uses all the tips that Carrie suggested. He felt very comfortable with her. Carrie has just the right balance with her students: friendly, calm, and informative. I would highly recommend Bay Area Driving Academy. The office help is efficient, Carrie is fantastic, and the training car is is great shape! I am telling all of my son’s friends’ parents about Bay Area Driving Academy! 7/2/2016

The Bay Area Driving Academy is very professional from the get go. Their site was very informative, they responded immediately to my request and their contacts were timely and helpful. I am an elderly client and needed to brush up my driving skills before taking the DMV driving test after many years without one. I was very nervous and Theresa, the instructor they sent, was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. She was exactly on time to begin with, and during my session was very reassuring and sensitive – in fact she was so careful about my feelings I had to assure her that I needed her criticisms and welcomed them! She really boosted my confidence and I passed the test with flying colors, thanks to her helpful tips I’m sure. I felt the cost of the pre-test preparedness course was worth every penny, and I can wholeheartedly recommend them. (7/2/2016)
