Carrie is beyond amazing! I would have given her more than five stars if I could because even if Carrie were half as good as she really is, she would have still deserved more than five stars. My daughter started with her when Carrie was just finishing being at Sunnyvale Driving School and continued with her then at Carrie’s new own school Bay Area Driving Academy. I made a lot of research before finding Carrie and my daughter had to wait for her over two months since she was so booked. It was so worth it! My daughter became an excellent driver, passed her first test and now is giving me constructive criticism when I drive. I am thinking of taking a few lessons from Carrie myself. 5/11/2016

It was great to be behind the wheel with Teresa. She helped me get over my nerves and feel more confident behind the wheel. You can’t go wrong here. I got great pointers and know what to work on. Thanks Teresa for the lesson. I’m so glad I worked with you. 5/5/2016

I passed the road test on my first try after their lessons. Carrie and Teresa were both professional, on time, and clearly knew what they were doing, and appointments were extremely easy to schedule. I’d never driven before and was looking for someone who could handle extreme beginners; they did that very well. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for driving lessons in the Bay Area. 4/29/2016

Just passed my test today, yeah!! I recently moved to CA from Europe, with no european license and not knowing Santa Clara area that much. I took 3 lessons, 1 with Teresa and 2 with Carrie and they were both fantastic. Professionals, supportive, patients and clear on the explanations. I will definetely recommend them! (I passed at the 1st try!) 4/22/2016

I took 3 driving lessons with Carrie and it was the best decision I’ve made. She is very calm and patient, and she gives you the confidence you need to ace the test. I passed the exam and I would not be able to make it without her. I strongly recommend her if you are going to take your driving test. 4/11/2016
