I first met Carrie 5 years ago when she provided behind the wheel training for my daughter. She did an awesome job (my daughter passed the driver’s test her first time!). So when it came time for my son to learn to drive, I again reached out to Carrie. Carrie was very responsive to my questions and got back to me quickly with an appointment time. My son reported back that he learned a great deal, and that Carrie gave him valuable tips that will help him be a better driver and pass his driver’s test. Carrie is really the best out there for behind the wheel training. I feel better as a passenger when my son is driving thanks to Carrie’s excellent instruction! 11/13/2015
Great instructors; they are very knowledgeable and patient, they did teach me everything I needed to get a license and be a good driver. (12/14/2018)
I met Carrie through Sunnyvale Driving School and was impressed with her professionalism, warm personality and excellent skills as a teacher. I have tried several other driving teachers at other schools for my older children and Carrie is by far the best driving teacher we’ve ever met. She’s so great, I’m glad to see that she’s now branching out and starting her own driving school, the Bay Area Driving Academy. We will stick with Carrie in her new venture – I know she’s the best teacher for my son. He’s enjoying his lessons too, and learning really quickly. Carrie covers what is required for him to know for his test but also goes beyond that and makes sure he also knows other important things, like how to parallel park (which is no longer part of the driving test).

What a great company! My daughter completed their behind-the-wheel training with Bay Area Driving Academy. She had lessons with both Teresa and Jenn, and both provided her with excellent instruction. She passed her driving test the first time shortly after her third lesson. They were both friendly and professional, and my daughter enjoyed her lessons with them. In addition to excellent instruction, I appreciated the ease of scheduling at Bay Area Driving Academy. They have a calendar posted online that you can use to schedule lessons. No calling, leaving messages, waiting for return phone calls. In addition, the staff at Bay Area is very friendly and accommodating. They helped me reschedule a lesson after my daughter injured herself and could not drive. So, a well-run company with an excellent product, excellent customer service, and excellent logistical support. I highly recommend them! 9/5/2016
Carrie is a wonderful teacher who is kind, professional, and passionate about what she is doing. My son has truly enjoyed working with her. Highly recommend her and will use again to teach my niece. 6/15/2016
