I took about 7 or so lessons with Carrie, and today was able to pass my driving test at the DMV. Bay Area Driving Academy was the second school I tried after a less great experience at another driving school, and I definitely recommend them. Carrie is understanding, patient, and willing to meet you where you are at. I am visually impaired and only recently learned there were options for me to drive, so I learned to drive as an adult. My vision and my learning to drive a bit later in life brought about a lot of anxieties, but Carrie was encouraging, and very respectful of my situation. If you have special needs or need to take a supplemental driving test, Carrie and her team might be a good fit for you. Jenny in scheduling was also very helpful and accommodating working around my work schedule, helping me find slots that would allow me to take driving lessons after my work days, which was greatly appreciated. Thanks to Bay Area Driving Academy for all your help! (8/29/2023)

Teresa was wonderful, I selected the Test Day Assist Course and right from the jump she was super helpful and knew how to have a good time. She made sure to give me good pointers and that I knew what the driving instructor would expect from me. I highly recommend going with her if you need any help driving whatsoever because she will break things down nice and easy and will make you feel prepared. Thanks again Teresa you are awesome!

I feel confident that with Teresa’s lesson, I will be able to pass the driving test in October.

Thanks, Teresa! Today, I parallel parked and drove back straight next to the curb in one shot! It was so perfect, I should have taken a picture! Hope you won a big one, or will soon! (7/31/2023)

I recently taken 2 driving courses with Instructor Forest and had Instructor Scott assist me on my test day. The instructors were kind and provided helpful feedback which really boosted my confidence in driving. With their help, I passed my test on my first attempt! So if you get nervous about driving like me, then I HIGHLY recommend you to schedule a course! (7/15/2023)

Thank you to Carrie at Bay Area Driving Academy for teaching my oldest son to drive. He just passed his driver’s test!! As a parent, I appreciated the email feedback with the information on what he is doing well and what he needs to work on. Carrie was a calm and straightforward instructor. I will definitely use this driving school for my other two boys. (7/12/2023)
