I took several custom-tailored lessons and the test-day assist with Hassell and one pre-test preparedness lesson with Felix. Both were excellent instructors, and helped me refresh my skills and learn how it works here in California; I was able to pass my test easily once I was confident in what they were looking for and what was expected of me. I highly recommend these instructors and lessons. (12/18/2019)

I was a bit skeptical about booking a class because of the reviews here but I’m so glad i did. I had Carrie as my instructor and she is absolutely amazing! I went from being nervous and not knowing how to start the car to being comfortable driving at 45! In just 2 hours, she taught me enough to pass my test. strongly recommend bay area driving academy:) (10-23-2019)

I took lesson with Hassell. Passed my behind-the-wheel test with an excellent score. Hassell is the best driving instructor ever. Highly recommend. (12-4-2019)

This is no doubt, one of the best and most professional driving schools! They have a clear online appointment system that lets you choose the type of lesson, time and the instructor prior to paying the fees. You also get regular reminders of upcoming lessons, that I found helpful.

I was able to overcome my fear of driving and pass my test on the first try after taking 3 classes with Hassell. He is punctual, friendly and patient (even when I made critical errors on the road). I really appreciated how he went out of the way to understand WHY I made certain mistakes and suggested how to avoid them. His tips, tricks and feedback have helped not only for the road test, but for safe driving on a daily basis. I highly recommend Hassell and the Bay Area Driving Academy to anyone looking for lessons!

I highly recommend this driving school to anyone learning how to drive. Had a very positive experience all around. Easy online scheduling and rescheduling, and huge thanks to my son’s driving instructor, Sohrab, who is amazing! Keep up the good work! (11-9-2019)
