I would highly recommend the Bay Area Driving Academy to anyone looking to get a lesson. They are very social and make you feel very comfortable and welcomed when driving so definitely good for nervous first time drivers! They teach and communicate everything you need to know for your test and to improve yourself as a driver in a very nice but professional way. Would highly highly recommend Carie as well! Very sweet, nice, and awesome person to be with. 4/4/2017

Seriously loved Teresa! She was super helpful; easier to drive with than my parents. I never felt awkward or uncomfortable and learned well- I passed my test with barely any mistakes the first time 3/29/2017

I booked a test day appointment with them. Firstly, they have a very good website. It is catered very well to the needs of a customer and is very well organised. Booking a lesson/appointment through the website is a cakewalk. Carrie was a very good instructor. Very friendly and patient. I was extremely nervous but she did calm me down. Very encouraging. We didn’t have much time before the test but the few tips that she gave me for the test were really helpful. I could actually see myself using them during the test and wondering how badly I would have flunked had I not known these things. It worked really well for me (passed driving test in first attempt yayy 😀 ). I would highly recommend this driving school. The instructors are very passionate about what they are doing and very much involved in the job. 3/11/2017

I can’t recommend them enough. I had a lesson with Teresa and one with Jenn, both were brilliant teachers.

They were very patient, taking the time to explain each step and letting me have multiple tries at things when I didn’t feel 100% that I had got it nailed down.

On the day of my test, Teresa took me around the area I would have my test, talked me through everything I needed to know, and best of all, I passed the first time.

It also hugely helped that both the instructors and the owner were all extremely polite, friendly and professional. I genuinely knew I was in good hands from the first email I received back.2/17/2017

I would highly recommend this school. I took a couple of lessons before my behind-the-wheel test there with Teresa. She is very positive, supportive and attentive, she helped me a lot to improve my driving style and cope with the test anxiety. I followed her advice and passed the exam. The school itself offers a great service: you can book lessons online, there is a big variety of pricing options, and you can also pay either before or after the lesson. Also, the school would always remind you in advance about your upcoming lesson. 2/9/2017
