Our Reviews

My review will mostly be about Tony, who was the instructor I mostly worked with. Long story short, Tony is absolutely fantastic. I’ve faced a lot of mental roadblocks that made driving really stressful, but Tony’s relaxed (yet attentive) teaching style made it really easy to quickly re-learn how to drive and gain confidence on the road. I couldn’t recommend him more.

The overall booking experience was also a breeze – the online interface is super simple and easy to use. You can add appointments to your calendar, easily cancel them in advance, and they’ll even send you a helpful reminder the day before your lesson takes place. But be warned: slots fill up quickly! 3/6/2018

I took the international relocation course and my instructor was Tony. I have an experience of driving however not in US. Tony is an excellent instructor who enforces and reinforces driving rules to the extent that you remember it always. I have my behind the wheel in Feb end. Let’s see how that goes.

I would highly recommend Bay area Driving Academy for anybody wishing to learn how to drive or for people relocating to the area. 2/9/2018

I hired Bay Area Driving Academy for 3-two hour courses for my elderly father for a safety and refresher course. The staff was very responsive and understanding of our needs. Carrie is an amazing instructor, very knowledgable of the driving code, clear and calm instructions. She provided good feedback to my father to correct bad habits from 63 years of driving. I feel better knowing that his driving was evaluated by an independent instructor. He passed his senior driving test easily.

I highly recommend this company. 1/23/2018

I started driving later in life, and have had some trouble trying to find a driving school that could help me since I do have a disability. I had three 2-hour lessons with Carrie, and she was able to calm my anxiety and nervousness about driving, since I never really drove before. My last lesson was a refresher course before my driving test with Luis. Luis and Carrie are great instructors who are not only patient, but personable and friendly. I want to thank the BADA team for all their help because not only was I able to get appointments set up easily, but I was able to become confident in my driving ability and pass my test on the first try. 1/3/2018

Carrie and her team are incredible. All 3 of my kids and their 2 cousins worked with Carrie and a few of her team members, and all 5 kids passed the driving test on the first try! Carrie is relaxed, a very good teacher, and made it extremely easy for us to get appointments that worked with my kids’ busy schedules. She took them on different routes and created a calm driving environment in which the students were not overly stressed and were able to actually process what it was that they were learning. We were all extremely satisfied with our experiences with the Bay Area Driving Academy, and HIGHLY recommend Carrie and her team to anyone looking for a great experience with a driving instructor team!! 12/31/2017
