I had heard great things about Carrie (from Sunnyvale Driving school) from some friends whose children were in the process of getting their license so I called her for my oldest son’s lessons.

She is a very personable, positive and professional driving teacher. I called her again for my middle son’s lessons and he just finished his 3rd lesson today. After each lesson, she makes sure to connect with the parent and go over what he needs to work on. I will definitely call her again when it’s time for my 3rd son’s time behind the wheel lessons. 1/6/2016

Just to say I’ve got my CA driving license now! Definitely worth paying for my lesson, my only regret is I didn’t do it sooner! 12/31/2015

I’ve recently moved to the Bay Area and after driving on the left for 8 years, I was nervous about learning to drive on the right and learning the local rules. I had a lesson with Carrie (originally from Sunnyvale Driving School) and Teresa who were both a lot of fun and relaxed, while also professional and helpful. The two hour long lesson took me through a variety of areas and gave me ample opportunity to put into practice the local rules which was exactly what I needed. They covered a range of skills necessary for everyday driving (like refreshing my parallel parking skills!), not just checking the boxes for the driving test. They kindly corrected me when necessary and left me feeling a lot more confident and ready for the practical driving test to get my CA license (watch this space!).

Quick and easy communication, the car was nice and modern and all round I can’t fault my experience – I would highly recommend Bay Area Driving Academy! 12/10/2015

I had a very good lesson with Carrie as an instructor. She is very professional and nice, and a good teacher. I felt very comfortable and wasn’t stressed as I usually am when behind the wheel. She also had good tips and explanations for all the questions I had. I definitely recommend! 12/9/2015

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
