I have put all three of my children through this driving school now. It's a small business, and…read moreit's very clear that the teenagers learning how to drive are the true focus. They try so hard (and succeed, IMO) in making sure they are available at times that are convenient and possible for the kids - working around school times, breaks and picking them up at school or home. During the pandemic, they worked really hard to get the kids going as soon as they could. They are also very aware of how important this is to the kids and really keep that front and center in their business.

Bay Hill is the best driving school in the Bay Area. I know that's saying a lot, but truth be…read moretold, I had such a great experience here. I'm a freshly 20 year old female without any experience behind the wheel, and I mean any!! Unfortunately, my nerves got the best of me during my first lesson and I freaked out. I caused myself and my instructor some stress, and sadly I was unmotivated to drive for a while. Before I left a negative review, I contacted Bay Hill's through email. They made things right and scheduled my second appointment with JP, and he was fantastic! I went from shaking like a leaf behind the wheel to having genuine confidence in 2 hours-- No exaggeration! We drove around and shared a heartfelt conversation, in which he also shared some tips on lane switching and turns. Halfway through our session, we stopped for water and stretches, so I knew my comfortability was respected. The negative reviews on this business are so upsetting. This is an excellent Asian-owned, woman-owned small business with so much diversity on their staff. If your first lesson goes awry, contact them!!! They are bound to have someone you are comfortable with. This is an honest review! I could not recommend Bay Hill Driving School enough!

My instructor was a bit of a nightmare who didn't talk me through any steps, she just told me to…read morestart driving right away and harshly corrected anything I did wrong. She would smack gum, eat food, and generally had an attitude of not caring. Only until my last class did she run me through a couple of rules but I never really learnt anything under her teaching. It was high pressure and everything I learned was like being tested without knowing there was a test or what the material was on. The only saving grace here is that the people at the office are great, they kindly signed my second permit and gave me another learning certificate for $25 when I lost my first one. I would shop around for a better driving school before settling on this one.

THAT was greatly appreciated! I only have 2 issues... 1-the talkers towards the front of the room: They were distracting. It was sometimes difficult to hear the instruction and discussion. They should have been asked to take their discussion outside.. but not a deal breaker.. 2- why didn't I sit closer to the front? Well, the classroom chairs were highschool-like desk/chair combo seats. Very small and very uncomfortable (as other smaller people told me). My leg couldn't even fit halfway in. I had to sit on an office chair in the back and pulled a desk, backwards, towards me for a writing surface. Pretty embarrassing. Please consider having single tables and chairs for those of us that need a bit more room. 8 hours slouching and my back is aching today... Thank you for facilitating and sending the DMV our certificates of completion!

We had such a great experience with Phuong as a driving instructor that I really wanted to share…read more My daughter initially started with a different instructor, and unfortunately that experience was stressful--there was a lot of yelling, which made her lose confidence behind the wheel. A friend recommended Phuong, and I'm so grateful we found her. From the very first lesson, my daughter felt much more at ease. Phuong is incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, and she created a supportive environment that really helped rebuild my daughter's confidence. Thanks to her guidance, my daughter passed her driving test today! I truly appreciate the way Phuong teaches--not just the technical skills, but also how she encourages and supports her students. It made all the difference for us. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and effective driving instructor.

They set up the days and times which worked perfect for his winter break which was that week. I called on a Friday after Christmas then got a lesson for the following Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It was at 3pm which was good for my son to deal with afternoon traffic driving. Instructor: very communicative via text and phone call. Sometimes he was early, which worked great for us. First lesson: went over rules of road and allowed son to drive with much guidance. Second lesson: more driving for my son and learning to merge or lane change. Third lesson: went to dmv to practice route and what will be tested. Hand on papers were provided to the parent on what to practice.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I took my behind the wheel classes here and they are AMAZING!…read more At my first lesson, I didn't know a single thing about driving, but my instructor Kristi was very patient and very good at teaching me what to do. I was taught how to turn the steering wheel, use turn signals, using the brakes and accelerator, changing lanes, merging lanes, deal with traffic circles, speed limit, and so much more! I went from driving with no accelerator around my neighborhood to driving with the accelerator in the main roads! Great progress :) Second lesson was with Shelby, who was very good as well! She showed me DMV routes, taught me how to reverse in a straight line, lane changes when there was a bike lane present, and had me practicing what I needed to practice most. I am now very good at turning, performing the task of a U-Turn, changing lanes, and looking out for bikers in bike lanes. My last instructor was Christian, who was excellent! Very verbal in a very good way. He repeated things that were important so I could remember him saying those things. He taught me how to look ahead at all times, he taught me how to park in the mall parking lot, and he really worked on straight parking! Thanks to him, I can park at many places and I'm able to park along the curb without ever hitting it! Overall, every instructor I had were excellent! They were able to teach me with patience, tips, and of course, kindness and encouragement! Very informative and they prepare you VERY WELL for the DMV behind-the-wheel test!

She very rudely over the phone accused me of giving her the wrong address, which I did not. When she finally got to the correct address she verbally attacked my sister for giving her the wrong address, thinking she was talking to me. She pointed her finger in my sister's face as she was aggressively speaking to her. My husband then asked for a discount considering we paid for 1 full hour of training plus the actual DMV driving test (to use the car) As he was not going to get the full hour he was only getting 30 minutes drive time before the DMV driving test appointment. Jezel was very rude and then started blaming him for the address navigation "issue". She told my husband "i don't have to be here i can go home, do you want to go or not"!? I ended up on the phone with jezels boss and she was more concerned with me paying full price for something we were not going to receive than she was from this very unprofessional situation. I talked my husband into going with her, in hopes that he would pass the test, when they got into the car, the first thing she asked him was where he was from (he has a thick accent, her follow up question was "are you Muslim" then asked him why he was wearing a cross necklace (i am not sure how this is relevant to the driving test.) After all was said and done he got 30 minutes driving time, and we didn't get a single cent for a discount and she asked him for a tip. A TIP?
