Carlos Becerra Driving Lessons
I recently hired Carlos Becerra, the same Carlos listed in a review from 2018. He was all the things that parent said: calm, kind, reliable, and wonderful. His car has safety controls, andhe is insured. He took my son to the DMV to practice around that area; he also took him driving on the freeway. I'd highly recommend him, and he is indeed half the price of most driving instructors. His number is still 510-816-8034. Note that he while he is affiliated with a driving school run by his niece, Gaby's Driving School, he seems to operate separately in the East Bay.
You should obviously use Carlos, who is a gentle soul, calm and a wonderful teacher who charges almost half of any other teacher. My son, of course, passed with flying colors his first driving test. Carlos will also take your child to test, do all the paper work etc.
Carlos' number is : 510 816 8034

RE: Need inexpensive licensed instructor for daughter
My son had a wonderful experience learning to drive with Carlos, as did an older friend who needed refresher courses before a driving test for a US license. Both learners were on the anxious, overly cautious side. Carlos picked up my son at our house with a fully equipped instruction car, was patient and confidence inspiring, and my son passed the driving test on his first attempt. He charges $70 per two hour session and can provide the official certification of instructional hours needed by the DMV. His phone number is 510 816 8034. satisfied customer

RE: Driving teacher for 16 year oldMy son, who was really worried and thought he wouldn't be able to learn to drive, had an outstanding experience with Carlos, current phone number 510 816 8034, whom we found through earlier recs on BPN (source of all wisdom...). He used to be with Marina, but is now with Ron's Driving School. He was organized and clear--my son became a careful but confident driver and passed his driving test on the first attempt. Carlos was also very reasonably priced, and picked my son up at our house in the hills. saved my nerves....

Re: teen driver's trainer?
My daughter and her friend have both learned from Carlos at Marina Driving School, 5515 Foothill Blvd, Oakland, CA 94605. The cost was much less than other schools, I believe it was $30/hr. Carlos is supportive and calm, and even encourages the kids to practice their Spanish with him. I can recommend him highly. His car is a Toyota. 510-816-8034 (phone # updated Aug 2009)

Our nanny, at 52, was overjoyed to have passed her driving test last month. She had failed the test at least twice, so we found an instructor for her, and after two $60 lessons and a lot of directed practicing, she passed easily. I highly recommend her instructor, Carlos Bercerra. He was competent, mild-mannered, experienced, gave her sensible advice for practicing, and was perfectly punctual. And his English is excellent. You can reach him through the Marina Driving School. Good luck.
