I am disappointed with my experience with Derek Arneaud Driving School. I paid $450 for driving lessons for my daughter, despite the instructor being aware that she did not yet have a learner’s permit and could not legally participate in the services as expected. I believe this should have been clearly addressed before accepting payment.
When I attempted to resolve the issue and request a refund, the matter was not handled professionally or fairly. Communication and customer service throughout this process were very frustrating. I encourage parents to fully clarify all permit requirements, policies, and refund terms before making payment.

Great guy, very patient and calm. i expressed how my daughter was very nervous about diving and he took his time and guided her. We booked 6 lessons and then booked him to use his car for her road test. He showed up on time and the day of the road test he picked her up 90 minutes early to do another lesson before the test. Happy to say my daughter passed her road test thanks to Derek. Some say he's not a certified instructor and honestly i never even bothered to ask because it didnt matter to me as he was reliable and calm and polite. He's also more affordable than these other driving schools out there.

If you’re looking for someone to take your child out practicing, than his service is good. He’s a really nice guy but he’s not authorized to give the test. So the negative was he screwed up and said he moved our test date from the original one I scheduled for my child online. He did not. So we showed up to find out we had to come back on the original day I had in the system. Not sure if he misled us or he just screwed up dates. Basically if you are only looking for someone to take your child driving than he’s good and more than capable. However, he is not a licensed instructor which I thought was misleading in his business title. . You’ll have to do the testing on your own.

He is by far the best . Derek is the best teacher out there. He charges a fraction of the other schools . He also has such a carming demeanor that keeps your anxiety in check. I failed before I used him ,needless to say I aced it after a few lessons with Derek. If you want to pass your test ,use Derek's driving classes. He will not disappoint.

By the grace of god I was able to hire Derek for my son road test the day before the road test. Everyone was booked and not to mention way more expensive. Derek was at my home exactly 9:00 like he said and not a minute late. I stressed to him that my son needed to practice more on parallel parking. He never paralleled parked befor. Derek smiled and said no problem.Still I was concerned. But to make a long story short my son was parallel parking in a matter of one hour. He actually looked like he had been parking for a long time. When you have someone who really take pride in what they do and a excellent instructor anything is possible. As I looked at Derek I was a ball of nerves as if I was taking the road test but he assured me my son was fine and he was going to do good. And that he did he passed. So I say Thank you Derek for answering the phone for me and being a excellent instructor.
