I emailed back asking for a call or email to discuss such changes, but instead received an email that showed a REFUND! Instead of calling a paying customer back, their answer was to cancel my son's classes & issue a refund. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE & not the way a company should operate. Not only did THEY make the decision on my child's drivers ed education, they left us stuck having to look elsewhere with 3 days before class 1 was to begin. I have also heard from many parents in my town that trying to book a 1 hour driving class is near impossible. I DO NOT RECOMMEND AGGANIS FOR ANY ONE!

It's just seems so weird to have fail a good driver multiple times. and literally lie and create fake evidences of violations that my daughter hasn't committed to make her fail and take the exam again. the instructor did not even had a grading sheet on him. He was talking to the sponsor in the back the whole time, at the end he said failed. After my daughter complained, he went to his car and brought and evaluation sheet and circled fake stuff and claimed she committed those violation. Very disappointed and would not recommend at all. It just a bench of insecure testers who enjoy failing people for god knows what reasons....

I'm not trying to criticize his technique as a whole, but I do want others to have a clear sense of what to expect. Booking a session was quick and easy, and I was able to get an appointment the very next day, which I really appreciated. I understand that driving instructors sometimes need to be curt and direct for safety reasons. However, I think the type of feedback also needs to match the situation and the student's experience level. For me, the lesson felt like an hour of being yelled at. I was constantly aware that I was doing something wrong, but not always what I had done wrong or how to fix it. My impression was that Lucien overestimated my prior driving experience. This could likely have been resolved by taking a few moments to pause, talk through what we were about to do, and ask whether I had done it before. When I asked questions, Lucien was willing to demonstrate, but many of his instructions weren't clear to me, and his tone made me feel as though I was being scolded, even if that wasn't his intention. If I made the same mistake multiple times, that suggested I didn't understand something, not that I wasn't trying. Instead, he seemed frustrated that I didn't get it immediately and would tell me I was doing it wrong without giving concrete, descriptive feedback about how to correct it. For example, when I was practicing turning, he would yell that I was doing it wrong and grab the wheel, which didn't help me understand what I needed to change. It would have been far more helpful to pull over, explain the steps clearly, and then practice on a quiet street where I could try again safely and independently. There were also times when I misunderstood his instructions (for instance, going into the leftmost lane instead of going to the leftmost lane that eventually turns right). His immediate response was to yell that I hadn't listened, rather than clarify what I had misunderstood. This approach felt infantilizing and made me upset and distracted, which wasn't conducive to learning. Pedagogically, it also didn't make much sense to me. I wasn't paying $70 an hour to ignore instructions; if I wasn't following them correctly, it meant something about the instructions wasn't clear. A more helpful response would have been to ask what part I had misunderstood and adjust the explanation so I could succeed next time. Overall, Lucien may be a good fit for students who thrive under very direct and high-pressure instruction, are very good at articulating the specific skills that they already have and are hoping to gain, and are better at interpreting his feedback. For others, his style may be stressful and difficult to learn from.

At this rate you can expect over a year or more to finish. Had I checked their reviews, I would shopped around. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I'm seeing in the time frame. They moved my son's in classroom lessons from Wilmington to Reading for low class attendance, but then you got everyone stuck waiting to get driving lessons. Communication is spotty, sometimes you might get a response and other times your words fall on deaf ears. I was advised to check the driving lessons schedule to make my selection to open slots, great! That's what I love to do in my busy life is check a non existent scheduling platform every day . Like I'm home weaving picnic baskets.

"Despite promises of 24-hour scheduling and text alerts for lessons, it is nearly impossible to schedule actual driving lessons as they are so crowded. My daughter has been unable to schedule a lesson since August. It requires daily calls, log-ins and messages, none of which go answered. If you need to add a whole new level of frustration to your life, then this is the place for you. If you actually expect them to be good on their word, then best to look elsewhere. Horrible website interface, no human interaction, and no ability to schedule an actual road lesson."

My daughter went there 4 years back with no problems, this time around my son took his classroom portion of the driving school on Feb. vacation only because the instructor did not provide the proof that we had taken the parent class for my daughter. We stuck it out, yesterday March 15th, we receive a message from the instructor with a driving schedule for the end of April. We had been reaching out to the instructor to include him in the schedule as soon as he finished the class in February. Now because of the "Pandemic" he's saying this is the best they can do. There was no "Pandemic" in February when he finished the class! Also, I requested a written certification as proof he finished the class, he refuses saying it can be found online. Other driving schools say they need this to request a transfer from the driving school. Now we are kind of stuck. Lesson learned, "You get what you pay for". Do not waste your money!! you'll pay for it later.
