I paid for my daughters lessons with Nancy. I notified her before my daughter started that we were…read morenot going to have time to practice with my daughter due to work and told her this is why we're paying for lessons. She was fine with this during our conversation. Fast forward to my daughter starting her lessons, Nancy cut them all 15 minutes short because my daughter wasn't practicing in between lessons with her. Nancy never made up that time and never scheduled the last lesson even though she was paid in full. This was over a year ago and Bernard's has still made no efforts to reach out for the last lesson or repay the money for my child to use their car during her road test.

This is the worse driving school I have ever seen in my life. Mr. Martin is an absolute sexist pig…read more He shouldn't be allowed to teach females how to drive since all he does is slam on the break j scream at them, but he has no problem taking their money. The whole company is unprofessional, "lose" payments, "forget" drive times & then charge you for their missed drive times. They wanted $30 for a drive time they didn't even show up to. Save yourself the headache. I'm reaching out to all the local high schools who offer Martin's & advising them of how absolutely awful their business practices are & how unprofessional they are to kids!

She helped me through my anxiety and made me a competent and safe driver. I was able to pass the road test with flying colors because of her. Definitely, a good decision on my part to join this auto school. No regrets and very much worth the money.

feel compelled to share our experience with Amaral's Driving School so other parents are aware…read more My daughter completed her driving lessons with instructor Ana, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. During all her lessons, Ana appeared to be on Facebook for much of the time rather than actively instructing. When my daughter asked questions while learning, she was often told she would "figure it out once she started driving," which felt dismissive rather than supportive for a new driver who was trying to learn. I called Amaral's numerous times to speak to Ana and I never heard from her! The most concerning experience occurred during my daughter's road test. Ana sat in the back seat while the road test examiner spoke to my daughter in a very rude manner and even called her an "idiot." My daughter was simply asking him to repeat instructions because she had difficulty hearing and understanding him, as he spoke very softly and had a strong accent. She was not being disrespectful; she was trying to follow directions correctly. After the exam, Ana's feedback to my daughter was that she should have stayed quiet because examiners "don't like when people talk back." Asking for clarification when you cannot hear or understand instructions should not be considered talking back. What is equally frustrating is that I have called the school multiple times to discuss these issues and never once received a call back from Ana or anyone else. The lack of accountability and communication has been extremely disappointing. Parents trust driving schools to provide professional instruction and support for young drivers. Unfortunately, that was NOT our experience here.

My son will now have to start from scratch and we will have to pay again and battle it out with this business ran by an owner who has put his personal problems become his clients. STAW AWAY!

I knew that I needed someone competent, and medically knowledgeable to advocate for me in case I couldn't. Alyssa was that, and more. She spoke up when I couldn't because I was focused solely on evicting my child. She offered suggestions to help alleviate my pain and always asked before doing any maneuvers. She kept an eye on my husband for me (I was worried for his wellbeing having to watch me push out a watermelon :P ). I don't know that my birthing process would have gone as smoothly as it did without her. If I decide I want a second child, Alyssa will be right back in that delivery room with me.

I can't explain how unbelievably amazing it was having Alyssa as my doula for my second pregnancy…read more From the first time we spoke I felt so well listened to and you could tell how committed she was to my birth plan and preferences. Throughout my entire pregnancy she was there to support, offer advice, resources and so much more than I ever expected. She made me feel so confident going into my labor and birth and I felt so well prepared and supported. Having Alyssa at my birth made the entire experience absolutely amazing. The comfort, support and experience she provided to me as well as my husband was beyond anything I ever expected. It was the absolute best experience and I got the birth I wanted and couldn't have done it without her by my side. If you are looking for a doula Alyssa is the absolute best and I highly recommend her services. I'll definitely be looking forward to having her as our doula again for any future pregnancies/births.

I have taken several classes with Catherine, a drawing class, and a watercolor painting class…read more Both classes were well run, informative, and enjoyable. As someone without a great deal of artist talent Catherine's warm and encouraging style allowed me to feel comfortable exploring and creating. Some of the other students in the class were very talented artists. The supportive atmosphere she creates in her classes allowed me to benefit from the techniques she shared with them rather than feeling intimidated. I highly recommend trying one of her classes no matter what your level of experience or talent.

Our students learn traditional techniques with graphite pencils, colored pencils, watercolor and acrylic paints to illustrate portraits, landscape, animals, still-life, and abstract subjects.

Located in New Bedford's longest-running artist community, we often take field trips to visit the professional creators who work in our building. Our year-round schedule includes after-school, weekend, school vacation, and summertime hours. Many students attend the school for years, often returning as teaching assistants once they age out of the program.
