Ron Aoki explains things well and makes things easier. He's very patient and explains things thoroughly when behind the wheel. As long as you listen and remember everything he says, you'll do well. He also cares about his students. I had both of my kids learn from him and I was amazingly surprised that he remembered my son from over 3 years ago!

Mr. Ron Aioki was a pleasure to work with as a parent and our twins did great at his driving school and both passed their driving tests the very first time. He is professional and would even pick up or drop off at school or a different location if you scheduled it with him in advance. This helped during school a great deal. Loved the Saturday classes that allowed our daughters to finish faster than if classes were only on weekdays.

My daughter just completed the classroom course with HDI and Ron did a great job. Since my daughter is completing high school outside of the US we had to ask Ron if he could accommodate our scheduling needs and he was happy to help us out. He is very caring, attentive and really cares about making sure the kids are safe and responsible on the road.

Loved it! Our son passed his road test on the first try. Ron is friendly and responds quickly to text and emails, he gives out a helpful tip sheet before the test.

I'm upset by the other low rated review as I had a completely different experience. The instructor has had over 15 years in the business and hands down allowed me to learn driving techniques safely and as clearly as possible. Having had already had a permit in the state of North Carolina, I had to redo drivers Ed here due to some of the minor changes in the rules. I can say my experience was much different and hands down think you won't find a better instructor on the island.
