Student with Flight Instructor reported a NMAC during final approach with an aircraft that took off from the opposite end of the runway. Student took evasive action to avoid a collision and noted that other incidents involving the pilot had previously occurred.

Narrative

Departed ZZZ for a commercial training flight at XA:29. I was coming back from practicing landings and maneuvers at and north of ZZZ1. Made a 10 mile; 5 mile; 3 mile; and 45° entry into the downwind call; then base and final position reports for Runway XX. (Note: due to runway grade; XY is used for departures and XX is usually used for landings). Me; my instructor; nor the training instructor that was sitting in the back seat to observe the flight heard a radio call from the other pilot. We got to an around 0.2nm from the runway at most 500 AGL. I was looking my aiming point to line myself up and stabilize my descent. I saw some relative motion above my line-of-sight and looked up to see him coming straight toward me. At the same time my instructor noticed our traffic warning light was going off. I turned to the right and then added full power; initiating a go-around. I had to turn to the right fairly aggressively in corrective action to avoid a collision. I did not see any corrective action from the other pilot in-flight or on ground track found on website A and website B after the flight. I then made a go-around call and stated that I was going to be flying the downwind for Runway XY; then into the crosswind and then downwind for Runway XX. As we were in the downwind after the go-around; my instructor asked over the radio why he didn't make any calls and if he heard or saw us. The other pilot then made a radio call and said that he didn't hear us. Then he said 'I was making my calls and I don't know what happened;' even though we didn't hear it; nor did any employees in the FBO or hangar at the flight school (which has the UNICOM playing over speakers). I personally believe the reason for this NMAC is simply a negligence for safety. Even if the pilot did not hear us on the frequency; he should have seen us on final approach as he was on takeoff roll or departure; as well as on any GPS; ADSB-in; Foreflight; etc. if he had any of those tools at his disposal. This was not the first incident with this individual at the ZZZ airport; and wasn't even the only incident involving them at ZZZ today. There has been recurring safety-related and near mid air collision incidents with this pilot and I believe they need to seriously reconsider their personal safety protocols. To prevent a reoccurrence; the pilot should ensure to listen for incoming traffic; look for incoming traffic; and install GPS that shows traffic with ADSB-in or use tools such as Foreflight; if not already installed or available to them. The pilot should also be sure the volume on their avionics is turned up and that they are on the correct frequency; neither of which; though; I believe were factors in this incident due to how quickly he spoke back over the radio when me or my instructor spoke to him.
