Highly recommend

I thoroughly recommend Alex and the Green Cat Driving school. Alex helped me to feel more confident and in control when driving. His instruction is calm and he makes sure you feel comfortable at each stage. Also, not only is Alex a great instructor, he is also a great bloke. I shall miss our chats during the lessons.

I am very pleased to have obtained my driving licence on the first attempt. I had excellent experience with this driving school. The instructor, David Jonker, he explained everything clearly, which helped me gain confidence behind the wheel. The driving videos made by David -they were very informative, easy to understand, and extremely helpful for learning road rules, maneuvers, and test tips outside of lessons. The lessons were well organized, focused on safety and real life driving situations and scheduling was flexible. I would highly recommend this driving school especially instructor David, to anyone looking for quality instruction and extra learning support.

My instructor Carl at Green Cat was amazing. He was very patient, funny when he needed to be and was very calm. Couldn’t recommend him enough. He went above and beyond so that I felt comfortable throughout the whole driving experience.

Brilliant Driving School!

Alex from the Green Cat Driving School is a brilliant instructor, he is very understanding and patient. I was quite nervous to start driving and thought I would be practicing in a car park for a good few lessons before going on to the road, but within the first lesson, Alex had me driving on the road, something I didn’t think I would have the confidence to do straight away. After that, lessons with Alex were fun but informative and allowed for plenty of self evaluation which really helped me understand the road and see where I needed to improve, he also kept checking up during lessons to make sure I was doing ok. He also sent helpful links and print outs outside of lesson to help with forward planning and in preparation for my test. I am happy to say I passed first time yesterday, something I didn’t believe I would do so soon, but with the support and help of Alex I achieved it and am now driving around safe and confidently! When you drive with Alex, you drive as a team. Thank you Alex!

Thanks Abbie, thats so kind of you. I particularly resonate with the last line '....drive as a team' Very true and I'm a big advocate of this.

Super lessons, I really enjoyed them, such a good pass with some really lovely words from the examiner.

Great work and thank you.
