David Jonker the best instructor there is!

My instructor was David Jonker and he was amazing. I passed my test first time with 4 minors. He prepares you well by giving clear instructions and he clearly knows what he’s doing. My first lesson with David I stalled on my first corner as it turns out I was setting off all wrong. Within 5 minutes I was starting perfectly thanks to his clear instructions and knowledge.

Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been driving with Dave for the past couple months and it’s been better than I could’ve imagined. He’s a dead nice bloke, very easy to get on with and a great teacher as well. Couldn’t fault him if I tried. No impatience at all and willing to show you anything any number of times without question. Couldn’t reccomend more. 👍👏👏

David Jonker took me from an anxious driver to confident driver!

David Jonker took me on board as an anxious driver, as I felt that I had left it too late to pursue driving lessons at 24. Through lessons, David provided simple and effective teaching and made me feel at ease on every lesson. I would not hesitate to recommend David, you would be a fool not to go with him. It was a pleasure to talk music throughout our lessons. Thank you for making me the competent driver I am today!

I was very lucky to have Alex be my driving instructor. I decided to learn in an automatic for the ease and benefits automatic cars provide. Alex is an honest, down to earth kinda guy and will always make the learning environment comfortable and enjoyable. Alex's teaching style is respectful and very supportive. Alex has an incredible knowledge for vehicles, driving tests and so much more! He takes a person centered approach to learners. Throughout my time learning to drive with Alex was fantastic, and I so enjoyed the experiences and skills I gained through learning with The Green Cat driving school. Alex is very approachable and a very friendly person. He makes learning to drive fun but stays focused and on task. When I started learning I was a bag of nerves! However, by the time of my test I was confident and trusted in myself and all the skills Alex helped me gain! And I passed first time! Thank you Alex, if there was going to be anyone to help me pass it had to be you! Cheers!

Could not recommend any more

Could not recommend any more, Alex is so supportive and makes you feel comfortable whilst ensuring you’re progressing and becoming the best driver you can. Went from absolutely dreading my lessons to looking forward to them coming up to now passing today with only 2 minors! Cannot thank Alex enough for a fantastic experience and journey! :)

Would highly recommend

I felt that I got many things covered in every single lesson I had. I wish I had come here sooner as compared to other instructors I've been to previously this was by far the best I've experienced. Even after the first lesson I felt a lot more confident within my driving and progress, I definitely made the right decision choosing this service. I'd like to say thank you to my instructor David Jonker and I highly recommend him to anybody
