Good feedback and training for the test

Dave was a great instructor, definitely the practice and tips helped to improve my driving quickly as I had previous experience but automatic car from the other side of the road. The classes were always on time with good flexibility, I received constant feedback and the mock tests certainly prepared me for the test.

Couldn’t have asked for better!

I had been learning in a manual for over a year and was going to give up all hope when I came across Alex and his automatic lessons. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our lessons together. Alex is such a nice person to chat to and he is excellent at teaching and he really helped me to understand things I couldn’t grasp before. Remembered my preferences with lesson times, was flexible and was totally honest with me about my strengths and weaknesses. Always gave brilliant feedback throughout and was just a rock during a time I was ready to throw in the towel and give up. I’m almost certain I would have never been able to drive without Green Cat. Thank you so much :)

Passed first time with greencat

I really struggled with my confidence initially when starting to learn but Alex was amazing at helping me overcome my struggles with my confidence and encouraged me every step of the way. I have just passed first time with only three minors and I definitely couldn’t have done it without Alex’s support.

Thank you Green Cat Driving School

I passed my driving test first time earlier this week with the help of my instructor, Alex. He is simply the best, a 5* instructor, a highly intelligent, remarkable person. He guided me through this incredibly nice journey of learning to drive with utmost care, understanding, patience and professionalism. He always did his best for me and made every lesson a positive, stress free and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Alex

Thanks Susan. I'm really going to miss our lessons (and all the nice treats you brought). You have been inspiring the way you have gone about the whole process of learning to drive - I've learnt a lot from you about dedication. Well done Susan, I've had such fun. Keep in touch! PS thank you for the kind gifts, the cake was AMAZING. Alex

DAVID JONKER excellent driving instructor

DAVID JONKER is absolutely an excellent instructor with patience and ensures to find tune your area of weakness, I only had very few classes with him but I've been lucky to have him as my instructor and thankful to him for transforming me into confident driver on the road. I have passed my exam in first attempt in my own car and I truly enjoyed entire experience of learning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Best Driving Instructor In Southport!!

I came to Alex with zero experience with driving and I left with the upmost confidence any driver could have. He hasn’t just taught me how to drive, but he’s also taught me life lessons and how to control certain situations that I can use in day to day life (not just driving!) I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, I have accomplished so many new things whilst with Alex, I highly recommend The Green Cat. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me Alex, it’s definitely a bitter sweet goodbye but I hope to see you around 🚗🚗

I would highly recommend Alex and The Green Cat to anyone wanting driving lessons. From my first lesson to my last I couldn’t have asked for any better. Alex always tailored lessons to best fit my ability, allowing me to progress quickly and made me feel comfortable and safe the whole time. Alex was extremely patient and supportive throughout my time with The Green Cat which really helped me stay calm in stressful situations. Massive thank you to Alex as without him I wouldn’t have been able to pass first time.

Just passed with Dave

Just passed with Dave! He’s not only a great instructor who was patient and kept me calm whilst teaching me what I needed to know for my test, but he is also just an overall amazing person who was somehow able to deal with me non stop talking for 2 straight hours a week. With his help I passed my theory and test first time! A first class instructor who I would recommend to everyone as couldn’t have done it without him. 😁
