Amazing driving instructor

My driving instructor Dave was an absolute joy to have. He is highly professional and everything Learner could ask for. He was able to help me get through the driving experience as quickly and safely as possible. Never holding me back from progressing. And ensuring I pass the best I can. He’s easy to talk to and easy to work with. The car was always pristine and in great condition so driving lessons never felt like a burden or something to be feared. Couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor or driving school. I’d highly recommend.

Really well done Joel, you were a model student. Your application was always 2nd to none, very impressive. Best of luck for your future endeavours. David

Couldn’t have asked for better!

I started lessons with Dave in December, since then I have had such an increase in my confidence, abilities and all around attitude for driving. Dave has been great, he’s reassuring and understanding. Lesson after lesson he will send any resources in any areas you’re struggling with to just give that extra bit of help, paying attention to specific needs instead of generalising. I felt very anxious before my test and he went out of his way to message with reassurance and send across anything he thought would help - which did - I passed first time! Not only is he a great driving instructor, but a great person too, he was very personable and made the experience so much better, having chats about life to ease that pressure off being all about driving. I’m very grateful to have met and be taught by Dave, he’s well deserving of all praise - which I can’t give enough of! Thanks Dave :)

Great Driving Lessons With Dave

Would recommend Dave at The Green Cat Driving School, he is a great driving instructor from the very first lesson, I felt comfortable and at ease, Dave is very patient and explained everything in detail, he would go through any mistakes with you and explain on how to improve on them.
Dave provided lots of information for the theory test and we did lots of practice for the driving test, he provides lots of video clips to watch.
Dave comes across really well and very professional, when explaining things to you, we had some great chats too would definitely recommend Dave, I am so glad I chose to learn to drive with him.
Thank you so much for everything

Motorway lessons

I just recently passed my test, and decided to take motorway lessons, it was 100% worth doing these lessons as i had learnt so much from just 1 lesson! This has made me feel so confident driving on the motorway! All thanks to Alex!

Dave was really nice, calm and always helpful. The best decision for me was to join Green Cat for my driving lessons. Thank you Dave for keeping faith on me and teaching all the manoeuvres and numerous mock tests. Thank you again.

Carolyn, this first time pass was utterly deserved. You worked incredibly hard during our lessons and I couldn’t be prouder at your progress. You’re a fabulous driver and you can now spread your wings and explore with the family.
It’s been a pleasure, safe driving - Lauren

Can't recommend the Green Cat enough!!!

Alex is such a great driving instructor. He was born to do this job. He's such a relaxing, calm and competent person who focuses on what you do best, and every mistake is seen as something to work on without making you feel bad about yourself. I've never, EVER, come home sad or disappointed after a driving lesson with him. I used to come home always confident and happy. If you're looking for an awesome driving school just send a message to the Green Cat, I hope more people will contact them because the world needs more good and safe drivers. Thanks Alex, being your student has been an absolute joy and I will miss our Beatles chats!!!

Thanks so much Gin for the lovely words! It's certainly been a magical mystery tour, I hope you don't let me down with the mirror checks. The day before yesterday was a special day in the life for you, and you needed little help in passing your test. Sadly all things must pass, and our time is done, and this is the end. I suppose you are now free as a bird to get back to the long and winding road.

Anyway, in all seriousness (I'm stuck for more Beatles songs), congratulations on the test, you did a wonderful job. Remember to give me a wave on the road. Thank you! Alex

PS there is 10 songs in this :)

My Green Cat Driving School Experience

I was having driving lessons from just after turning 17 on September 12th until I passed my practical exam on January 26th. From my very first lesson, starting with little to no knowledge on driving, Alex was perfect in helping me learn and advancing my driving while always making me feel comfortable and in control. They were always very friendly and eager for me to get better lesson by lesson. Booking lessons was also very simple as we would go through all the available time slots and choose which ones would suit me best. They also gave me access to an app called Theory Test Pro which really helped me revise for my theory and pass it first time. After all my practice and my instructor helping with any questions or queries I had about my practical exam, I was able to pass it first time.
Overall it was a very great experience and I couldn’t have asked for any better. 👍

Great Driving lessons

My driving instructor, Dave, explained how to do each manoeuvre very well and helped to build my confidence driving on busy roads at busier times . Lessons where great and lessons before the driving test included mock tests which allowed to me work on my weaknesses before the actual test and ensured I got few driving faults .

10/10 excellent team and experience

couldn't rate Alex at green cat D.S more highly. Alex was able to support me to achieve a first time pass in a short time and made me feel comfortable and well supported and ensured I was ready for my test. Alex and the team are a solid 10/10 for me and I can't thank him and the team enough for my journey with them.

Thank you
Lee 😁✌️

I would highly recommend the Green Cat Driving School.

I would highly recommend the Green Cat Driving School. I have had lessons with Alex, and more recently with Dave after coming back from University. They are both incredibly supportive and patient instructors. I really cannot fault the Green Cat Driving school in any way. Both instructors were always on time for lessons, had a great understanding of the roads, and were just great people to chat with whilst driving! I'd like to say a big thanks to Dave for giving me real confidence in my driving ability, and it was a real pleasure to meet you. Thanks to Dave, I was able to pass my driving test the first time! Big thanks to the Green Cat Driving School for all its help!

Awesome experience with the greencat driving school

My experience with the greencat driving school was one to remember from the very being I felt welcome by my driving instructor Dave who helped me gain the skills I would need in order to be a successful driver. Dave is a wonderful driving instructor to have because he was friendly, funny and kind and he made me feel at ease from the get go which allowed me and Dave to have a great laugh in our lessons and build a fab bond with one another which would make it easier to improve in my early months of learning to drive.
