A+++++
I had a great experience with the Green Cat and Alex. I’m 32 and put off driving for a long time and I was quite apprehensive about it but found Alex really helpful. A+++++

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

The instructor was extremely helpful and played a significant role in my preparation for the driving test. They not only provided clear and detailed instructions but also took the time to explain each concept thoroughly, ensuring I fully understood the rules of the road and driving techniques. Their patience and encouragement boosted my confidence, and the practical tips they shared were instrumental in helping me pass the test.

Amazing
Amazing. Alex has completely changed me from being a terrified driver to passing today with no minors. He has been so supportive and helped me overcome so many insecurities I had with driving. I have felt safe on the road and feel confident on my abilities now. Thank you Alex for everything.

Passed first time with Alex :)
Alex is the BEST driving instructor out there, he really took the fear and anxiety out of driving for me and I was able to pass first time which is something I’d never believe could happen before I got in his car. Looking forward to motorway lessons when uni ends!

Excellent organisation
The Green Cat Driving School is an excellent organisation. Alex is a fantastic teacher with impressive technical knowledge, while also being hugely supportive. As someone who put off learning to drive for a few years, I was thankful for Alex who immediately put me at ease and supported my driving journey, resulting in a first time pass! I am very grateful for such a positive experience and couldn’t recommend enough!

Best instructor
My driving instructor, Alex, is the best instructor out there in my opinion. He would make sure that I was confident especially on manoeuvres which was my struggle point. He would make sure that I was prepared and ready for my test which all paid off. I would recommend 100%.

I went from a nervous learner to a confident driver
I've passed my test today and I could not be happier. I had experience of learning from 20 years ago, and from fifteen years ago and had very little confidence. Alex was a very calm, patient and reassuring instructor and helped me tackle my psychological blind spots as well as teaching me well to check the physical ones (always looking for bikes and babies...).
He is direct, but fair, and strives to make the most of each individual learners strengths, experience and learning style.
I really felt like I was preparing to be a safe (and eco) driver for life. Thank you so much!

Good teacher
David helps me on the details on driving, he is patient, when I missed some of details, he encouraged me do better and don't miss next time; he praise when I did right. He also gives me some tips on how to pass the test. Good teacher.

Excellent experience
Alex is a great instructor - patient, supportive and easy-going. The Green Cat Driving School has been super flexible throughout and made booking and rescheduling the test a breeze. Thank you!

Worth the wait!
After having an awful experience with a previous driving school, we went on the list for The Green Cat. My son started learning with Dave Jonkers and he has renewed my faith in mankind! He provided great tips for getting through the theory test and has been really patient and supportive of my son. Dave is very knowledgeable of the area and his advice and guidance has been first rate. My son has gained so much confidence in the time that Dave has been teaching him and, now that he has passed his test, Dave has given him the keys to independence. I cannot recommend him enough.
