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. 👍read more

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

I started my lessons with Alex just before covid hit and finished by passing my test today. Alex is a fantastic... instructor, at not only getting you ready for your test but also ensuring you will be a safe driver when you are on the roads alone. He goes through everything step by step to ensure you are confident in every aspect of driving. I couldn’t possibly recommend the Green Cat driving school any higher.read more

I highly recommend Alex and The Green Cat Driving School. I am a qualified driver but had never been on a motorway and... so reached out for the support. Alex was so accommodating and was able to find the time to help me. I felt so at ease and comfortable in what I thought would’ve been a scary environment but I was able to learn so much and now feel safer for having the lesson. Thank you so much for your help Alex 😊read more

I cannot recommend The Green Cat Driving School enough. Alex is hugely patient, knowledgable and approachable so made... what was quite a steep learning curve for me a truly enjoyable experience.
His approach is not just making sure you pass the practical exam, but that you have the skills to be a competent, safe, and independent driver for life. That is invaluable.
I appreciated Alex’s adaptability when teaching - if I was struggling with something he was kind, patient but always had a different approach for us to try. I really felt like the lessons were tailored to me and my situation and that real thought had gone into what we covered and how.
Huge thank you for all of your help. I wouldn’t have got there without you and I definitely wouldn’t feel as confident getting into a car by myself without the solid start The Green Cat Driving School has given me.read more

Having started from scratch, with no previous driving experience, in just a few months was able to pass my test first... time with only 3 driving faults! This is down to Alex's excellent teaching process and work ethic complimented by a great knowledge of not only the skills needed to drive but on a personal level with you as a student; with a precise approach to situations based on how you learn best and not a one shoe fits all mentality. This enables you to learn and adapt comfortably in any situation. I would highly recomend Alex to anyone looking to learn to drive, no matter the skills level!read more

Done 30+ hours with Alex and can tell you that he’s patient and very helpful. Often find myself doubting myself and... asking loads of questions. Alex makes sure that I feel confident and knows the answers to most questions and even if he isn’t sure he will stop with you, so that you can find the answer together, so that you’ll know to do in that scenario should it ever arise again. Would deffo recommend Alex! 👍read more
