I highly recommend The Green Cat Driving School, I have had the best driving experience over the recent months with... Alex. With the current circumstances that we have and are facing each day, Alex has gone over and above to ensure my test and driving experience flowed smoothly. With Alex’s help I have passed both my theory and driving test first time and cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me!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

Learning to drive with Alex will be the best decision you make this year! Not only is Alex’s knowledge and... understanding of the road second to none, his nice genuine nature creates a great no pressure environment to learn how to drive comfortably and at your own pace. I looked forward to every lesson, with Alex instilling safety and confidence in my driving; at an affordable rate too! Thanks to Alex, I’ve passed my driving test with only 4 driving faults and will be recommending him to family, friends and anyone considering learning to drive.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

Can not thank Alex enough for helping me pass my driving test. After starting driving in January, I struggled to find a... instructor that was able to teach me properly and then came across Alex when I moved to Southport. He is so patient and understanding and let’s you make your own mistakes in order to not do them again rather than telling you everything all the time. Thank you so much for helping me pass my driving test in time for going to uni. Would definitely recommend to anybody. Thanks again Alex xread 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

Take a look at our top of the range tuition vehicle.
The tuition vehicle is a dual controlled SEAT Ibiza SE Technology, with a manual transmission. The vehicle is supremely maintained, and is always immaculate both inside and out. Hygiene is always taken seriously, and the interior touch points are cleaned with anti-bacterial products after every lesson, with hand gel sanitiser available to every customer.
To add to the above, we have our own Covid-19 specific safety precautions which we feel are very robust and industry leading. You can find more information about our Covid-19 process, including the risk assessment here. Prospective students or parents are always welcome to give us a call to discuss these precautions directly.
