Manual Driving Lessons in Fernhurst, Haslemere & Godalming

First Lesson Free- As a welcome to my new drivers I am currently offering you a one-hour driving lesson free when you book your first ten hours with me

Growing up in rural Cheshire, I started driving at the very young age of 12 (private land of course...!) passing my car test straight after my 17th birthday. I then swiftly passed my motorbike licence and soon after my HGV.

With my HGV licence under my belt, I rapidly gained a huge amount of experience including several years driving trucks across Europe and then after relocating South, I drove airside at Heathrow – we moved everything from F1 cars to Red Cross parcels, we even moved a live Tiger...! From this point I studied for my logistics qualification, passing my transport manager's certificate and a career in senior management followed.

My first experience of teaching someone to drive was with my daughter, now in her twenties. Having enjoyed teaching her to drive so much, I decided to make a career change and have thoroughly enjoyed this ever since.

To develop new drivers to not only pass their driving tests but to be safe drivers on our busy road network is highly satisfying and important to me. I aim to present my lessons in a fun and effective style because I know that if your lessons are fun you will learn quicker and to a deeper level. The benefit of this approach is that you will be a considerably safer driver. Eco-safe driving is a speciality I can teach you to save fuel by driving safely and efficiently.

Attention to detail is also one of my strong points as I believe that this leads to a higher standard of driving for all my pupils. Adapting my teaching skills to suit your learning style enables me to teach you quickly and effectively as we all learn in different ways.

I do have a limited amount of availability at weekends as I know when you are working full time or in full-time education it is not always possible to get time off in the week.

For your first lesson call 0333 772 9842

I look forward to meeting you soon and getting you to pass your Driving Test and becoming a safe driver.

What students said about learning with Paul Johnson

Alex

I had Paul as my instructor and had an amazing experience. He is always kind and funny, even when making (many) mistakes. He taught me not just how to pass the test, but how to be a great driver in general. He was very flexible with timings and even picked me up at 5:30am on test day so I could get warmed up!
Thank you so much for all your help, Paul!

Alex

Paul is a fantastic instructor and an even better guy. So informative and patient with you, gives great and helpful feedback whilst always remaining calm and upbeat. Passed first time and all thanks to him. Couldn’t recommend enough top man.

Alice

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Paul, who was very engaging and accommodating (he is able to pick up from various locations and is very flexible with timings). The learning process can be daunting, but Paul has always remained calm, providing constructive feedback when necessary and encouragement for good progress. Thank you so much :)

Bella

Paul was an absolutely brilliant, patient and encouraging instructor for our daughter. A very lovely way with him that is able to give the students confidence and calmness. We’ve had instructors before with our other children but Paul definitely is in a league of his own and enable our daughter to pass first time.

Ben

Thank you so much Paul, can't put into words how happy and grateful for you helping me pass today

Bex

I couldn't recommend Paul highly enough. Throughout our lessons, he has taken the time to explain how things work in the car, on the road, and has over the months built my confidence in driving which I'm extremely grateful for. The test preparation we did was super helpful and I'm overjoyed at passing my test on the first go. Thank you Paul for teaching me how to drive, and for the kindness and patience you have demonstrated throughout. It truly means the world.

Charlie

Amazing experience with Prime Driving School. Never a boring lesson.

Claire

Wow... I honestly couldn't rate Paul highly enough! I passed my driving test 8 years ago and up until recently, not been back in the driver's seat since the day of my test (meaning that my confidence with driving has been very low).

I booked 2 refresher lessons with Paul, and immediately he managed to put my mind at ease, and made the whole experience of driving again really enjoyable. He explained things in a way that really resonated with me, and made things that previously seemed a huge challenge feel really simple - something that my original driving instructor hadn't managed to do.

Paul really let me lead the way, whilst bringing so much positivity and enthusiasm to our lessons, meaning that I'm now really excited to get back in the car again! 

10/10 experience, and such a game changer for me moving forward. Thank you so much Paul!

Harrison

Pleasure driving with him and would recommend him to anybody

Jake

Best driving instructor ever!!!!!! Paul is kind, patient, funny and puts the student completely at their ease. He goes above and beyond what you could ever expect. He also trains for real life driving along with passing the test(which they will with Paul!). You simply could not book a better driving instructor than Paul, he is absolutely fantastic!!!! We can't thank him enough!!!!!!

A brilliant service both socially and practically through the depth of knowledge that my instructor, Paul, was able to share about my local area and the exact test routes themselves: Would definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful time learning to drive with Paul. On top of being an excellent teacher, he was extremely accommodating, picking me up from multiple different locations and being very flexible with timings. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and I am very grateful to have had him as my instructor. Thank you, Paul :)

Luke

I would highly recommend going with Paul for your driving lessons. My son recently passed his test having learned to drive with Paul. My son looked forward to every lesson and rapidly improved as the lessons progressed. My daughter turns 17 in a year and a half and we will be reaching out to Paul again to help her pass her test!

Oliver

Paul is a brilliant instructor, he built up my son’s confidence when out driving and was also really flexible when lessons had to be changed at short notice. Highly recommend.
