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 :)

Angelique

Extremely supportive and positive experience with Paul. Warm teaching approach and genuinely wishing the best for his drivers. Coming from no driving experience i can now say i feel confident to become an independent driver.

Angus

Brilliant instructor! Paul was amazing and super friendly, would highly recommend. Passed first time because of him, thank you Paul.

Antoinette-Mum of Elliot and Toby

Amazing experience with PriPlus School of Motoring. Both of my sons had lessons with Paul Johnson and both passed first time - in quick succession. With him I feel that they have had the best start to their driving journey and have learnt far more than I expected to be able to keep safe on the road. I would totally recommend Paul and PriPlus and can’t thank him enough for all the patience and effort he has put in to teaching them to become competent and confident drivers. Thank you!

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 PriPlus School of Motoring. 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!

Diana

I have recently taken refresher driving lessons with Paul and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. My objective was to gain confidence and drive independently, especially on A roads, motorways, town driving and more complex routes (including large roundabouts and busy junctions) and feel less intimidated by all the different processes involved; Paul made that possible in a very supportive and professional way.

All the lessons were tailored to my needs, focusing on a broad range of driving techniques, motorway driving, and navigating different driving set ups (town driving, parking, narrow roads with parked cars etc). Paul was incredibly patient and calm (even when I made mistakes), explained everything clearly, and helped me feel completely at ease behind the wheel. Each lesson was structured, informative, and full of useful tips that made a real difference in my driving.

I now feel confident driving alone, thanks to Paul’s guidance. For anyone looking for a driving school that truly helps them achieve their objectives while making them feel relaxed and supported, I couldn’t recommend Paul highly enough! Many thanks!

Eddie

Paul was a wonderful instructor. He went out of his way to make sure I felt comfortable in the car all the way from the first lesson to passing my test. All his instructions were easy to pick up and follow, and all our lessons were good fun.

Edward

Absolutely great instructor and person, very kind, funny and understanding. Paul made the process very enjoyable and I looked forward to getting in the car each time.

Elliot

Excellent instructor and super friendly, taught me everything very clearly and had a great time while doing it. I recommend with all my heart.

Emma-Kitty's mum

Our daughter has been under the guidance of Paul, as a complete novice learner driver for the last few months. Paul has been AMAZING! He is kind, supportive and encouraging and I highly recommend this learner driver school. Our daughter passed first time and no doubts this is because she was made to feel confident and able behind the wheel. I thoroughly recommend PriPlus School of Motoring Chichester. 🥚👌

Harrison

Many thanks to Paul, bonded really well with him and is an amazing instructor, has a great eye for details but also keeps a relaxed atmosphere in the car.

Pleasure driving with him and would recommend him to anybody

You want to pass your test. He's your man. Thank you Paul

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!!!!!!

James

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!

James

Paul was fantastic - not only does he know his stuff inside out but can get through to teenagers with fast results.

Jamie

Excellent driving instructor. My son learned to drive well - and safely! They got on really well so he looked forward to his lessons. I would highly recommend Paul!

Paul is a brilliant driving instructor, so very helpful when learning to drive and pass your test, very clear and confidence inspiring instructor!

Joel

Best of the best. Paul is a brilliant driving instructor who helped me pass my test first time. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Paul from start to finish, I would highly recommend.

Kate for her son Eddie

Paul is an amazing driving instructor. He went above and beyond to provide the support that he knew my son would need leading up to his test. Dedicated lessons offered near to the test centre, being there for him on the test day itself and of course expert tuition from the first lesson to the last.
My son learned to drive exceptionally quickly with Paul who has years of experience and a lovely calm, measured approach to teaching people to drive.

Louis

I couldn't have asked for a better learning experience from my driving instructor Paul. 

He was always incredibly supportive and patient with me on my lessons. I would highly recommend Paul as an instructor and would happily do this experience again. Thank you Paul

Lucy

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!

Mikky

Paul was such an amazing instructor, I couldn't have passed first time without him! Can't recommend him enough!!

Ned

Learning was a great experience. I'd do it again but I past my 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.

Poonsup


Paul was brilliant , incredible and flexible instructor. He’s kind, calm and knowledgeable.  At my first lesson he taught me new skills and corrected my bad habits also trusted and believed that I could be pass my driving test.

The most important thing is he highly gained my self confidence on driving and I can't thank him enough for the lessons and his kindness. I really enjoyed every lesson.



Silas

With Paul as my instructor I got great teaching as well explaining clearly the concepts of driving and how to manoeuvre the car so that you become a safe and competent driver. I passed with 0 faults after having Paul as my driving instructor so it shows that his teaching works effectively. Highly recommend.

Ted

Great instructor, helped me throughout my journey of driving - Taught me all manoeuvres and safety on the Road, highly recommend to any learner driver out there.

Theo

Thank you very much Paul for helping me pass my driving test. You're such a nice and funny guy. Wishing you all the best.

Tilly

Paul is an utterly brilliant instructor. I’d rather crazily booked the test prior to my daughter even starting lessons so it was a big ask to get her test ready in 4 weeks. However, nothing was too big an issue and he seemed unphased by this. My daughter hugely enjoyed his lessons - he always remained patient, calm and kind - and therefore she became a confident and comfortable driver very quickly. I can’t thank Paul enough for all his support and can not recommend him highly enough.

Toby

Passed first time with Paul, incredibly good instructor, would 110% recommend for anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Toby

I passed my driving test today, thanks to Paul. He’s been a brilliant instructor; always calm, funny and incredibly supportive. I would recommend Paul to anyone, and I’m extremely grateful to him.
