England are desperate to get Panesar, who has taken just six first-class wickets this season, in form ahead of the Ashes first Test at Cardiff next week.
The Northamptonshire spinner is playing in England's warm-up game against Warwickshire and ha
s vowed to get back to basics to revive his flagging form.
Under Fletcher Panesar became the best finger-spinner in the world, but the 27-year-old lost his way with Peter Moores in charge.
Now back in the England fold with new man Flower, Panesar is relishing the freedom given to him
Panesar said: "I have got the opportunity to work closely with Andy Flower, who I think is a thoughtful and intelligent man. He's able to give you the space to actually work things out for yourself. I had similar success with Duncan Fletcher.
"I think sometimes if there's too much information being put to you it can actually overload you and you can be confused with what you're doing. The space that tends to gives you helps you to work things out for yourself."
Panesar's cult status since joining the Test side has at times been overwhelming, and the spinner admitted the time away from international cricket has afforded him the rare opportunity to decompress.
"I enjoyed the time out because it gave me the space to do my own thing and my own training," he said. "One of the challenges I've had at Northants is I've had four-day games, one-day games and Twenty20 games. In ideal world I would like to play back-to-back four-day games and get myself into a good rhythm. That has been quite testing, trying to adapt from one form to another form."
