Driving & Classroom Instructor - TX
About The Position
Coastline Academy is hiring a Driving & Classroom Instructor to teach students practical driving skills and road rules, build their confidence, and help them become safe drivers. Most students are teenagers learning to drive, while some are adults preparing for a road test. Instruction takes place in a company-provided vehicle equipped with a second instructor brake and inspected by certified mechanics. Lessons are recorded with dashcams that capture video and audio inside and outside the car. The company pays for instructor certification and provides coursework and guidance through state licensing requirements. Paid training totals 30 hours: 18 hours of self-paced virtual learning from home and 12 hours of hands-on driving and practical mentorship. The hands-on portion includes shadowing six hours of live in-car lessons and receiving six hours of direct coaching from a Certified Trainer. Instructors do not conduct lessons alone with a student until they are ready. Schedules follow student demand, which is concentrated in afternoons and weekends because many students are in school. A typical day consists of three two-hour lessons.
