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 for the first time, 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 by dashcams that capture video and audio inside and outside the car. The company pays for instructor certification and provides state licensing coursework and training. Training totals 30 hours: 18 hours of self-paced virtual learning from home and 12 hours of hands-on driving and mentorship. The practical training includes shadowing six hours of live in-car lessons and completing six hours of direct coaching with a Certified Trainer. Instructors do not conduct lessons alone with students until they are ready. Schedules follow student demand, which is concentrated in afternoons and weekends because most students are in school. A typical day consists of three two-hour lessons. The role also involves documenting student progress, communicating with a supervisor and support team, attending team meetings and development activities, and maintaining professionalism in interactions with students and teammates.
