Driving Instructor/Teacher

Love teaching, have energy to spare, and know how to keep a room full of people engaged? We should talk.

At Jungle Driving School, we turn beginners into safe, confident drivers. We’re looking for upbeat people who can command a classroom, coach students through new skills, and keep their cool when someone asks the same question for the third time.

If you’ve ever taught a class, coached a team, led a training session, or helped someone master a skill, you may have exactly what we’re looking for. You don’t need to have been a driving instructor before. We’ll help you get the required training and certification.

The ideal candidate can bring the energy, explain things clearly, make learning enjoyable, and take safety seriously. Bonus points if you can make defensive driving interesting. Yes, it can be done.

No previous driving instructor experience is required. We are willing to invest in the right candidates through required instructor certification training.

What You’ll Do

• Bring the classroom to life. Lead lessons, deliver presentations, encourage participation, and keep students engaged through extended instructional sessions. Your audience may not always be thrilled about traffic laws, so a little charisma goes a long way.
• Coach from the passenger seat. Teach driving techniques, give clear directions, offer constructive feedback, and help students build confidence one drive at a time. Patience is essential. So is a good set of nerves.
• Make safety stick. Teach Texas traffic laws, defensive driving, hazard awareness, and smart decision-making. We’re preparing people for real roads, not just helping them pass a test.
• Connect with students and parents. Meet students where they are, celebrate progress, address areas for improvement, and communicate professionally with parents.
• Bring positive energy every day. We want instructors who are approachable, dependable, encouraging, and able to keep things upbeat while maintaining high standards.
