How do driving instructors get paid?

Driving instructors typically get paid hourly. Your pay is based on the number of hours you spend providing students with classroom instruction and hands-on driving experience. In hourly positions, you can often earn overtime pay. Depending on your employer, you may receive your paychecks weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Some employers pay driving instructors per course, with bonuses based on the number of students who enroll in a particular training program or profit sharing on a quarterly or annual basis.
