How to be a good driving instructor?

Career: Driving Instructor

To be a good driving instructor, you must also be a good driver and have experience driving the types of vehicles you are teaching students to drive, whether that is a car, motorcycle, bus, or semi-truck. Make your students feel safe and comfortable learning to drive; inexperienced drivers are often nervous when they are in the driver’s seat. Teach students driver safety habits, defensive driving techniques, and state traffic laws. Driving instruction also includes classroom lessons, so practice public speaking skills and giving presentations.
