MENTOR AND TEACH YOUNG DRIVERS

Defensive Driving Academy is a Pennsylvania driving school dedicated to teaching new drivers in Delaware County, Chester County, and Montgomery County to become safe, responsible, confident drivers.

OPEN POSITION:

DDA currently has a limited number of driving instructor positions available. Ideal candidates are those who enjoy helping people, especially young people, and believe they have what it takes to become that next great driving instructor, or "DDA Coach." Of course, teaching, coaching, instructing, law enforcement, truck driving, license testing, CDL, fleet, or driving instructor experience of any kind is great, but only a great personality and strong desire to mentor young drivers is required.

WE OFFER:

• Flexible Hours - tell us what days and times are best for you, or
• Earn a higher rate by letting us schedule your hours
• Our cars are on the road 7 days a week
• Paid Training - No experience required

DRIVING INSTRUCTOR - This position requires the ability to communicate, correct and connect. We provide fully insured driving school cars with dual braking and gas. The best driving instructors truly enjoy teaching, and possess the ability to remain firm with parents who sometimes forget our rules and guidelines. Part-time instructors can create their own schedule, or choose to earn a higher rate by allowing us to schedule their hours. The demand for DDA instruction is very high, and we're always booked out 3-4 weeks, so driving instructors can increase their hours at any time. Exceptional instructors will ultimately be eligible to advance into other administrative positions, become supervisors, license testers, or management as our company continues to grow and expand.
