driving instructor

Behind-the-wheel teacher

A driving instructor is a person who teaches others to drive a motor vehicle, typically preparing students for their driving test.

Most work for driving schools or operate independently, taking students through both the rules of the road and hands-on practice: My driving instructor made me parallel park until I could do it in my sleep.
