Automotive Technology Teachers

Try to gain as much experience as possible repairing cars. An after-school job in a repair shop or dealership will provide you with a good introduction to the world of automotives. Try to get teaching experience working as a volunteer at summer camp or as tutor.

To be a successful automotive teacher, you need to be an expert in automotive technology and related fields. People skills are important because you'll be dealing directly with students, administrators, and other faculty members on a daily basis. You should feel comfortable in a role of authority and possess self-confidence. Other important traits include organizational ability, patience, good listening skills, and strong time-management skills
