The Opportunity
We're currently looking for instructors who can help with evening classes, with an especially strong interest in adding weekend availability as our schedule grows.
This may begin with a limited number of classes and/or substitute opportunities, with the potential for additional regular classes as Dripping Sweat continues to grow.
Instructors will have flexibility to bring their own personality and coaching style to class while maintaining Dripping Sweat's standards for safety, quality and client experience.
- $25-35/class depending on experience

Instructor Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a instructor in Texas?
The path depends on the setting. For K-12 public schools, you must hold a Texas teaching certificate issued by the Texas Education Agency, which requires a bachelor's degree, an approved educator preparation program, and passing the appropriate Texas Examinations of Educator Standards tests. For community college or corporate instructor roles, a subject-matter credential or industry certification in your field is typically required instead of state licensure.
Which companies hire instructors in Texas?
Companies currently hiring instructors in Texas include El Paso Community College, YMCA of Greater Houston, and Life Time, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's large community college networks, major health systems, and Fortune 500 corporate training divisions are among the most consistent sources of full-time instructor openings in the state.
Which Texas cities have the most instructor jobs?
Houston, Austin, and San Antonio have the most instructor openings in Texas. Houston's size and its concentration of medical centers, energy companies, and Houston ISD drive the largest share of postings, while Dallas-Fort Worth's corporate headquarters and community college network and San Antonio's military-affiliated education programs and Alamo Colleges system keep those metros consistently active.
Are there remote instructor jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in fully desk-based fields because much instructor work involves in-person facilitation, labs, or hands-on demonstration. About 11% of instructor openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with online course delivery and corporate e-learning development roles being the most likely to allow fully remote arrangements.
How can I get hired as a instructor in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a teaching associate or instructional aide role at a Texas community college or large school district, which lets you build classroom hours while working toward full certification. Houston ISD, Dallas ISD, and the Alamo Colleges system run structured residency and alternative certification programs for candidates entering through the Texas Education Agency's registered educator preparation programs. Completing even one approved practicum placement and passing the relevant Texas Examinations of Educator Standards test significantly strengthens early applications.
Where can I find and apply to instructor jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to instructor jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the roles that fit your experience and subject area, then apply directly to the ones that match.
