Mentorship Matters: How Instructors at Our Auto Mechanic School Champion Your Success

At ATC Cambridge, mentorship is the foundation of our auto mechanic school. For students dreaming of hands-on careers in the automotive field, having expert instructors makes all the difference in how well they learn, how confident they feel, and how ready they are for the real world.

We believe experienced mentors are essential to quality auto mechanic training, and our students agree. From building technical skills to boosting confidence, the right instructor can shape your entire learning journey. Here’s how our instructors at ATC Cambridge do just that.

Real Industry Experience You Can Trust

Our instructors are not just teachers, they’re seasoned professionals who bring decades of industry experience into the classroom and shop. This real-world knowledge means students learn from experts who’ve done the work themselves. For student Tyler Arena, this was a game changer.

“These teachers here, they’ve been in this automotive field for years and years, so they know what they’re talking about,” Tyler says. “They teach students everything, from in-depth engines to wheel alignments to everything. My experience here in just a couple of months has been great. I’m loving it.” 

Having instructors who understand every aspect of auto repair, because they’ve lived it, helps students trust the material and feel supported every step of the way.

Motivating Through Mentorship

It’s not just about what instructors teach; it’s how they engage with students. Zoey Benoit highlights the importance of that connection.

“I find it is so important because the more engaged they are with you, the more you’re engaged with them,” she says. Zoey credits her instructor, Rick, with helping her stay focused and motivated throughout her time at ATC. “He’s amazing. He’s always putting his best foot forward and always creating such an amazing environment for us,” she explains. It just keeps you going when you have someone like that guiding you.

This kind of mentorship fosters technical learning and helps students develop confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for the field.

Building Confidence for the Future

Brady Kinslow also emphasizes the impact of learning from someone knowledgeable and supportive.

“I got a great instructor, Paul. He’s one of the best automotive mechanics I’ve ever come across,” he says. “He’s very knowledgeable… I can’t wait to learn more from him.” Brady credits Paul with helping him feel ready for life after graduation. “He’s always willing to help you, and that goes a long way in the trade,” he says. From diagnostics to customer service tips, Paul’s mentorship is helping Brady develop into a well-rounded mechanic.

At ATC, our instructors don’t just prepare you for your next test, they prepare you for your next job.
