The word 'Fahrlehrer' (driving instructor) is made up of the words 'fahren' (to drive) and 'Lehrer' (teacher). So it literally describes a person who teaches driving.
Ein guter Fahrlehrer erklärt die Verkehrsregeln verständlich.
A good driving instructor explains the traffic rules clearly.
A 'Fahrlehrer' (driving instructor) works at a 'Fahrschule' (driving school). He 'gibt Fahrstunden' (gives driving lessons) and 'bereitet' Fahrschüler 'auf die Prüfung vor' (prepares learner drivers for the test).
Ich nehme bei meinem Fahrlehrer zweimal pro Woche Fahrstunden.
I take driving lessons with my driving instructor twice a week.
To express who you are learning to drive with, the preposition 'bei' is often used.

'Ausbilder' and 'Fahrlehrer' both refer to people who teach others something. The difference is the area. An 'Ausbilder' works in vocational training, for example at a company, and supervises trainees. A 'Fahrlehrer' teaches people how to drive a car or another motor vehicle and prepares them for the driving test. So a driving instructor is a special kind of teacher for driving, but you would normally not simply call him an 'Ausbilder' when talking about driving school.
Ben fährt langsam an, weil der Fahrlehrer neben ihm genaue Anweisungen gibt.
