I am a student- teacher and commute close to 60 miles each time I go into the school. Are these mile deductible? (This is at the graduate level for education)

I commute from home to student teaching and then to work or graduate night classes. I have been told that my miles are considered personal commute (non-deductible) and others have said they're deductible because they are work related (in pursuit of a career). I am looking for a definite answer to this.

COMMUTING EXPENSES

The expenses of commuting to and from work (or to and from school) such as gas, tolls, bus fare, train fare, taxis, Uber rides, parking, etc. are not deductible on your Federal return.  Sorry.

Note:  You can, however, claim expenses for travel between job sites
