About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking instructors for part-time, independent contractor assignments delivering business, entrepreneurship, finance, and financial literacy enrichment to elementary, middle, and high school students. Programs take place in person at partner schools and community-based locations. Assignments are offered throughout the school year according to partner needs and may last approximately 8–10 weeks, typically involving 1–4 instructional hours per week. Curriculum, topics, grade levels, objectives, schedules, locations, and assignment duration vary. Traditional classroom teaching experience is not required for every program; relevant experience may come from business, finance, education, coaching, tutoring, mentoring, youth programs, or other professional settings. Compensation is usually $50–$65 per instructional hour, but varies by assignment and location; specific terms are provided before an instructor accepts an assignment. Applying or completing screening and onboarding does not guarantee an assignment, minimum hours, future work, or continued engagement. Assignment offers may depend on program availability, qualifications, scheduling compatibility, school-partner requirements or approval, and completion of legally required screening or clearance.
