French Language Instructor – K–12 Enrichment Programs

Concorde Education•New York, NY

6d•$50 - $100•Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide French language enrichment services for K–12 students at partner schools. Assignments are in person and vary by school, grade level, schedule, curriculum, student proficiency, available resources, and program objectives. Programs commonly run for approximately 10 weeks, with typically 1–4 instructional service hours per week after school. Opportunities become available throughout the school year. Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate French enrichment sessions, introduce language skills and French-speaking cultures, adapt instruction to students and assignment requirements, and maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive learning environment. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson suggestions, resources, activity ideas, or program objectives; contractors may adapt instruction using professional judgment within the assignment scope and site requirements. This is a potential independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities. Compensation varies by assignment and agreed contractor terms. Many opportunities pay $50 or more per completed instructional service hour with students; the posting lists a salary range of $50–$100 per hour. Contractors may propose a rate, subject to acceptance or counteroffer. Unless otherwise approved in writing, compensation is based on completed instructional service hours with students. Payment is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following the month services were completed, subject to assignment terms and applicable law. Applicants selected to proceed may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete onboarding. Applying or completing onboarding does not guarantee selection, placement, or future assignments. Assignments may require background-check authorization, fingerprinting, agency clearance, site-specific documentation, identification badges, or other compliance steps before services begin. Assignments are subject to fit, agreed compensation, onboarding, applicable background-check review, required clearance, and final written confirmation. Concorde Education states that it considers applicants without regard to statuses protected by applicable law and is committed to respectful, inclusive, student-centered programming.
