K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • New York, NY

23d • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking qualified independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based enrichment programs serving K–12 students. Instructors share subject expertise and help students explore interests, develop practical skills, and learn beyond the traditional classroom. Teacher certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify, depending on the program.

Assignments vary by participating school and may involve teaching elementary, middle, or high school students in person at schools or community partner locations. Programs may provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; other assignments allow instructors to use their own subject knowledge and suitable learning activities. Opportunities are generally part-time, typically involve 1–4 instructional hours per week, and generally last 8–10 weeks. Compensation is typically $50–$65 per instructional hour, with the specific rate and assignment details communicated before acceptance.
