K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
About The Position
Concorde Education is seeking qualified professionals to join its network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based enrichment programs. Instructors share subject expertise with K–12 students through part-time assignments at schools and community partner locations. A teaching certification is not necessarily required; depending on the program, relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify. Programs may cover technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, practical and career skills, and other specialties. Each assignment has its own schedule, student population, instructional goals, and program requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or specific guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise and teaching techniques. Assignments are generally part-time, often involving 1–4 instructional hours weekly over 8–10 weeks. Hours, duration, and schedule vary by school program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though actual rates may fall outside that range and are set for each opportunity. The compensation for a specific assignment is communicated before acceptance. These are potential independent contractor engagements, not guaranteed assignments or employment offers. Selection and engagement depend on qualifications, availability, program demand, and applicable screening, clearance, and school approval requirements.
