Concorde Education • Riverside, CA

About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based enrichment programs serving elementary, middle, and high school students. Instructors share specialized knowledge and practical skills through part-time assignments at schools and community partner locations. Teacher certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify candidates for consideration.

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. Assignments vary by school in schedule, student population, objectives, materials, and instructional requirements. Some programs provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines, while others allow instructors to develop appropriate activities using their expertise.

Assignments are generally 1–4 instructional hours per week for approximately 8–10 weeks, though hours, duration, and schedules depend on the school program. Compensation is typically $50–$65 per instructional hour, with the specific rate communicated before acceptance and potentially varying by assignment and location. Opportunities are available throughout the academic year, but applying or completing screening and onboarding does not guarantee selection, hours, compensation, or future assignments. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements and, where required, school approval and written confirmation.
