Concorde Education • Sacramento, CA

24d • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share specialized skills and knowledge with students through part-time assignments. A teaching certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in areas such as coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify, depending on the program.

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 in schedule, student population, learning goals, and program requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to select suitable activities and teaching methods.

Programs commonly involve approximately 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks, though schedules, duration, and hours depend on the school program. Most assignments pay $50–$65 per instructional hour; rates may differ and are determined by the specific opportunity. Assignment details and compensation are communicated before acceptance.

Applicants may be considered as opportunities arise, but applying, screening, or creating an instructor profile does not guarantee selection, assignments, hours, compensation, or future engagements. Any engagement is subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
