K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • Santa Ana, CA

3d • $50 - $65 • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education connects qualified professionals with part-time instructional opportunities at K–12 schools and community partner locations. The organization is seeking individuals to join its network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based programs. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify, depending on the program.

Programs span technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical and career skills. Additional specialties may be considered as partner schools develop new programs. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines; others allow instructors to use their own subject knowledge and teaching techniques. Assignment details and available resources are shared during selection.

Opportunities are generally part-time, often involving approximately 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Scheduling, length, and hours depend on the individual school program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates may vary and are determined by the specific opportunity and relevant factors. The applicable rate is communicated before acceptance. This is an opportunity to be considered for independent contractor engagements, not a guaranteed assignment or offer of employment. Selection and engagement are subject to applicable screening, clearance, school approval, and written assignment confirmation.
