About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share subject expertise and practical skills with students through part-time assignments designed to introduce learners to new interests and develop skills beyond the traditional classroom. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; 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, or other specialties. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines, while others allow instructors to use their own knowledge and suitable learning activities. Program details and expectations are shared during assignment selection.

Assignments are generally part-time, commonly involve 1–4 instructional hours per week, and typically last 8–10 weeks. Most pay $50–$65 per instructional hour, though actual rates and schedules vary by assignment. Concorde Education maintains an instructor network and may contact applicants whose qualifications match opportunities. Applying or completing screening and onboarding does not guarantee an assignment, 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.
