Concorde Education • Glen Burnie, MD

3d • $50 - $100 • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future part-time enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share subject expertise with students through interactive learning experiences that introduce new interests, develop practical skills, and explore subjects beyond the traditional classroom. Teaching certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify, depending on the program.

Assignments vary by school and may serve elementary, middle, or high school students. Programs cover areas including technology, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical or career skills. Some assignments provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to use their own subject knowledge and teaching techniques.

These opportunities are generally part-time, often involving 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Schedule, duration, available hours, and compensation depend on the particular program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates may vary and the applicable compensation is communicated before an instructor accepts an assignment. Applying or completing screening and onboarding does not guarantee selection, hours, compensation, or future work. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
