K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • San Francisco, CA

23d • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education is building a network of independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share specialized knowledge and skills with students through part-time, school-based assignments. A teaching certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may be considered.

Instructional opportunities may cover technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical or career skills. Assignments vary by school in schedule, student population, learning goals, program requirements, duration, and available resources. Some programs provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise and methods.

Programs commonly involve approximately 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks, though schedules, assignment lengths, hours, and compensation depend on the specific opportunity. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, with the applicable rate communicated before an instructor accepts an assignment. This is an opportunity to be considered for potential engagements, not a guaranteed assignment or offer of employment. Assignments depend on qualifications, subject expertise, location, scheduling, school requirements, program demand, and applicable screening, clearance, and approval processes.
