K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
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 skills and expertise with students through part-time, school-based assignments. Teaching credentials are not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify, depending on the program. Instructional areas may include technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical or career skills. Additional specialties may be considered as partner schools develop programs. Each assignment has its own schedule, student population, instructional goals, materials, and requirements. Some programs provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines, while others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their expertise. Assignments are generally part-time, often involving 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Actual schedules, duration, hours, and compensation depend on the specific school program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates may vary; the applicable rate is communicated before an instructor accepts. Opportunities are available throughout the academic year, but applying or completing screening and onboarding does not guarantee selection, hours, compensation, or an assignment. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
