About The Position

Concorde Education seeks individuals to join its network of independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share subject expertise and practical skills with students through specialized learning experiences 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 in schedule, student population, learning goals, and requirements. Programs may provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines, while others allow instructors to develop appropriate activities using their own subject knowledge and teaching techniques. Opportunities are generally part-time, often involving 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Assignment availability, duration, schedule, and compensation depend on the participating school and program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, although rates may vary; the rate for a specific assignment is communicated before acceptance.
