K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
About The Position
Concorde Education is building a network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized knowledge and practical skills with K–12 students through part-time assignments at schools and community partner locations. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify, depending on the program. Programs 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 differ in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and program requirements. Some provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise. Program details and resources are shared during assignment selection. Opportunities are generally part-time, often involving approximately 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Schedules, durations, and hours depend on each school program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though actual rates may vary and are communicated before acceptance. Applicants may be considered as programs become available; applying, screening, or completing a profile does not guarantee selection, work, hours, compensation, or future engagements. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval where required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
