K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • St. Louis, MO

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education seeks individuals to join its network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized skills, professional expertise, or subject knowledge with 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.

Instructional areas may include technology and innovation; science and engineering; creative arts; academic development; games and critical thinking; health and recreation; and practical and career skills. Additional specialties may be considered as partner schools introduce programs. Assignment schedules, student populations, instructional goals, and requirements vary. Some assignments provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines, while others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their expertise.

Assignments are generally part-time, typically involving 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks, with schedules and duration dependent on the school program. Compensation is typically $50–$65 per instructional hour, although rates may vary by assignment and location. The rate for a specific assignment is provided before acceptance. Opportunities are available throughout the academic year, but application, screening, or profile completion does not guarantee an assignment, hours, compensation, or continued engagements. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
