K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
About The Position
Concorde Education is building a network of independent contractor instructors for current and future K–12 school and community-partner enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized knowledge and practical skills with elementary, middle, or high school students through part-time instructional assignments. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify candidates for consideration. Programs may cover technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, practical and career skills, or other specialties introduced by partner schools. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, requirements, and available materials. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines; others allow instructors to use their own expertise and suitable learning activities. Opportunities are generally part-time, typically involving 1–4 instructional hours per week for approximately 8–10 weeks. Assignment availability and compensation depend on program needs and other relevant factors. The posting gives typical compensation of $50–$65 per instructional hour, while its salary line lists $50–$100 per hour. Specific compensation is communicated before an instructor accepts an assignment. This is not a guaranteed assignment or offer of employment. Any engagement depends on relevant screening and clearance requirements, school approval where required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
