K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
About The Position
Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs at schools and community partner locations. Instructors share a subject, practical skill, professional background, or area of expertise with students through part-time assignments. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify. Programs may cover technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, practical and career skills, and other specialties requested by partner schools. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. Some provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise. Assignments are generally 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks, with opportunities available throughout the academic year. Most pay $50–$65 per instructional hour, although rates and schedules depend on the specific assignment and are communicated before acceptance. This posting describes potential independent contractor engagements, not guaranteed employment or an assignment. Selection and any engagement depend on qualifications, availability, program demand, required screening and clearance, and school approval where applicable.
