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 at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors may share professional expertise or specialized skills with students through part-time assignments. Teacher certification 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, practical and career skills, and other specialties introduced by partner schools. Assignments differ in schedule, student population, learning goals, and requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or specific guidelines; others allow instructors to use their own subject knowledge and suitable learning activities. Opportunities are generally 1–4 instructional hours per week for 8–10 weeks, though hours, schedules, duration, and compensation depend on the school program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour; the specific rate is communicated before acceptance, and the posting also lists a salary range of $50–$100 per hour. Opportunities are available throughout the academic year, but application and onboarding do not guarantee selection, hours, compensation, or future engagements. Any engagement is subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the assignment.
