K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • Muskegon, MI

11d • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking individuals to join its network of independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs serving K–12 students at schools and community partner locations. Instructors share specialized knowledge and skills with students through engaging learning experiences beyond the traditional classroom. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant professional practice, coaching, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instructional experience 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 requested by partner schools. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, resources, and requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise.

These opportunities are generally part-time, typically involving 1–4 instructional hours per week over an 8–10-week period. Schedules, duration, hours, and compensation vary by assignment. Most assignments pay $50–$65 per instructional hour, with actual rates determined by the specific opportunity and communicated before acceptance. This is an opportunity to be considered for independent contractor engagements, not a guaranteed assignment or offer of employment. Selection and any engagement are subject to relevant qualifications, availability, program demand, applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
