About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future K–12 school-based enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized knowledge and practical skills with students through part-time assignments at schools and community partner locations. Teaching certification is not necessarily required; relevant professional, coaching, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instructional experience may qualify candidates for consideration.

Instructional areas may include technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical or career skills. Additional specialties may be considered as partner schools introduce programs. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. Some include prepared curricula, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise.

Programs are generally part-time and commonly involve 1–4 instructional hours per week for 8–10 weeks. Scheduling, duration, hours, and compensation depend on the particular school program. Compensation is typically $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates may vary and are communicated before an instructor accepts an assignment. Opportunities are available throughout the academic year, but applying or completing screening and onboarding does not guarantee selection, an assignment, hours, compensation, or future engagements. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the assignment.
