K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
About The Position
Concorde Education is building a network of independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share professional skills or subject expertise with 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, depending on the program. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. 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. Some assignments provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to use their own knowledge and teaching methods. Opportunities are generally 1–4 instructional hours per week over approximately 8–10 weeks, though schedules and duration depend on the participating school. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, while actual rates may vary and are communicated before acceptance. Opportunities arise throughout the academic year.
