About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs at schools and community partner locations. Instructors share subject expertise and practical skills with students through specialized educational programs.

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 vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements.

Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, with actual rates determined by the specific opportunity and communicated before acceptance.

Applicants may be considered as programs become available.
