K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • Glen Burnie, MD

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized knowledge and 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, depending on the program.

Instructional areas include technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical and career skills. Additional specialties may be considered as partner schools introduce programs. Each assignment has its own schedule, student population, objectives, and requirements. Some programs provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or specific guidance, while others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise.

Assignments are generally part-time, often involving 1–4 instructional hours per week for 8–10 weeks. Schedules, duration, hours, and compensation depend on the individual program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though actual rates may differ. Rates are communicated before an instructor accepts an assignment.

Applicants may be considered as programs become available, based on qualifications, subject expertise, location, schedule compatibility, partner requirements, and program demand. Screening, documentation, profile setup, onboarding, applicable clearances, and school approval may be required. This advertisement is for potential independent contractor engagements and does not guarantee an assignment, employment, hours, compensation, or future work.
