About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking individuals to join its network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized knowledge and skills with students through programs offered at schools and community partner locations. Teaching certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction 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. Assignments vary by school in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and program requirements. Some provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines, while others allow instructors to use their own subject knowledge and learning activities.

These are generally part-time opportunities, often involving 1–4 instructional hours weekly over 8–10 weeks. Schedules, assignment length, hours, and compensation vary by program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, with the specific rate communicated before acceptance.
