About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future part-time enrichment programs serving K–12 students at schools and community partner locations. Instructors share expertise in subjects such as technology, science, creative arts, academic development, games, health and recreation, and practical or career skills. Applicants do not necessarily need to be certified teachers; relevant professional, instructional, coaching, tutoring, mentoring, or youth-development experience may qualify, depending on the assignment.
