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 specialized knowledge and practical skills with students through part-time, school-based assignments. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may be considered, depending on the program. 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. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and program requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise. Opportunities are generally part-time, commonly involving 1–4 instructional hours per week for 8–10 weeks. Scheduling, duration, hours, and compensation depend on the individual program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates may vary; the applicable rate is communicated before acceptance. Opportunities arise throughout the academic year, but applying or completing screening does not guarantee selection, hours, compensation, or an assignment. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
