K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)
About The Position
Concorde Education seeks individuals to join its 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 school-based programs. 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. Assignments vary by school and may involve elementary, middle, or high school students. Programs cover areas such as technology, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical and career skills. Some assignments provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise. Assignment details and expectations are shared during the selection process. Opportunities are generally part-time, often involving 1–4 instructional hours per week over approximately 8–10 weeks. Schedules, assignment duration, hours, and compensation vary by program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, although actual rates may vary and are communicated before acceptance. These are potential independent contractor engagements, not guaranteed assignments or offers of employment. Selection and engagement depend on qualifications, availability, program demand, school requirements, and applicable screening and clearance procedures.
