About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking qualified independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs serving K–12 students at schools and community partner locations. Instructors share subject expertise and practical skills through specialized educational experiences outside the traditional classroom. Teacher certification is not necessarily required; depending on the assignment, relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may be considered.

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 differ by school in schedule, student population, learning goals, instructional materials, and requirements. Some provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines; others allow instructors to use their own expertise and suitable learning activities.

Opportunities are generally part-time and typically involve 1–4 instructional hours per week over approximately 8–10 weeks. Scheduling, duration, hours, and compensation depend on the specific program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates may vary; the applicable rate is communicated before acceptance. Concorde Education maintains an instructor network and may contact applicants whose qualifications align with new opportunities. Assignments depend on qualifications, subject expertise, geographic availability, schedule compatibility, partner-school requirements, and program demand. This is not a guaranteed assignment or offer of employment. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the assignment.
