About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future enrichment programs at K–12 schools and community partner locations. Instructors share specialized knowledge and skills with students through part-time, in-person assignments that may introduce new interests, develop practical skills, and explore topics beyond the traditional classroom. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; 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 skills, career skills, and other specialties. Assignments vary by school in schedule, student population, goals, requirements, curriculum, and available materials. Some programs provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines; others allow instructors to use their subject knowledge and suitable activities. Assignment details and expectations are shared during selection.

Opportunities are generally part-time, commonly involving 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, although rates and schedules depend on the specific opportunity and are communicated before acceptance. Concorde Education maintains a network of instructors who may be considered as programs become available. Applying, screening, or setting up a profile does not guarantee selection, an assignment, hours, compensation, or continued work. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
