K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • Youngstown, OH

3d • $50 - $65 • Onsite

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 school-based programs. A teaching certificate is not necessarily required; relevant experience in areas such as 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 span technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical and career skills. Some programs provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise. Program details and expectations are shared during the assignment selection process.

Opportunities are generally part-time, commonly involving 1–4 instructional hours per week for approximately 8–10 weeks. Scheduling, assignment length, and available hours vary by program. Most assignments pay $50–$65 per instructional hour, though actual rates may vary and are communicated before acceptance. These are potential independent contractor engagements, not guaranteed assignments or offers of employment. Selection and any engagement are subject to relevant screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment.
