About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking 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 programs that introduce students to new interests and help them build skills 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 qualify, 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, materials, and program requirements. Some provide curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines, while others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own expertise.

Opportunities are generally part-time, typically involving 1–4 instructional hours per week for approximately 8–10 weeks. Hours, duration, schedule, and compensation depend on the specific school program. Most assignments pay $50–$65 per instructional hour, although rates may vary and are communicated before acceptance. Applying or completing screening and onboarding does not guarantee an assignment, hours, compensation, or future engagements. Assignments are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval where required, and written confirmation.
