About The Position

Concorde Education seeks independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based enrichment programs serving elementary, middle, and high school students. Instructors bring subject expertise or practical experience to interactive learning opportunities that introduce students to new interests, develop practical skills, and extend learning beyond the traditional classroom. 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.

Programs may cover technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, and practical or career skills. Assignments vary by school in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. Some provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or instructional guidelines; others allow instructors to develop suitable activities using their own knowledge and techniques. Program details and available resources are provided during assignment selection.

These are generally part-time opportunities, commonly involving 1–4 instructional hours per week for approximately 8–10 weeks. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, though rates and schedules vary by opportunity, location, expertise, experience, and program demands. Compensation for a specific assignment is communicated before acceptance. Applicants may be considered as programs become available; applying, screening, or completing a profile does not guarantee selection, work, hours, compensation, or future assignments. Engagements are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the assignment.
