K–12 Enrichment Instructor (Independent Contractor)

Concorde Education • Dorchester, MA

About The Position

Concorde Education is seeking individuals to join its network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs. Instructors share specialized skills, professional expertise, or subject knowledge with students through part-time assignments at schools and community partner locations. Applicants do not necessarily need to be certified teachers; 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 additional specialties. Assignments vary in schedule, student population, instructional goals, and requirements. Some provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or guidelines; others allow instructors to develop appropriate activities using their own knowledge and techniques.

Opportunities are generally part-time, often involving approximately 1–4 instructional hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Dates, hours, assignment length, and compensation depend on the individual program. Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, with actual rates determined by factors including the assignment, geographic market, required expertise, experience, and program demands. The rate for a specific assignment is communicated before acceptance.

Applicants may be considered as school programs become available. Selection depends on qualifications, subject expertise, geographic availability, scheduling compatibility, school-partner requirements, and program demand. Engagements are not guaranteed and are subject to applicable screening and clearance requirements, school approval when required, and written confirmation of the specific assignment. Applying, screening, or completing an instructor profile does not guarantee selection, hours, compensation, future engagements, or continued assignments.
