We connect qualified professionals with part‑time instructional opportunities that allow them to introduce young learners to new interests, develop practical skills, and explore subjects beyond the traditional classroom.

We are seeking individuals interested in joining our network of independent contractor instructors for current and future school‑based programs.

Additional instructional specialties are considered as partner schools introduce new programs.

Your Role as an Instructor

Each assignment has its own schedule, student population, instructional goals, and program requirements.

• Leading interactive instructional sessions for elementary, middle, or high school students
• Introducing concepts through demonstrations, discussions, projects, and practical activities
• Preparing lessons or activities consistent with the assigned program's objectives
• Encouraging student curiosity, participation, collaboration, and skill development
• Providing appropriate supervision and maintaining a respectful learning environment
• Adjusting instructional approaches to accommodate different learning levels and abilities
• Coordinating professionally with school contacts and Concorde Education regarding program logistics
• Following relevant site policies, student safety procedures, and assignment expectations

Instructors are expected to fulfill the responsibilities and schedules of assignments they accept.

Who Should Apply?

We consider candidates with a variety of professional, academic, and instructional backgrounds.

Successful applicants generally demonstrate:

• Strong knowledge or practical experience in at least one relevant subject area
• Experience teaching, mentoring, coaching, tutoring, or working with children and teenagers
• The ability to explain concepts clearly and engage groups of students
• Professional communication, dependability, and organizational skills
• Comfort working within established school procedures and instructional expectations

Educational Background: At least 60 completed college credits is preferred for many opportunities. Equivalent professional or specialized experience may be considered when appropriate for a particular assignment.

Prior classroom employment is not universally required. Individuals with experience in camps, community programs, private lessons, youth organizations, and related professional environments are encouraged to apply.

Program Structure & Teaching Materials

Assignments differ according to the needs of each participating school.

Certain programs provide prepared curriculum, lesson plans, supplies, or specific instructional guidelines. Others allow instructors to incorporate their own subject knowledge, teaching techniques, and suitable learning activities.

Relevant program details, available resources, and instructional expectations are shared during the assignment selection process.

Scheduling & Instructor Compensation

These opportunities are generally part‑time, with many programs meeting for approximately 1–4 instructional hours each week over an 8–10‑week period.

Scheduling, assignment length, and available hours depend on the individual school program.

Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour. Actual rates may fall outside this range and are determined by the specific opportunity, geographic market, required expertise, experience, program demands, and other relevant factors.

The compensation applicable to a particular assignment is communicated before an instructor accepts that assignment.
