Instructors should be comfortable adapting activities to student skill levels, available space, and program objectives.

COMPENSATION

Independent contractor assignments generally begin at $50+ per completed instructional hour , with rates varying by location, program requirements, and instructor experience.

Most programs meet for approximately 1–4 hours per week over 8–10 weeks. Some instructors choose to teach multiple programs per week depending on their availability and available assignments.

Contractors may review individual opportunities and decide whether to accept or decline assignments based on their interests, availability, and agreed compensation.

Applicants may be invited to create an instructor profile, provide relevant experience and qualifications, and apply for available assignments.

Depending on the opportunity, an interview, onboarding documentation, background screening, and school or site clearance may be required before an assignment is confirmed.

Applying, interviewing, or completing a contractor profile does not guarantee selection, placement, a minimum number of instructional hours, future assignments, or continued engagement.

These are potential independent contractor assignments, not employee positions. Final engagement is subject to assignment availability, qualifications, agreed compensation, applicable clearance requirements, and written confirmation.
