ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide SAT and ACT test preparation services for high school students.

This is a potential independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities.

Assignments vary by school, schedule, student skill levels, curriculum, available instructional resources, and program objectives.

Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, instructional resources, practice materials, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

ASSIGNMENT SCOPE

Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors may:

• Plan and facilitate engaging SAT and/or ACT preparation sessions for individual students or small groups;

• Support students in strengthening reading, writing, language, mathematics, and standardized test-taking skills through structured instruction and guided practice;

• Adapt instruction based on student performance, diagnostic assessments, site requirements, available resources, and program objectives;

• Guide students through practice exams, skill-building activities, pacing strategies, error analysis, and college readiness preparation, where applicable;

• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and academically supportive learning environment;

• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate;

• Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session; and

• Follow applicable site safety, visitor, classroom, technology, emergency, and student-protection procedures.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM TOPICS

Assignments may include topics such as:

• SAT and ACT exam structure, timing, and scoring;

• Reading comprehension, evidence-based reasoning, and passage analysis;

• Grammar, usage, revision, and writing conventions;

• Algebra, functions, problem-solving, data analysis, geometry, and other tested mathematics concepts;

• Time management, pacing strategies, educated guessing, and process of elimination;

• Practice test review, error analysis, and personalized improvement plans;

• Study skills, organization, confidence-building, and test-day preparation; and

• College admissions readiness and academic goal setting.

Specific curriculum, testing focus (SAT, ACT, or both), instructional materials, and student needs vary by assignment.

QUALIFICATIONS

Preferred qualifications include:

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;

• Strong proficiency in SAT and/or ACT content, test formats, and instructional strategies;

• Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading academic support for high school students;

• Strong communication, organization, and classroom facilitation skills;

• Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable; and

• Ability to explain complex concepts clearly while motivating students and adapting instruction to individual learning needs.

Preferred backgrounds may include certified teachers, test preparation instructors, academic tutors, college admissions counselors, mathematics or English educators, college students or graduates in relevant fields, and others with relevant instructional experience.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

Assignments may utilize school-provided curriculum resources, SAT/ACT practice materials, textbooks, Chromebooks, calculators, online learning platforms, lesson plans, diagnostic assessments, and other instructional resources, where available.

Contractors may use their own instructional methods and materials when appropriate, safe, age-appropriate, lawful, and consistent with the assignment scope and site requirements.

Purchases requiring reimbursement must be approved in writing by Concorde before they are incurred.

COMPENSATION

Compensation varies by assignment and agreed contractor terms. Many opportunities pay $50+ per completed instructional service hour with students.

Contractors may propose their desired compensation rate when applying. When proposing a rate, contractors should consider the overall assignment scope, including anticipated preparation, planning, commute, materials, schedule, and other business considerations.

Concorde may accept the proposed rate, decline the application, or provide a counteroffer based on the budget for the specific assignment.

Unless otherwise approved in writing, compensation is based on completed instructional service hours with students.

Payment for completed services is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which services were completed, unless otherwise stated in the accepted assignment terms or required by applicable law.

APPLICATION AND ONBOARDING

Applicants selected to move forward may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete any required onboarding steps.

Applying, interviewing, receiving an invitation to create a profile, creating a profile, or completing onboarding does not guarantee selection, placement, or future assignment opportunities.

Potential assignments are subject to assignment fit, agreed compensation, completion of required onboarding, applicable background-check review, Fair Chance or pre-adverse action procedures where required, site-specific clearance requirements, and final written confirmation from Concorde Education.

Some assignments may require background-check authorization, fingerprinting, agency clearance, site-specific documentation, identification badges, or other compliance steps before services may begin.

Applicants should not provide criminal-history information unless and until requested through the appropriate legally compliant process.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education considers contractor applicants without regard to any status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law and is committed to respectful, inclusive, and student-centered programming.
