Our instructors bring real-world expertise into the classroom and help students explore new interests through hands-on learning.

Position Overview
Concorde Education is seeking enthusiastic Coding Instructors to lead Scratch-based after-school enrichment classes for elementary and middle school students.
Scratch is a visual programming platform developed by MIT that introduces students to coding through block-based programming. Students create games, animations, and interactive stories while learning foundational programming concepts and computational thinking skills.
Classes are hands-on and project-based, designed to make coding accessible for beginners while still engaging students who may already have some experience.
What You’ll Teach
- Students will explore core programming concepts by building interactive Scratch projects such as games, animations, and digital stories.
- Topics may include:
- Introduction to the Scratch interface (sprites, stage, blocks)
- Sequencing and event-driven programming
- Loops and repetition
- Conditional logic and decision-making
- Variables and simple score or timer systems
- Debugging and problem-solving strategies
- Game design fundamentals
- Animation and storytelling through code
- Collaboration and remixing Scratch projects
- Digital citizenship and responsible online sharing
Responsibilities
- Lead engaging, hands-on Scratch coding sessions for students
- Guide students through creating games, animations, and interactive projects
- Adapt instruction for beginner and more advanced learners
- Foster a positive, inclusive classroom environment
- Communicate professionally with school staff and Concorde program coordinators
- Track attendance and basic program progress as required
- Support students in completing a final Scratch project
Qualifications
- Minimum 60 college credits completed
- Experience using Scratch or similar beginner coding platforms
- Experience working with school-age students (teaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, etc.)
- Strong communication and classroom facilitation skills
- Reliable, punctual, and professional
- Comfortable helping students use Chromebooks or web-based coding platforms
Most Concorde instructors teach 1–4 hours per week, though many choose to lead multiple programs across different schools.
Assignments vary by location and schedule, allowing instructors to select opportunities that best fit their availability.
Who This Role Is Great For
This role is ideal for:
- Teachers or substitute teachers
- Computer science or education college students
- Programmers or tech professionals interested in youth education
- Tutors or after-school instructors
- Game designers, developers, or hobbyist coders
