Position Overview
Concorde Education is seeking an engaging, student-centered Coding Instructor to facilitate short-format after-school enrichment courses for students across multiple grade bands.

  • Web development fundamentals (HTML structure, CSS styling, responsive basics)

  • Experience working with school-age students in structured settings (school, camp, after-school, tutoring, youth programs)
