Contract Class Instructor

Description

The City of Tustin is currently seeking applicants with solid instructional experience to enhance our contract class offerings. Contract Class Instructors have unique skills or expertise and are familiar with sharing their knowledge with members of the public in a class or workshop setting. Contract Class Instructors are independent contractors and are not employed by the City . Compensation will be as agreed upon by the parties in each individual Contract Class Instructor’s contract. Typically, compensation for classes held at City facilities is split 65/35 with the Contract Class Instructor or as is defined by the contract. The City makes no guarantees on the number of classes, the number of students, or the amount of revenue that a class may generate.

Typical classes take place one day per week, for four (4) to six (6) week sessions. The City can continue class offerings into subsequent quarters depending on the success and enrollment of the class.

Summer camps are held from June through mid-August and coincide with the Tustin Unified School District’s calendar. Camps run three (3) to five (5) days per week for a half or full day. Class offerings will continue into subsequent weeks if the class meets the community's needs.
