• Communicate student progress, concerns, equipment needs, and safety issues to program leadership
• Participate in required onboarding, training, meetings, observations, calibration, continuing education, and feedback sessions

• Strong communication, organization, and attention to detail
• Basic computer proficiency
• Ability to collaborate professionally with students, coworkers, and partner-site personnel
• Ability to complete required pre-employment and continuing requirements, including background check, credential verification, immunization and TB documentation, drug screening, and any site-specific clearance

• Radiology instruction
• Dental assisting instruction
• Dental hygiene instruction
• Clinical education
• Training or mentoring
• Precepting
• Teaching adult learners
• Hands-on laboratory or career-school instruction

The Schedule

This is a part-time position.

Teaching typically takes place on weekends and may include extended class days, accelerated radiology sessions, or occasional evening instruction.

Class sessions may last six to eight hours with scheduled breaks. Additional paid preparation, grading, documentation, communication, meetings, and training may occur outside scheduled class hours.

All time worked must be recorded and will be paid.

Why Teach With Zollege?

At Zollege, our instructors don't simply deliver information — they help students turn technical knowledge into real clinical skills.

You'll work in a classroom and laboratory environment where students can practice, ask questions, receive feedback, and build the confidence they need to enter the dental field.

Our mission is centered on providing hands-on, career-focused education without relying on student loans, helping students build skills and career pathways that can create lasting change for themselves, their families, and their communities.
