A Part-Time Instructor is an educator who teaches courses on a limited schedule, often at colleges or universities. They may work only a few hours each week, focusing on specific subjects or skills. This role allows flexibility for instructors who may have other jobs or commitments. Part-time instructors typically hold advanced degrees in their field, such as a Master's degree or Ph.D.. They are responsible for preparing lesson plans, grading assignments, and providing support to students. This position is common in higher education, where institutions often hire part-time staff to meet varying student needs.
