DJ Instructor (Part Time)

$50-$60/hour | Teaching Role

We are a national DJ education program operating in 9 cities, including Houston, and are looking for a part-time DJ Instructor to teach beginner and intermediate students in a structured, in-person learning environment.

This is a teaching-focused role, not a performance or nightlife position. We provide the curriculum and students — instructors bring their expertise, professionalism, and equipment.

What You’ll Do

• Teach 1-on-1 and small-group DJ lessons
• Instruct students on DJ fundamentals (beatmatching, phrasing, EQ, transitions, library prep, etc.)
• Follow a structured curriculum while adapting to student learning styles
• Create a supportive, beginner-friendly learning environment
• Maintain professionalism, punctuality, and clear communication

Requirements (Read Carefully)

• Intermediate or higher DJ skill level
• Must own Pioneer DJ equipment (controller or standalone) with a minimum value of $700
• Comfortable using rekordbox
• Reliable, punctual, and comfortable working with beginners
• Currently enrolled in or graduated from a college/university (or equivalent verifiable background)
• Able to pass a basic identity and background verification

Preferred (Not Required)

• Prior teaching, tutoring, coaching, or mentoring experience
• Experience DJing events, clubs, or private functions
• Experience explaining technical concepts clearly to beginners

Compensation & Schedule

• $50 per hour for first 6 months, then $60 per hour
• Up to 10 hours per week; expect an average of 7 hours.
• Fixed hours: 7pm to 9pm on Thursdays, 1pm to 7pm on Saturdays. (You are not expected to show up when you do not have a class scheduled).
• Additional one-on-one coaching hours at your discretion
• Consistent students provided — no marketing required.

Equipment Requirement

Instructors must provide their own Pioneer DJ equipment for teaching. This role does not provide gear.

How to Apply

Please include:

• A brief description of your DJ background
• The Pioneer DJ equipment you own (model)
• Any teaching or mentoring experience (formal or informal)
• Your general availability

Selected candidates will be invited to a short interview.

Why This Role

• High hourly pay for a part-time teaching role
• Structured curriculum and steady students
• Ideal for DJs who enjoy mentoring and teaching
