VCE English Tutor

We have a great opportunity for a driven and committed tutor to join our passionate Tutoring Team for 2024!
We empower students and their studies by providing highly engaging small-group tutoring designed to prepare them for school assessments and final exams. Our sessions are presented by experienced but young tutors that can teach the study design in a simple and intuitive yet engaging way. VCE students will greatly benefit from positive role models and enthusiastic educators, so if you're passionate about helping students find a love for English and achieve their best, we believe this is a great opportunity for you!
Over 2,000 students have joined our tutoring services since our founding in 2020. Our growth is a testament to our dedication to providing ALL our students and parents with a high-quality tutoring experience (from 24/7 personal support to on-demand resources) and our commitment to helping them achieve their goals.
It's our vision to reshape education, starting with tutoring.
Opportunity to Tutor Groups
Have you ever wanted to do group tutoring but never got the time or students to? Maybe you’ve been doing one-on-one tutoring so far, and now you want to explore group tutoring? As a VCE tutor at Contour, rather than tutoring one student at a time, you can now motivate groups of students with your knowledge and experience without the hassle of more admin work and finding students.
Opportunity to Create High-Quality Tutoring Material
Have you ever wanted to impact the education of hundreds of students at once? Maybe you’ve been doing some one-on-one tutoring or content development so far (probably with hundreds of unpaid hours making tutoring resources), but now you want to explore larger groups of students?
As a VCE English Tutor at Contour, when you work on resource creation, rather than impacting just one or a few students at a time, you can now directly help hundreds of VCE English students with your knowledge and expertise, without the hassle of any admin work or finding students.
Competitive Pay and Compensation
We pride ourselves on compensating and rewarding our tutors for their hard work. The starting rate ranges from $90 to $200 per 2-hour class (incl. Super) depending on the size of the classes you take. If you're already a veteran tutor, then apply for our senior tutor role and the rates can only get higher as you pick up more classes, show dedication to Contour, and contribute to the success of your students!
We're also introducing a new compensation model in 2024 where you'll also share part of the revenue generated by your classes. We want you to feel rewarded for introducing students to Contour and doing a great job at making them happy, so if Contour grows, you'll grow with it!
In some circumstances, if you already have private students but want to transfer them over to Contour, we can potentially even provide payouts so you can move all your tutoring work to us. Win-win!
Minimal Admin Work
There is almost no requirement for admin work. All you have to do is take simple attendance, manage student emails, and address student questions promptly outside of class via social media/text/email :)
Support & Personal Development
Working in a collaborative environment and an energetic team can be a fantastic opportunity to hone your skills and learn so much along the way! When you work with us, you’ll also have the chance to learn from tutors who have spent thousands of hours tutoring and have garnered years of experience, perfecting their craft.
You'll be trained upon joining and we'll provide you with personal feedback as you settle in. You'll also be engaged with the rest of the team through routine catch-ups and peer-review sessions, and over time you'll receive further perks, pay rises, classes and work opportunities. We'll also be there to support you through any personal ventures such as rent applications and job references!
