Description

We're looking for driven and committed VCE Chemistry tutors to join our passionate tutoring team at Contour Education. Take the lead in helping students maximize their learning experience, build strong relationships, and make a real impact.

As an Assistant Tutor, you will support student learning by acting as a secondary tutor during classes (most classes have two tutors), helping address student questions and clarify concepts while the primary tutor teaches. You will also conduct 1-on-1 video consultations outside of class hours, which students can book at no extra cost, provide ongoing text-based support to answer student questions promptly after class, and proofread and review learning materials to ensure quality and accuracy.

All additional support outside scheduled class hours is completely free for students, but you will be fully compensated for your time and effort

Multiple roles are available across our Victorian campuses: Point Cook, Narre Warren, Glen Waverley, Box Hill, and Melbourne CBD. This role also offers a hybrid work-from-home component for proofreading, consultations, and text-based support.

Who Are We

We empower students and their studies by providing an ecosystem of highly effective tutoring, resources, and support. We run weekly small-group tutoring sessions at our in-person campuses, presented by young and experienced tutors in a simple, intuitive, and engaging way. We also supplement these sessions with weekly workshops, complimentary 1-on-1 support, and a learning portal with a comprehensive suite of resources and practice material to help students master their subjects.

Over 8,000 students and 250+ team members have joined Contour Education since our founding in early 2020. Our growth reflects our dedication to providing ALL students and parents with a premium learning experience—from 24/7 personal support to on-demand resources—and our commitment to helping them achieve their goals and success in assessments and exams. We've been listed three years in a row as one of the Fastest Growing Startups by the Australian Financial Review, and we continue to grow year over year

Our vision is to reshape education, one student at a time.

Minimal Admin Work
