Join to apply for the Victorian Select Entry Assistant Tutor role at Contour MedPrep. This is an opportunity to support students seeking entry into Victoria's most prestigious schools, with access to high-quality teaching materials and minimal administrative tasks to focus on student learning.

Contour TestPrep is Victoria's leading Select Entry preparation program, offering engaging small-group lessons, abundant resources, and 24/7 support across five Victorian campuses.

What you'll do

Weekly Group Classes
