Assistant VCE Physics Tutor

VCE Physics Tutor – Assistant Tutor

We’re looking for driven and committed VCE Physics tutors to join our tutoring team at Contour Education. Take the lead in helping students learn, build strong relationships, and make an impact.

Role overview – As an Assistant Tutor, you will support student learning by acting as a secondary tutor during classes (most classes have two tutors), help address student questions and clarify concepts while the primary tutor teaches. You will also conduct 1-on-1 video consultations outside of class hours, provide ongoing text-based support, and proofread and review learning materials to ensure quality and accuracy.

All additional student support outside scheduled class hours is free for students, with full compensation for your time and effort.

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

Who Are We

We empower students by providing tutoring, resources and support. We run weekly small-group tutoring sessions at our in-person campuses, with friendly tutors who teach in a simple, engaging way. We supplement sessions with weekly workshops, 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 2020. Our growth reflects our commitment to providing all our students and parents with a premium learning experience, including 24/7 personal support and on-demand resources.

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

Support & Personal Development

You’ll join a supportive team focused on growth and student success. You’ll receive onboarding, regular check-ins, in-class feedback, and opportunities to progress to senior or leadership roles. We offer career development support such as references, mentoring, and full-time opportunities.
