Assistant VCE Chemistry Tutor

We are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic Assistant Chemistry Tutors to join our team. You will enhance student learning through direct engagement in Contour classes, personalised 1-on-1 consultations, and ongoing academic support. You will work collaboratively with tutors to ensure students receive the highest quality education and support. This role also offers a development pathway for those aspiring to become tutors.

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, presented by young and experienced tutors that teach 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 6,000 students and 150+ team members have joined Contour since our founding in the beginning of 2020. Our growth is a testament to our dedication in providing ALL our 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 personal goals, and achieve success in their school 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're continuing to multiply year over year

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? As a VCE Assistant 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.

Access to High-Quality Tutoring Material

You've probably spent hundreds of unpaid hours making tutoring resources for your students. We know it can be an extremely time-consuming process, and arguably one of the more boring and tedious parts of being a tutor. But that's where we come inWe've spent thousands of hours creating resources and detailed notes for VCE subjects. All you have to do is prepare for your tutoring session by reading over the class workbooks beforehand, and provide an excellent tutoring experience to your students :)

Competitive Pay and Compensation

We pride ourselves on compensating and rewarding our tutors for their hard work. The starting rate ranges from $60+ per 2-hour class (exc. Super) for Assistant Tutors. There may also be opportunities for you to progress into a tutor role, which has a salary ranging from $90-200 per 2 hour class, depending on how many students you have.

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. Our support teams organise class days and times, following up on missed attendance, managing payments and enrolments, so you can just focus on the student and tutoring.

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
