About the role

We are inviting Expressions of Interest from dynamic, qualified and experienced tutors/teachers or even University students who are seeking contract, flexible work from Term

The role will involve tutoring upper primary and high school students (Years 5-12) in English and/or Maths, delivered either:

As a key member of our team, you'll help shape our tutoring offerings, deliver sessions that make a real impact, and contribute to the growth of our new business.

Key responsibilities

• Provide personalised and engaging tutoring sessions in English or Maths for high-school students, focusing on literacy (reading, writing, comprehension), numeracy, exam preparation, and confidence-building with our inhouse learning system and content.
• Establish clear learning goals with students (and where appropriate, their parents/families), monitor progress and adapt tutoring strategies accordingly.
• Communicate effectively with students and families: give constructive feedback, track outcomes, adjust plans to maximise progress.

Eligibility & desired attributes

To be considered, you must hold:

• A valid Working With Children Check (WWCC) or equivalent for your state/territory or willing to obtain one for our safeguarding measures prior to engagement
• Exposure to the NSW curriculum
• A Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Secondary Education or working towards this (Uni students please apply), or a relevant discipline with secondary teaching credentials (or be a current teacher).
• Experience tutoring, mentoring or teaching high school students (Years 5 -12), ideally in English and/or Maths.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to build rapport with students of diverse backgrounds and with varying needs.
• Flexibility and adaptability to deliver online and/or face-to-face sessions, and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes.
• Must be authorised to work in Australia.

We will value

• Demonstrated success in tutoring or teaching high school students — both one-on-one and in small groups.
• University students who are keen to gain experience with the curriculum before their teaching career begins
• Experience with NSW Department of Education standards or other state/territory curricula.
• Creative, self-motivated tutors who are eager to contribute to the growth of a new venture and operate both independently and as part of a team.

How to apply

If you believe that your tutoring/teaching experience, qualifications and passion could help inspire students and change futures, please submit:

• A current resume with contact details.
• Copies of your relevant qualifications and transcripts.
• A covering letter that addresses your experience in tutoring/teaching high school English and/or Maths, your availability (online and/or Murwillumbah studio) and why you'd like to join this venture.

Please submit your application via the SEEK portal, stating "Expression of Interest – Contract Tutor 2026" in the subject line.

We look forward to reviewing your expression of interest and to launching something great together in Term 1, 2026.
