Victorian Select Entry Tutor

Teach students who shape the future.

At Contour TestPrep, we specialise exclusively in Select Entry programs, supporting high-potential students aiming for Victoria's most competitive schools.

We're looking for driven and committed Victorian Select Entry Tutors to guide Year 7–8 students as they prepare for entry into some of Victoria's most prestigious selective high schools.

Select Entry preparation can feel overwhelming and confusing for students. This is where you come in. You will mentor ambitious young learners, help them build confidence, master challenging exam content, and develop the mindset needed to excel.

As a Select Entry Tutor, you will lead engaging small-group classes and provide personalised one-on-one coaching, using high-quality teaching materials with minimal administrative tasks so you can focus on what matters most: teaching, inspiring, and empowering students to reach their full potential.

This is your opportunity to make a real impact, grow as a communicator and leader, and share your love for learning with the next generation of high achievers.

Contour is Victoria's largest and fastest-growing tutoring company, supporting over 6,000 students since 2020. Our TestPrep division focuses on high-impact, results-driven preparation for key academic milestones.

Launching in November 2025, our Victorian Selective Entry Program will help students gain entry into top selective schools including Melbourne High, Mac.Robertson Girls', Nossal and Suzanne Cory.
