Description

Teach students who shape the future.

At Contour Education, we don’t just tutor - we transform the way students learn.

We’re looking for driven and committed VCE Mathematical Methods and VCE Specialist Maths tutors to join our passionate team. As an Assistant Tutor, you will play a crucial role as a secondary tutor in our engaging group classes (8–20 students), helping students build confidence, master their subjects, and excel in their exams—all while sharing your passion for learning.

This is your chance to inspire students, grow as a communicator and leader, and pass on your passion to the next generation of high achievers.

We have opportunities across all our current campus locations in Victoria:

Point Cook | Narre Warren | Glen Waverley | Box Hill | Melbourne CBD

With new locations in Springvale, Epping & Bentleigh opening soon*.

This role also offers a hybrid work-from-home component for consultations and text-based support.

Who we are

We empower students and their studies by providing an ecosystem of highly effective tutoring, resources and support. We run weekly small-group tutoring sessions at our in-person campuses, 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 8,000 students and 250+ team members have joined Contour Education 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, one student at a time.
