Tutoring (Education and Training)

Casual/Vacation

Know your way around a text response, a persuasive essay and a Year 12 exam? Put that expertise to work as an online English tutor, teaching one student at a time from home on a timetable you control.

As our student community continues to grow, we are expanding our teaching team across Australia throughout the year.

Who We Are

We're an online tutoring company built on personalised, one-on-one teaching, with a network of more than 300 registered teachers. Our programs span Year 11-12 exam preparation for VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE and SACE, Year 1-10 English reading and writing, Maths and Science, as well as Scholarship and Selective Entry exam preparation.

The Role: Online 1-on-1 Secondary English Tutors, Year 7-12

We're seeking enthusiastic, highly experienced English teachers to work with secondary students, from the early years of high school right through to final exams. You may teach:

Years 7-10

HSC English Standard, Advanced, Extension 1, Extension 2 and EAL/D

QCE English, Literature, Essential English and EAL

SACE English, English Literary Studies, Essential English and EAL

WACE English, Literature and EAL/D

Teachers confident across both junior and senior years are especially welcome. If your strength is primary English, we'd still like to hear from you.

Our students include Australian-born students, with English as either their first or an additional language (EAL), as well as international students from China.

Run focused one-on-one online English lessons built around each student's goals

Deep knowledge of English and literature

Dependable weekly availability and a commitment to professional teaching

A reliable internet connection and confidence with online teaching technology

What's In It for You?

Set your own hours, teach from wherever you like, and decide how much you take on

Long-term students on regular weekly schedules, rather than term-based enrolments

30 to 50 per hour, paid on time, based on a combination of:
