Job description

Who We Are

At Contour, we’re reshaping education, one student at a time.

Born from the frustration of students who knew the system could be better, we set out to build what we once wished existed: tutoring that actually works. Not generic classes. Not recycled notes. Not overpriced, overcrowded rooms with an out-of-touch teacher who couldn’t relate. But a complete ecosystem of tutoring, resources, and support, meticulously designed to help every student reach their full potential.

Since 2020, over 15,000+ students have trusted Contour to guide their academic journey, and we’ve grown to over 500+ team members. We’ve produced hundreds of 99+ ATARs, tutored the World-Record UCAT scorer, and placed more students into medical school than any school in Australia.

Our growth is a testament to the simple philosophy: Put the student first, always. Everything we design, from our world-class tutor-training programs to our purpose-built campuses, exists to help students master content faster, perform with confidence, and even rekindle the joy of learning.

Contour is a group of three brands united by one goal: to give every student the best chance to achieve their full potential:

• Contour Education: Reshaping how students master their high school subjects with small-group tutoring, structured resources, and 1-on-1 support across Maths, Science, and English.
• Contour MedPrep: Reshaping medical preparation with a proven, step-by-step pathway through the UCAT, interviews, and admissions, led by a team of 100+ medical students.
• Contour TestPrep: Reshaping test preparation, starting with the selective entry exam, through rigorous tutoring, mock exams, and data-driven feedback to give students a decisive advantage.

This is Contour. Built by students, for students.

What You Will Do

• Teach : Run a 2-hour small-group class each week in a U-shaped room built for discussion, plus a weekly workshop, teaching Year 7-10 Science through Contour’s intuitive in-class materials.
• Engage : Lead classes full of discussion, exploration, diagrams, and videos, keeping every student involved rather than lectured at.
• Mentor : Be the teacher, mentor, coach, and friend your students need: someone they can ask anything, look up to, and be inspired by.
• Support : Work the room, catch misconceptions early, and give students the individual help they need to walk out confident.
• Prepare Them to Perform: Get your students ready for the topic tests and school assessments that build their foundations, sharing the strategies that worked for you

What You Will Bring

• 95+ ATAR, a 40+ subject score in an VCE Science (Biology, Chemistry or Physics), and a deep command of Year 7-10 Science.
• A love of teaching and the patience to explain a concept three different ways until it clicks.
• The energy to run a room: warm, confident, and engaging in front of a class.
• Care for students as people: you want to be a mentor they trust, beyond the marks.
• Reliability and professionalism: your students and their parents count on you every week.
• Alignment with Contour’s student-first mission and a passion for reshaping education.

Why You Will Love It

• The Best Class Experience: Every resource is built for you. No booklet creation, no admin. You walk in, teach, and connect.
• Students Who Want to Be There: Small groups of motivated students in purpose-built campuses.
• Real Impact: As a founding VCE tutor, you shape how a whole state of students experiences Contour from day one.
• Growth Pathways: Move into curriculum, leadership, or subject advisory roles as VCE scales. Many of our leaders started as tutors.
• Elite Brand & Real Benefits: Join an organiser ranked #8 on the AFR Fast 100 in 2025 (our fourth consecutive year on the AFR lists), with $60~100/hr (base $50/hr + bonus) + super, an EAP, birthday/loyalty leave, and lifestyle allowances.
