Job description

Help students learn and love Maths.

At Contour, we're academic partners on a mission to reshape education. We provide students with an ecosystem of expert tutoring, learning resources, and individualised support so they have all the tools they need to reach their full potential.

Contour tutors are the heart of that student experience. You'll lead engaging group classes of 8–20 students, help them build confidence, master their subjects, and excel in their assessments, all while sharing your passion for learning.

If you excelled in Maths and want to help students do the same, we have an Assistant Tutor role open at our Box Hill campus. Bring your energy, ambition, and a love of the subject. You'll inspire students, grow as a communicator and leader, and pass on your passion to the next generation of high achievers.

Who we are

Contour was founded in 2020 by students who saw that the quality of your education was basically a lottery. Teachers stretched thin by the system, learning materials that varied from school to school, and support that stopped the moment you left the classroom.

We began with 5 students in a room. Today 15,000+ students have trusted Contour as their academic partners, and we've grown to 500+ team members across 10 campuses in Australia. In 2025 we ranked #8 on the AFR Fast 100 of fastest-growing companies.

We've produced hundreds of 99+ ATARs, tutored the world-record UCAT scorer, and placed 850+ students into medical and dental schools across Australia.

Contour is made up of three brands:

• Contour Education academic performance in high school
• Contour MedPrep entry into medical and dental schools
• Contour TestPrep entry into selective and scholarship schools

Contour is built by students, for students.

What you'll do

You'll work with students one at a time, supporting the lead tutor and the wider class:

• Support – work alongside the lead tutor in class, helping address student questions
• Consult – run 1-on-1 video consults with students who need extra help
• Assist – answer student questions by text between classes
• Review – write worked solutions and verify learning materials for quality
• Mentor – share your own experiences and form genuine connections
• Connect – build relationships that inspire students to keep going

Note: all additional support you provide outside scheduled class hours is completely free for students, but you're fully compensated for your time.

What you’ll bring

• Strong communication and a knack for making hard concepts click
• Knowledge of Mathematics at first-year university level or above
• A 99+ ATAR, and a 40+ raw study score in Maths Methods (highly desirable, not required)
• Ability to commit to weekly classes (consistent attendance required).
• Energy, empathy, and a desire to help students
• Alignment with Contour's mission (non-compete agreement required)

Why you’ll love it

You'll work alongside high-achieving university peers who study similar degrees to you and are at Contour for the same reason: to give back and help the next generation of students.

• The pay: Assistant Tutors start at $55/class and rise to $70/class, plus super.
• You don't build the material: every class runs on a workbook our subject team writes, with homework, practice assessments and exams already built into our learning portal.
• Real (paid) training: qualification through Contour Tutor Academy, class sit-ins, regular check-ins with your team lead, and honest feedback on your tutoring.
• A schedule you choose: pick your days, campuses, and times. Evenings and weekends, built around your uni timetable.
• Somewhere to go: grow with Contour into Primary Tutor roles, senior tutoring roles, team leads, or full-time career opportunities.
• Perks: $60 monthly wellbeing allowance, birthday leave, loyalty leave, exam-study leave, novated leasing, and an employee assistance program (EAP).
