Description du poste

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 High SchoolScience and want to help students do the same, we have a Tutor role open at our upcoming NSW campuses . 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 teach a group of students content and application, and help them work through difficult questions:

• Teach – intuitively teach subject content to a full class of 8–20 students
• Coach – study skills and exam strategy
• Mentor – share your own experiences and form genuine connections
• Connect – build relationships that inspire students to keep going

For example, you might teach two classes on Monday and two on Tuesday (4:15–6:15pm and 6:45–8:45pm), plus two on Saturday morning (10:00am–12:00pm and 12:30–2:30pm).

What you'll bring

• Strong communication and a knack for making hard concepts click
• Knowledge of Science at first-year university level or above
• A 90+ result in at least two QCE science subjects, or one QCE science subject along with four university-level science units at 80+ WAM
• 6+ classes per week , committed across a full academic year (around 12+ hours weekly)
• 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: classes run two hours. Tutors start at $90/class and reach $140+/class, plus super and bonuses. Most Tutors earn $130 to $220+/class including bonuses.
• 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 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).

How to apply

• Submit your CV, ATAR/study scores, and a short paragraph on why you'd make a great tutor at Contour
• Submit a short video (10–15 minutes) of you tutoring with a sample workbook we provide
• Attend an in-person interview, which includes a Q&A and teaching a mock small-group class

One thing to know: all tutoring roles at Contour include a non-compete agreement. We heavily invest in your development as a tutor and ask for the same commitment to our mission in return. We'll walk you through the details before you sign any offer.
