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’ll support our lead tutors in dynamic group classes (8–20 students), helping students deepen their understanding, build confidence, and achieve outstanding results, all while sharing your enthusiasm for learning and education.
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
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 10,000+ students have trusted Contour to guide their academic journey, and we’ve grown to over 300+ 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.
