The job

You teach one student at a time

Families keep the same tutor each week, so you get to know your students and see their progress across the term.

  • You pick your students.

    When a family matches your subjects, year levels, times and location, we send you their details. You decide whether to take them on.

  • You choose online, in-home, or both.

    Online lessons run on Lessonspace, a shared whiteboard that opens in the browser with nothing to download. In-home lessons happen at the student’s home or a local library.

  • You keep the parent informed.

    After every lesson you send the parent a short written note about what you covered. Every 10 lessons you write a progress report.

What we handle

We find the students and handle the billing

The work most tutors find hardest is finding families and getting paid. We take care of both.

  • We find the families.

    We advertise across Australia and speak with each family before we match them with a tutor.

  • Families see your profile first.

    Before the first lesson, the family sees your tutor profile, so they know who is coming and why you were chosen.

  • We book the first lesson.

    We book each student’s first lesson with you. After that, you arrange lesson times directly with the family.

  • We bill families in advance.

    Families are billed each week before their lessons, so you never have to chase a payment.

Who we’re looking for

Teachers and high achievers who can explain things clearly

Our tutors are a mix of qualified teachers and students or graduates who did very well in the subjects they teach. You don’t need a teaching degree. You do need to know your subjects well and be able to explain them to a student who is stuck.

  • You’re 18 or older and have the right to work in Australia.
  • You hold a current Working With Children Check, or you’re willing to get one before your first lesson.
  • You know your subjects well, through teaching, study or strong results.
  • For in-home lessons, you have a driver’s licence and your own car.
  • For online lessons, you have a laptop and a reliable internet connection.
