Questions, answered
Tutor jobs FAQ
Where do lessons take place?
We offer both in-home and online tutoring. In-home students are matched close to you, and you are free to accept or decline student offers. Online tutoring lets you work from anywhere with a reliable setup.
Can I choose what subjects I tutor?
Yes. You nominate the subjects and year levels you are confident teaching, and we only offer you students that match those preferences.
Do I need to be a qualified teacher?
No. We work with tutors from a range of backgrounds. Strong subject knowledge, communication skills and role-model qualities matter more than a teaching qualification.
I've never tutored before. Can I still apply?
Absolutely. Previous tutoring experience is not essential if you meet our criteria. Successful applicants receive onboarding, support and access to tutor resources before getting started.
How many students can I work with?
That depends on your availability and student demand. Most tutors work with around four students per week, but as a contractor you decide how much capacity you want to offer.
I'm an international student. Can I apply?
You are welcome to apply if you have the right to work in Australia. Familiarity with the Australian school system is important, and applications are considered individually.
Is this full time, part time or casual work?
All tutors are engaged as contractors and have complete control over their schedules. They choose when, how, and how often they work, whether that's a couple of hours a week around study or a much bigger weekly load. There's no minimum or maximum number of hours - it's entirely up to you and how many students you choose to take on.
