High School Science Tutor - Full Time

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 20,000+ 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

This is teaching as a craft, full-time, with the administrative load taken off you.

• Teach small-group classes across our Core, Mastery and Extension programs, from students finding their footing to students aiming for the top.
• Teach from the Contour workbook. Our subject team writes the curriculum, homework, practice assessments and exams. Your prep is deciding how to teach it, not what to teach.
• Mentor students through high school. You'll share what worked in your own academic path and help them build the habits that carry the year.
• Develop the craft of explanation. Through the Contour Tutor Academy you'll learn to break complex concepts into the moments where it clicks.

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 40+ result in at least two VCE science subjects, or one VCE science subject along with four university-level science units at 80+ WAM
• Availability for a full-time role, committed across a full academic year (we can consider 0.6-0.9 FTE too)
• Energy, empathy, and a desire to help students
• Alignment with Contour's mission (non-compete agreement required)
