What You'll Do

Weekly Group Classes
Support engaging 2-hour Select Entry classes for small groups of 6-12 students across Years 6-8. Subjects covered are:

• Mathematics (Reasoning / Quantitative subtests)
• English (Reading / Verbal subtests)
• Writing (Creative / Persuasive subtests)

NOTE: You will specialise into one subject, so you will not be required to do all three.

Each session follows a structured three-part approach: content delivery to build understanding, targeted practice to reinforce concepts, and assessments to evaluate progress.

Writing
Tutors will mark student submissions and provide prompt, targeted feedback. This flexible marking work can be completed in your own time and is fully compensated.

1-on-1 Tutoring Sessions
Provide personalised tutoring sessions to help students with specific questions, clarify challenging concepts, and reinforce topics they're struggling with to accelerate their understanding.

Text-Based Student Support
Respond to student queries promptly via our messaging platform, providing guidance on exam preparation, study strategies, and academic concerns, forming strong mentoring relationships with your assigned students.

Training & Team Collaboration
Complete initial training, participate in occasional team meetings, and assist with basic resource review as needed to maintain program quality.
