Teach students who shape the future.
At Contour Education, we don’t just tutor - we transform the way students learn.
With world-class workbooks designed by subject experts, you’ll lead engaging group classes (8–20 students), helping students build confidence, master Chemistry, and excel in their exams- all while sharing your passion for learning.
We’re looking for driven VCE Chemistry Tutors who bring energy, ambition, and a love of teaching. 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.
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 15,000+ students have trusted Contour to guide their academic journey, and we’ve grown to over 500+ 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. Everything we design, from our world-class tutor-training programs to our purpose-built campuses, exists to help students master content faster, perform with confidence, and even rekindle the joy of learning.
