Excellent communication skills and a warm and approachable personality.
Consistent availability throughout each 10-week term (and ideally long-term availability, we are keen for tutors who will be with us at least a year).
Be at least a first-year university student with Proven subject knowledge (a high ATAR or equivalent).
You teach weekly lessons (with either 1 or 2 students per
session) at a centralized location in Canberra alongside
other tutors.
You develop strong working relationships with your
students which many tutors miss out on when working
with larger classes.
You also have the chance to meet and work with other experienced tutors who can help and advise you as you work: it’s a great collaborative environment!
We take care of many aspects of tutoring that can add unpaid time to your schedule such as finding students, scheduling sessions, organizing billing and payments and parental support.
Highly competitive pay ($28.75-36.75 / hour depending
on experience + 9.5% Superannuation where applicable).
Challenging and rewarding work that gives you a true
sense of purpose: you will see amazing progress in the
students you work with!
Brilliant experience for the workplace: the skills you develop as a tutor are vast and varied and will provide a wealth of experience for future jobs.
Adaptable hours: you let us know when you are free for the term, and we then stick to your timetable.
Your application will be reviewed and an outcome reached – we’ll let you know either way!
If you manage to impress us with your resume and cover letter, you’ll be invited to an online interview where we can better discuss your skills.
We will get back to you with our decision, hopefully its a big yes!
We’ll set you up on our various systems and ask you to complete your information. On successful completion of your profile, we’ll get you working as soon as possible!
We look for tutors who are at least in their first year of university, with a strong ATAR or equivalent (certification will be required). All tutors will need to have or obtain an up to date WWVP / WWCC (Working with Children Check) or equivalent before starting work.
At Big Improvements we generally tutor primary school students (K-6). However we do have some secondary school students so it is important to please let us know what Year Level you can teach up to in your application with regards to high school.
We aim to respond to all applicants within a week. However, depending on the time of year or volume of applications this can sometimes take longer.
You will receive an email notifying you of our decision once your application has been reviewed. If it’s been longer than a month and you haven’t heard from us, double check your spam folder to make sure our email isn’t there.
In the cover letter tell us:
– Why you want to tutor with BIT and any relevant experience.
– Your ATAR/equivalent.
– The level you can tutor Maths and English to (we mainly tutor primary school students, but we do have some high school students).
– Your availability throughout the week and your long-term availability.
– The locations you are willing to work at throughout the week..
– Email your CV and cover letter to info@bigimprovements.com.au
