HSC Biology Tutors

Job description

Who We Are 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. Contour is a group of three brands united by one goal: to give every student the best chance to achieve their full potential: Contour Education: Reshaping how students master their high school subjects with small-group tutoring, structured resources, and 1-on-1 support across Maths, Science, and English. Contour MedPrep: Reshaping medical preparation with a proven, step-by-step pathway through the UCAT, interviews, and admissions, led by a team of 100+ medical students. Contour TestPrep: Reshaping test preparation, starting with the selective entry exam, through rigorous tutoring, mock exams, and data-driven feedback to give students a decisive advantage. This is Contour. Built by students, for students. What You Will Do Teach: Run a 2-hour small-group class each week in a U-shaped room built for discussion, plus a weekly workshop, teaching Biology through Contour’s intuitive in-class materials. Engage: Lead classes full of discussion, exploration, diagrams, and videos, keeping every student involved rather than lectured at. Mentor: Be the teacher, mentor, coach, and friend your students need: someone they can ask anything, look up to, and be inspired by. Support: Work the room, catch misconceptions early, and give students the individual help they need to walk out confident. Prepare Them to Perform: Get your students ready for the internal assessments, Trials, and HSC exams that decide their results, sharing the strategies that worked for you. What You Will Bring 98+ ATAR with a Band 6 in HSC Biology. A love of teaching and the patience to explain a concept three different ways until it clicks.
