Job Description

Algebra.com.au helps NSW's most ambitious high school students turn strong HSC mathematics results into exceptional ones — moving students from a 60–70% baseline to 95% and beyond in Advanced, Extension I and Extension II Mathematics.

n

We do this by removing every administrative burden from our lecturers so they can focus on one thing: the craft of teaching. Lessons are framework-based, mapped into full difficulty arcs from first principles to the hardest questions a paper can ask, and delivered live to auditoriums of 20–60 students, filmed and streamed.

n

We're growing and looking for a full-time High School Mathematics Lecturer to join our team.

n

Role Summary:

n

In this role, you will own multiple teaching streams across Stage 5.3 and Stage 6, Advanced, Extension I and/or Extension II; guiding the same cohort of students through a full 12-month arc across every major topic in the syllabus, live, recorded, in front of rooms of up to 60 students.

n

You'll work closely with our Head of Education as an editorial partner on lesson structure, pacing and delivery, with a single shared objective. Taking students who are already valuable/above average at mathematics and making them exceptional at it.

n

Key Responsibilities

n

In your first 90 days, you will:

n

Design and deliver lectures across probability, algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, complex numbers, vectors, mechanics and statistical reasoning.

n

Take ownership of one or more streams in Stage 5.3 and/or Stage 6, across Advanced, Extension I and/or Extension II.

n

Build lessons around deliberately provocative questions: a proof that seems too good to be true, or a result that looks wrong until it isn't. We want you to make difficult ideas approachable.

n

Read a room of 20–60 students in real time and adjust pacing,



energy and delivery accordingly.

n

Partner with our Head of Education to refine lesson structure ahead of each live stream.

n

Ongoing Responsibilities:

n

Guide a consistent group of students through a 12-month teaching phase across the full syllabus.

n

Extend teaching beyond strict syllabus boundaries whenever it builds deeper intuition or unlocks higher-order questions.

n

Continuously sharpen your explanations of the hardest concepts, so what was once difficult becomes obviously approachable.

n

Requirements (Must-Have):

n

Demonstrated experience teaching Stage 5.3, Advanced, Extension I and/or Extension II Mathematics.

n

University-level study in at least one of: differential equations, real or complex analysis, group theory, abstract algebra, set theory and logic, metric spaces, or vector calculus.

n

A track record of students actively seeking out your classes as evidenced through results, testimonials or retention

n

Genuine command of mathematics as a subject in its own right, beyond its use for passing exams.

n

Fluent, precise command of the English language, with the ability to hold an audience for 180 minutes unscripted.

n

Nice-to-Haves (Preferred):

n

Broad intellectual curiosities outside mathematics — philosophy, history, economics, engineering, Olympiad mathematics, or similar.

n

Comfort performing in front of a live, filmed audience (theatre, public speaking, or similar background).

n

Elementary ability to write mathematics in LaTeX.

n

What Success Looks Like In this role:

n

High satisfaction ratings from your student cohort across each teaching term.

n

Students visibly shifting from pattern-matching remembered methods to independently reasoning through unfamiliar questions.

n

Measurable movement of your students from a 60–70% baseline toward 95%+ in HSC results over a 12-month cycle.
