SACE English Teacher / Senior Tutor – Years 11 & 12

$50–$70 per hour | Flexible After-School Hours | Norwood & Metropolitan Adelaide
n
About the Role
n
Smart Path Advisors is expanding its senior secondary academic team and is seeking a current SACE English teacher, experienced senior English educator, or exceptional SACE English specialist to support Year 11 and Year 12 students.
n
Our preference is to work with educators who have current or recent experience teaching SACE English subjects and a strong understanding of contemporary SACE assessment requirements, performance standards and expectations.
n
You will work closely with motivated senior students across SACE English, English Literary Studies and Essential English, providing high-quality, individualised academic mentoring alongside the support they receive at school.
n
This is not simply a homework-help role. We are looking for an educator who can provide teacher-quality academic guidance, challenge capable students, identify weaknesses in written work and help students develop the skills required to achieve strong SACE outcomes.
n
The role is particularly well suited to a current SACE English teacher looking for flexible additional work outside school hours, while remaining focused on teaching and mentoring.
n
What You'll Be Doing
n
Deliver individualised academic support to SACE Stage 1 and Stage 2 English students
n
Mentor students across English, English Literary Studies and Essential English
n
Strengthen analytical writing, textual analysis, comparative writing and creative responses
n
Help students understand and apply SACE performance standards and assessment requirements
n
Provide detailed, constructive and academically rigorous feedback on student drafts
n
Support students with folios,
school assessments and examination preparation
n
Develop students' argument construction, critical thinking, written expression and vocabulary
n
Identify areas for improvement and develop targeted strategies for individual students
n
Adapt support according to each student's school, subject, assessment requirements and academic goals
n
Maintain brief session records and communicate relevant academic progress with the Smart Path Advisors team
n
Deliver some one-on-one sessions at students' homes across metropolitan Adelaide where required
n
About You
n
We are particularly interested in hearing from current SACE English teachers and experienced senior secondary English educators.
n
The ideal candidate will:
n
Have current or recent experience teaching SACE Stage 1 or Stage 2 English
n
Have a strong understanding of SACE curriculum, assessment requirements and performance standards
n
Demonstrate a high level of expertise in analytical and academic writing
n
Be capable of providing detailed, teacher-quality feedback on senior secondary work
n
Be confident supporting academically ambitious Year 11 and Year 12 students
n
Be able to explain complex concepts clearly and adapt their teaching to individual students
n
Be professional, reliable and committed to maintaining high academic standards
n
Enjoy mentoring students in a more individualised environment than is typically possible within the classroom
n
A recognised teaching qualification is highly regarded, with preference given to applicants who are currently teaching or have recently taught senior secondary English.
n
Experience teaching or assessing English Literary Studies, Essential English, or participating in SACE assessment or moderation will be particularly valuable.
n
Exceptional senior English tutors with a robust record of SACE achievement and demonstrated subject expertise are also encouraged to apply.
n
Experience supporting Flinders University Extension Studies, particularly Women's Studies or Theology, would be advantageous but is not essential.
n
As some sessions are delivered in students' homes, applicants should hold a current driver's licence, have reliable transport and be comfortable travelling within metropolitan Adelaide when required.
n
Why Join Smart Path Advisors?
n
Smart Path Advisors is continuing to develop a high-calibre academic team built around experienced educators, current teachers and subject specialists.
n
We work with families who value education and students who are looking for more than general tutoring. Our focus is on providing structured, subject-specific academic mentoring that complements the student's school education and supports meaningful improvement.
n
For current teachers, the role provides an opportunity to work more closely with individual students, provide deeper feedback and see the direct impact of your teaching in a one-on-one environment.
n
We provide established students, academic coordination and administrative support so that our educators can concentrate on what they do best — teaching, mentoring and helping students achieve strong academic outcomes.
