Preferred: able to teach Extension 1, Extension 2 and/or EAL/D; a teaching qualification or NESA accreditation; tutoring-college or classroom experience.

HOURS

Casual, weekday afternoons/evenings (from 4 pm) and weekends. Lessons are usually one hour.



Lesson times are agreed with you as students are matched to your availability.

PAY

REQUIREMENTS

- Australian work rights for the advertised hours (checked before you start)
- A current NSW Working With Children Check clearance for paid work, verified by us before any lesson, including a trial lesson (an application in progress is not enough)

HOW WE SELECT – TWO PAID TRIAL LESSONS

Instead of a formal interview, shortlisted applicants teach two one-hour trial lessons with students at our Strathfield campus. Trial lessons are paid. Our decision is based on how these two lessons go. We'll give shortlisted applicants the details.
