About My Language Plug:

My Language Plug is a Melbourne-based language education company. We’re launching MLP Schools, small-group language classes delivered in person at schools in Melbourne's South East. We’re building a team of Mandarin tutors who are passionate about teaching young people and understand the responsibility of working with children.

The prospect

We’re seeking independent Mandarin tutors to deliver weekly group classes of about [8–12] students on school campuses, before or after school. Ideally tutors will be fluent/native in Mandarin and already working in Victorian schools. Classes will run in term time, and the number of classes depends on school and family enrolments.

What you’ll do

- Plan and teach engaging small-group Mandarin lessons suited to each group’s level and goals
- Support students from beginner through to senior secondary level, including exam preparation where relevant
- Provide brief progress feedback to us for parent reports
- Follow each school’s visitor, safety and child safeguarding procedures, and the MLP Code of Conduct
- Report any student safety concern immediately

Requirements (Essential)

- Fluent Mandarin with evidence of proficiency
- Experience teaching or tutoring, with a teaching qualification or demonstrable experience
- A valid Victorian Working With Children Clearance (employee check), or willingness to apply immediately.



Any offer is conditional on clearance.
- A national police check, or willingness to obtain one
- Australian work rights
- An ABN, or willingness to obtain one, and your own insurance (details below)
- Reliable access to transport to schools in Melbourne’s south-east
- Commitment to our child safety standards

Desirable

- Teaching qualification such as a Bachelor or Graduate Diploma of Education, or a TCSOL or TESOL certificate
- Familiarity with VCE Chinese study designs
- Reading and writing in simplified characters, with traditional as a bonus
- Experience with group classes or in schools

Licences

There is no specific licence to tutor privately in Victoria. What applies:

- Working With Children Clearance: legally required before any contact with students.
- Police check: required by MLP and commonly by schools.
- Right to work and ABN: required for contractor payments.
- Insurance: public liability, professional indemnity and personal accident cover, with certificates, plus confirmation that abuse and molestation is not excluded.
