About Nova Scholars

Nova Scholars is a tutoring centre in Mount Waverley. Most people know us for VCE, and in 2027 we’re opening our doors to younger students with Year 7 to 10 Maths. The idea is easy: get students confident in maths early, so VCE isn’t a shock when they get there.

Classes are small, so you’re not lecturing a room of strangers. You know every student by name, you know what they’re struggling with, and you’re the one who gets them through it. We’ve moved into a new centre on Stephensons Road and we’re building our team for 2027. We’d love you to be part of it!

The role

You’ll teach a weekly 2 hour small group maths class for each of your year levels.

You will:

- Teach the week’s content clearly and work through problems with the class
- Get around to every student during the class, and have a genuine passion for teaching
- Keep track of who is falling behind and who needs extending
- Let us know how students are going so we can keep parents in the loop

The commitment

- Around 15 hours per fortnight
- In person at our Mount Waverley centre. This is not an online role.
- Classes are scheduled between 4-9pm on Weekdays and 9-7pm on weekends and we aim to offer flexibility in class times to suit your schedule!
- We need you for the full 2027 school year. Students do best with the same tutor all year and we value your commitment!

Who we’re looking for





- Preferably a study score of 40+ in a VCE maths subject
- Preferably an ATAR of 90+
- You finished VCE in 2026 or in the last few years
- You’re good with younger students. You can make Year 8 algebra make sense without talking down to anyone.
- You have a Working with Children Check
- Tutoring experience helps but you don’t need it

No ATAR yet? Apply anyway.

If you’ve just finished Year 12, don’t wait for results. Apply now and tell us the study scores and ATAR you’re expecting. We’ll confirm your 40+ and 90+ once results are out.

What you get

- $35-40 per hour plus super
- Regular hours each fortnight, so you can plan around uni
- Small classes, not a lecture hall
- Paid training before your first class!
- The chance to move into VCE classes as you prove yourself
