QCE Chemistry Tutor

Teach students who shape the future.

At Contour Education, we don’t just tutor, we transform the way students learn.

We’re looking for driven and committed QCE Chemistry Tutors to join our passionate team as we expand our tutoring offer into Queensland for the very first time, opening our first campus in Upper Mount Gravatt.

If you’re someone who wants to be part of Contour’s mission to reshape education, one student at a time, now on a national scale, join us and help inspire the next generation of learners.

As a QCE Chemistry Tutor, you’ll lead engaging small-group classes (8–20 students), helping students master challenging content, build confidence, and reach their full potential, all while sharing your passion for science and education.

This is your opportunity to make a real impact, grow as a communicator and leader, and pass on your love for learning to the next generation of high achievers.

Who We Are

At Contour, we’re reshaping education, one student at a time. 

Born from the frustration of students who knew the system could be better, we set out to build what we once wished existed: tutoring that actually works. Not generic classes. Not recycled notes. Not overpriced, overcrowded rooms with an out-of-touch teacher who couldn’t relate. But a complete ecosystem of tutoring, resources, and support, meticulously designed to help every student reach their full potential. 

Since 2020, over 10,000+ students have trusted Contour to guide their academic journey, and we’ve grown to over 300+ team members. We’ve produced hundreds of 99+ ATARs, tutored the World-Record UCAT scorer, and placed more students into medical school than any school in Australia. 

Our growth is a testament to the simple philosophy: Put the student first, always. Everything we design, from our world-class tutor-training programs to our purpose-built campuses, exists to help students master content faster, perform with confidence, and even rekindle the joy of learning. 

Contour is a group of three brands united by one goal: to give every student the best chance to achieve their full potential:

• Contour Education: Reshaping how students master their high school subjects with small-group tutoring, structured resources, and 1-on-1 support across Maths, Science, and English.
• Contour Medprep: Reshaping medical preparation with a proven, step-by-step pathway through the UCAT, interviews, and admissions, led by a team of 100+ medical students. 
• Contour TestPrep: Reshaping test preparation, starting with the selective entry exam, through rigorous tutoring, mock exams, and data-driven feedback to give students a decisive advantage. 

This is Contour. Built by students, for students.
