You can deliver your tutorial online or in person. Many tutors deliver lessons at the student’s residence or in a public library.

 At TutorTime, our primary focus is on grades 7-12, but you can teach at all levels between K-12, as well as university and adult education. Our tutors come from different backgrounds. They can be university students, and can be NESA-accredited teachers, musicians, language teachers, sports coaches, surfers, people teaching their passions, artists, or university professors.

The Working With Children Check (WWCC) is a requirement for anyone who works or volunteers in child-related work in NSW. It involves a National Police Check (criminal history record check) and a review of reportable workplace misconduct. The check will be valid for 5 years, however, applicants are continuously monitored.

You can apply online for your WWCC, each state maintains its own WWCC process, see below for state-based information.

An Australian Business Number (ABN) is a unique 11 digit number that identifies your business to the government and community. You’ll need a valid ABN to become a TutorTime tutor, but it is simple to get-click on the link here-it will only take a few minutes to register!

Our tutors are, at the lowest level, university students who have achieved an ATAR of above 90. If you hold a postgraduate degree, that’s great! The more experience you have, the higher the rate you’ll receive for each tutorial.

You’ll also need a valid Working With Children Number (WWCC), an Australian Business Number (ABN) along with a reference.

You’ll be paid on the same you work every single day, simply fill in your bank details to your profile, and we’ll pay you straight after you fulfil your lesson. Cool right?

You can start when it suits you, and you can work as often or as little as  you want. You are your own boss-how good is that!

We understand things can change, so cancelling a job sometimes happens. Try to give as much notice as you can but if you need to cancel a job, just tap on cancel job in the app next to your booking and it is as simple as that!

If your student cancels within 24 hours of the tutorial booking time you will be paid automatically on cancellation. If your booking is cancelled with more than 24 hours notice you will not be paid but your booking time will become available again for someone else to potentially book you.

Please tell them you are under contract, as are they, and you cannot do this unless they want to pay fine!

No, it is not appropriate. If they request that you do, please decline.

All our tutors hold a current WWCN that is linked to TutorTime. We report all child protection issues directly to the police.

Please dress in smart casual attire. We request that you do not wear thongs, ripped jeans, midriffs or beach wear.

Your personal data is safe with us. Please rest assured we will never share or distribute your personal data outside of TutorTIme.
