Frequently asked questions

Here are some commonly asked questions. If you need any more clarification, feel free to send us a message on LiveChat or send us an email at [email protected]

I completed my high school outside of Australia. Can I still apply?

Erudite Tuition is an Australian-based tutoring organisation. For applicants who have completed their schooling outside of Australia, we will generally decline your application as experience with the Australian schooling curriculum is mandatory. As such, applicants who have completed schooling in Australia are highly regarded. If you do have relevant experiences with teaching Australian students we do encourage you to apply.

Do I need to be a registered teacher in Australia?

Yes, this page will only accept applications for registered teachers and you’ll be required to upload your proof of accreditation. To apply to become a tutor with Erudite Tuition instead, please visit our Academic Tutor page

Where do my lessons take place?

Depending on your main preference of teaching, this will either be online or at a student’s home. For face-to-face, most of the time you’ll be at the student’s house with some exceptions like libraries etc. We try and get you students near you and you always have the right to accept or decline students. With Online Lessons, we’ll organise a Lessonspace classroom for both you and the student. When it’s time to teach, simply click on the a provided in the email or by logging onto the dashboard to open the class!

How far would I be required to travel for lessons?

For in-person lessons, you’ll be required to travel to a student’s home to conduct the lesson. Please note that we will never force you to teach a student. Every single potential student for you is first confirmed by you before a first trial lesson is arranged. During this time, we will provide full information about travel time and location so you can be completely informed. Additionally, we will always try to offer you students matching your skillset and experiences within 15 minutes of your location one-way so that you will never be required to travel more than a certain time.

How long do I have to work?

At Erudite, we are a big believer in flexibility and tailored experiences for our students. We believe in the same for our teachers. You can work as much or as little as you would like to fit your schedule. All we ask is that you ensure you are able to take a student for the long term before taking on a new student as most students will be looking for a long term mentor. There will be instances where students are looking for some temporary support, which will be made clear in the student details. If you are looking for more short term engagements with students then these will be more suitable for you.

I've never tutored before, can I apply?

Even if you never tutored in a private tutoring context before, your experiences as a classroom teacher will be highly transferrable. The team at Erudite will guide you through the main differences to allow you to get up to speed as fast as possible.

Can I choose the subjects I teach?

Absolutely! You have complete flexibility in choosing whatever subjects you’re comfortable with and would want to tutor at any given time. Generally speaking however, we expect our teachers to be teaching subjects that they already teach at their school.

Where can I get help?

For help regarding the application process, please do not call us as this is mainly reserved for our clients. You can email our dedicated talent team at [email protected]
