What to include
To maximise your success, make sure your advertisement has:
- A clear title that mentions the key requirements or needs (e.g. Year 9 Maths Tutor Required).
- A succinct summary of the opportunity (e.g. Seeking maths tutor for a Year 9 student, 1-hour session once per week for the foreseeable future. At my home in Clayton or nearby public library).
- A detailed description of your needs/requirements and any additional information.
Make sure to include the:
- subject(s)

- minimum hourly pay rate offered (tutors may have their own rate, but you will need to specify the minimum rate you’ll offer) – see below for our requirements.
Hourly pay rates
The minimum pay rate you offer needs to comply with, or exceed, our rates. Tutors may have and offer their own rate when you talk to them.
Tutor level of study | Student level of study | ||
---|---|---|---|
Prep to year 9 | Year 10–12 | Tertiary | |
Undergraduate | $35 | $40 | $45 |
Graduate | $40 | $45 | $50 |
Group tutoring
Group tutoring pay rates are calculated for the entire group, not per-student.
- Groups of two: 1.5 times the hourly rate
(e.g. $35 becomes $52.5, averaging to $26.25 per hour, per person) - Groups of three or more: 2 times the hourly rate
(e.g. $35 becomes $70, averaging to $23.33 per hour, per person for a group of 3)
If your child is under 18
Your tutor will require a Working with Children Check.
