Tutoring jobs — part-time and casual teaching work

Tutoring pays well for your time, fits around study, and builds communication and leadership skills. If you're strong in a subject — maths, English, science, languages, music — there's demand.

What tutoring jobs involve

Tutors work with school or university students one-on-one or in small groups, in person or online. Employers and tutoring centres often require a Working With Children Check — it's a state-based clearance you apply for yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Working With Children Check to tutor?

For most tutoring involving children, yes — the requirement is set by each state and you apply for it directly. Gigly verifies identity and work rights, not sector clearances, so employers will ask for it separately.

How much can tutors earn?

It varies widely by subject, level and employer. Check the advertised pay on each listing and ask whether it's per student or per hour.

Can I tutor online?

Yes — many tutoring roles are fully online, which suits uni students and regional job seekers.
