We are thrilled to offer an exciting opportunity for an organised, committed and enthusiastic individual to join us as a UCAT Tutor at Contour MedPrep.

This is not just an ordinary tutoring position; it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of aspiring medical students. As Australia's leading medical preparation program and highest-scoring UCAT Course, we understand the challenges students face when navigating the complex journey to medical school. Many of these students feel daunted and overwhelmed by the UCAT, and are misguided through their preparation due to a lack of effective support.

In this highly sought-after UCAT Tutor role, you will have the chance to mentor and guide these students, providing them with the knowledge and confidence they need to excel in the UCAT. From teaching classes to mentoring students 1-on-1, your contribution will ensure our UCAT course is a personalised and attentive community for our students. You'll be given access to high-quality teaching material and will be required to do minimal administrative tasks, allowing you to focus primarily on what you do best - tutoring and inspiring students to reach their full potential!
