Private Tutor — Melbourne (In-Person & Online)

About Erudite Tuition

Erudite Tuition is a private tutoring agency covering Kindergarten to Year 12 across Greater Melbourne. We handle student acquisition, needs assessment, tutor-student matching, scheduling, lesson materials, lesson recording, payments, issue escalation and resolution, and ongoing family communication. This ensures that our tutors can focus on teaching and achieving the best results for our students.

We currently have more qualified families waiting for tutors than we can supply, which means immediate, ongoing work for the right people.

What tutoring at Erudite Tuition is like

You'll deliver structured 1-to-1 lessons (in-person, online, or both) to students in subjects you're confident teaching. Sessions are typically after school or on weekends. You choose your subjects, your hours, and your format. We match you with students near you (for in-person) or anywhere in Victoria (for online). Most tutors work 3–15 hours per week alongside university or other commitments.

Pay structure

In-person lessons start at $42/hr, progressing to $54/hr. Tutors who consistently deliver strong student outcomes can earn up to $80/hr. Online lessons start at $32/hr, progressing to $42/hr. KPI-based bonuses are available on top of base rates. Travel reimbursement is provided for in-person lessons.
