Tutor with us
Are you interested in volunteering to support high school students? Our summer program is your chance to make lifelong friends, develop professional skills, and share your academic knowledge with the community!
Each summer program is organised by a team of Program Directors.
The selection and recruitment process of Program Directors for the 2026 VCE Summer Tutoring program has begun.
How do I apply to volunteer?
Tutor applications for the 2026 VCE Summer Tutoring program will open later in 2025. For now, you can submit an expression of interest below.
Volunteers are eligible for a tutor role if they have completed six months of tertiary study and hold a valid Victorian Working With Children Check (WWCC) or equivalent. Please reach out to program@vcesummertutoring.au if you have any questions about this.
What does volunteering with our program involve?
During the program (typically two weeks in early January), tutors deliver lessons with students and meet with students for one-on-one tutoring. Most volunteer roles will consist of in-person and online responsibilities. There are also opportunities to take on Specialist Roles supporting people, activities and academic delivery. The minimum on-program time commitment is about 17 hours over the two weeks.
You can read more about volunteering with us on our Volunteer Academic Tutor role description. Updated role descriptions will be published later in the year, but for now you can see the role descriptions as they applied to the 2025 program.

Tutor Interviews
All volunteers must undertake an interview with the Program Directors before they are offered a position at our summer program. This year, we ran two rounds of interviews in September and November. We may consider holding interviews with applicants in December depending on program need.
If you would like support in preparing for your interview, you can read our Pre-Interview Module here.
