Teachers Can Apply Now
Become a teacher on HomeTeacher and be a part of the movement. Support children learning from home and your fellow casual teachers in need of extra income support.
What is HomeTeacher and who is behind it?
HomeTeacher is a new service that connects parents who need extra learning support for their school aged children with accredited teachers, to engage in one-on-one online learning for a set time.
HomeTeacher is brought to you by ClassCover, the platform that connects thousands of schools with thousands of casual teachers across Australia and New Zealand.
Created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, HomeTeacher’s goal is to connect out of work casual teachers who are in need of extra income to parents and children in urgent need of learning support during this time.
Pricing and how you will get paid
HomeTeacher will have blanket pricing across all teachers at this point.
The cost of each session is $60 for one hour
HomeTeacher will retain $15 of each payment in order to cover costs. These include insurance, marketing, hosting, and the cost to run the video conferencing software.
For each hour taught, you will receive $45 gross and will be responsible for declaring this in order to pay any taxes owing on your income.
