Schools can use small group tuition staff for multiple roles (e.g. SGT in the morning, RFF in the afternoon), by combining funding sources.

Creating a ClassCover profile

ClassCover is a third-party booking platform that allows schools to see who is available for casual teaching along with small group tuition work in their school. Schools can search the database and communicate with educators regarding opportunities available in their school.

For interested applicants, please visit the ClassCover website and follow the instructions to set up a profile. If any difficulties arise, please contact their customer support.

Creating a profile is encouraged and will enable schools to see applicants availability and contact them with SGT opportunities.

Once registration has taken place and a profile has been created, applicants will be notified by email. Applicants will then be able to search for jobs and let schools know if they are available to support the Small Group Tuition program as an educator.

If applicants already have a ClassCover profile, they should state their interest in participating in the program in their bio.
