To ensure consistency, quality and student safety, every mentor undergoes classroom training and holds a verified NSW Working With Children Check. With a deep understanding of the syllabus and the demands of the HSC, our teaching team is here to help students thrive academically and beyond.

The same mentor, year after year

The relationship between a student and their mentor is the part that makes the teaching work. We aim to keep your child with the same mentor throughout their time at Uplift, rather than reassigning them each term.

Interested in joining the team?

We take on qualified teachers, pre-service teachers and high-performing university students across English, Mathematics, the Sciences and the Humanities.
