They may be employed by private acting/drama studios and schools, theatre production companies, independent performing arts schools, private agencies and drama associations, or they may work as sole traders.

This occupation falls under ANZSCO Unit Group 2492 Private Tutors and Teachers. Private tuition refers to supplementary tutoring, covering subjects that are perhaps already taught in schools as part of a formal/ prescribed curriculum, and the tutoring is provided by individuals for profit-making purposes. Private tuition is usually provided to individuals or small groups and the individual pays the cost of the training. The training usually takes place in a private training establishment rather than a school.

Private tuition may be provided by registered school teachers, but would occur outside of a formal school program. Therefore, school teachers may be considered under this occupation if they are providing supplementary tuition to a student or a small group of students outside of the school curriculum.
