I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tutor.com in Jun 2013
Interview
You will first complete an online application. Once it is reviewed you will be asked to take a few online tests in subjects you believe you are qualified to teach. After this has been completed, you will be given a week or so to prepare for a mock session in which you "teach" a tutor.com employee and demonstrate your ability. In general, the process is streamlined if you apply for a subject that they need currently (generally calculus, physics, etc. are needed).
