Neutral experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Tucson, AZ) in Jul 2023

Interview

Very informal. Answer some basic questions about experience, interests, exam scores and a 10 min trial session in which you cannot screen share. Have yet to speak to anyone from the company.

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

They asked for a videoed tutor session on a topic you are comfortable with. Gave 15 min prep time and required 10 minutes max. However, would not allow screen share and I was recording on my phone which made it tough.
