I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Houston, TX) in Apr 2016
Interview
First step was to fill out an online form on their website. I filled out basic information and submitted a resume. They allowed me to specify what courses I would like to teach at this time. Second step, was a phone interview to screen new applicants. They try to get to know who you are and they do this for two reasons. One, they of course want to make sure you are fit to work on their team. Two, when you are a fit they want to get to know more about you so they can better place you with perspective clients. If you make it through this two step process you will be given access to the tutors portal and within a few days to a week you may begin to see client assignments.
I was reached out to via email to set up next steps and schedule the video interview. I had to schedule an online teaching video and do a mock tutoring session type thing.
There was not one only exams that had to be passed to teach certain subjects. It is an AI test so it is set up like an interview. I really liked this process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I fully understood the material I was teaching.
You are sent a link to an online video interview. They ask you about previous tutoring experience and the last question was asking you to do a mock-tutoring session. It's very awkward because you have to make up what you want to teach on the spot, but you get unlimited time to think of responses.
