I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
This was the most stressful interview I have ever had in my life. I applied and about a week later had an online interview which I expected to be a Skype interview but turned out to be a prerecorded video of a woman reading questions from script into a webcam. In each video I was asked at least three questions (sometimes more), given 30 seconds to think of answers, and 3 minutes to record my response. I was asked to tell them why I was interested in tutoring the subjects I selected in my application but since it had been a week since I'd filled it out I had trouble remembering exactly which subjects I'd selected from their ample list of offerings. Not only did I feel pressured by having to come up with answers before the clock ran out but I felt like I wasn't worth their precious time to even meet.

Interview
The interview is performed in online/ remote setting.
You have to record yourself and you are given two tries to answer few questions asked.
There is a practice question to get you going.
There was no interview process. We just got offer letters and I think its because they are still starting and up and all. But I think its a great opportunity to learn and teach.
