The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors
Interview
Applied online got the link to do a video interview. After 3 days got an email from a recruiter to shedule an phone interview and to finsh uploading documents to my online profile which I did. The interview itself was kinda unnecessary because it were the same questions from the video interview and I could tell that the recruiter is definately going to a script - it did not seem natural. In the end I was told that all my answers will be submitted to the team which is in charge of my location and was told to be patient for their answer (3 days+)due to the amount of applications they have receceived for Houston, TX. The general "thank you but no answer" came really quick and I'm sure its because I said that I have another job, not having a car to meat up with students and that I'm just gonna do it online when I can.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What kind of approach would you use to diffrent age groups of students?
I answered questions about how I would respond to various teaching scenarios in real time. The interviewer was a Bot, which surprised me. The Bot gave validating feedback throughout the interview. I wasn't sure if that was a good sign or not, thinking the platform might do that in any case. But I got hired.

I applied online. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors in Nov 2025
Interview
Didn't even complete the interview. I expected it to be a normal one-way interview, but it was a conversation with a talking AI bot. I closed out of it immediately.
Makes me wonder what else they are using AI for in replace of actual employees.
