Interview
I applied online and was contacted a few days later to set up a phone interview. Phone interview was short, standard questions and some short questions in the end about the subjects you wanted to tutor (ex: derivative of x^2). Skype interview was scheduled a week later. The lady asked similar questions and sent me some test to do while she observed and took notes. The questions were multiple choice, not hard, just remember to freshen up on the subjects you want to tutor.
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.

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.
