I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors in Sep 2021
Interview
Virtual video interview conducted via HireVue. You will not get to speak with a real person, but rather record yourself answering interview questions. You get two attempts to record your answers before having to submit. Recording length varies with each question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview had three parts. The first was a series of three questions you ad to record answers to.
Q1: Introduce yourself and briefly highlight your resume with a focus on tutoring/teaching experience. Include how long you tutored for in each position along with the age group of those you tutored.
Q2: Explain why you are qualified to tutor in the subjects you selected in your application.
Q3: What age does your personality fit best with? How would you modify your approach to work with different age ranges?
The second question was another two questions you had to answer. One was a video recording and the second was a short answer.
Q1: Prepare a 10-minute lesson plan and teach it. (They give you 10 minutes to prepare and you are not allowed to share your screen or content).
Q2: What is your experience taking and tutoring SAT, ACT, and related placement tests?
Section three was a mini-game that asks you to pick between two images. There are 52 sets of this to complete.
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.
