I applied online. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors in Sep 2015
Interview
Like others on here have said, it was pretty simple. You apply and they let you pick a time next week for a phone interview. Mine was for an English tutor position. It lasted about six minutes and the friendly woman on the phone asked me about my availability, whether I had a vehicle, how I would handle a student with an essay prompt, and the definitions of allegory and irony. After a couple of days, I received an email saying that there weren't enough students in the area to continue with the interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me what "allegory" and "irony" are? How would you work with a student who brought you an essay prompt?
I applied online and then they set up an interview with me. The interviewer's questions were straightforward and I also got to ask questions about the job. There was clear follow up on the next steps in the interview process.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Calgary, AB) in May 2024
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.
