I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (Berkeley, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
I was recommended by my roommate. I received an email detailing requirements including a physics skills test, teaching audition, and a 3 day teaching training. If all three were completed to an acceptable level, one would be hired. The test was based on MCAT style physics questions. They aren't easy. You receive a list of possible concepts that you prepare a short lecture on.
The teaching training is a weekend long bootcamp. You must prepare 4 lectures to present to your trainer and fellow trainees.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at The Princeton Review in Apr 2016
Interview
It was an interview on the phone in which I spoke on a topic for 5 minutes. I chose a topic on Physics and explained it along with the slide show that I emailed them. The person taking my interview acted as a student and I tried explaining concepts by asking questions.

Question 1
What are the reasons for your interest in teaching?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (Austin, TX) in June 2015
Interview
After applying they sent me a physics test just to make sure you know what you're talking about. If you've taken a few intro physics classes you'd know everything on the tests. Instead of an interview, they ask you to audition by teaching them something non-academic in 5 minutes. After that they asked me to come back to do another, this time specifically on a physics question.
