I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (New York, NY) in Sept 2017
Interview
The first step is to submit a video application, where you film yourself answering two questions in detail from a selected list of questions relevant to you area of study. They will also have you submit more general answers that are conceptual and or behavioral.
After that there is a submission of transcripts and and other background check, and you will be called for a phone interview. The phone interview is fairly straightforward, with a few questions asked to make sure you know something about the topic you are tutoring for. (I am primarily a math tutor and he asked a few basic Calculus Questions).

Question 1
Are you interested in working with this company? Much of your work will be online and in other peoples homes.
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.

Interview
AI Interview, very easy. Asked very basic question's regarding experience, motivation, etc. I’m a freshman student in UMD and so I haven’t been to many job interviews, but this was genuinely easy.
