I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors
Interview
I filled out an online application giving my tutoring experience, then got contacted by email for an interview. We met at a Starbucks and the woman interviewing me kept it pretty short. I was asked about my current plans for school and work, basically to determine how long I intended to work as a tutor with the company. I was planning on just a couple of years and she seemed to like that response. Then she went through a few questions from the subjects I had listed in my application and asked how I would help a client work through the problem. She also assured me that she was not testing my academic abilities. So I did my best, which included explaining where to look to solve some problems I was unprepared to solve. Then she told me that I had the job, pending the background check. I got an official email with the job offer the next week.

Question 1
She asked me to treat her as a client with a homework problem from geometry. She came with three worksheets of problems from the various subjects I had listed on my application. I don't remember the exact question, just that I had forgotten how to do it.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors in Feb 2018
Interview
The interview was very straightforward including a series of video interviews where you record yourself answering a couple questions asking to detail qualifications and reasons for getting hired, and a set of questions toward the end of the interview that asked you to explain certain problems from subject areas of your choice.

I applied online. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Lancaster, PA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Varsity Tutors has a basic Online Application. They are eager for more tutors and answer quickly. An agent set up a phone interview and called me. It was quite an easy process. From there, Varsity Tutors has Skills Tests for tutors to take. For each Skills Test you pass, you are approved to teach that subject.

I applied online. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Fairfax, VA) in June 2017
Interview
I am giving the interview process a thumbs down because, I never actually talked to a human being during the entire process. I literally put on a suit and talked to my laptop. I had to record my answers to interview questions on a platform called Hire View. You are given practice questions to get used to the platform. However, once you are ready to record your actual interview you only have one shot at recording your answer.

How would you explain how to add fractions with unlike denominators.
