Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto più di una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Tutor.com (New York, NY) nel mese di set 2015
Colloquio
After an application and subject matter test, I connected for a mock session. The "mentor" was acting as a middle school student needing help with homework. Walked the "student" through the assignment and started tutoring. Then was asked a bunch of tricky questions clarifying what I meant. While there was an agenda, after about 30 min the mentor abruptly ended the session, not even finishing the agenda. While some of the session was conducted on voice, most was on chat, but I could hear the "mentor" sighing and typing as she became increasingly combative in her questioning. Very unprofessional. No feedback, just abruptly left.

General tutoring question that became much more than a middle school question.
Fairly simple, was an online interview, had to review material before hand and provide analysis of said information when asked. Asked about experience with tutoring/education. Should get back to you after 2 weeks.

How would you explain how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich to a student who was struggling with the task.
I was scheduled twice for an online interview and both times the interviewer never showed. When I contacted their support team I was told both times to refer to the PDF troubleshooting guide.
First, you apply online. The application took less than 15 minutes. Then, you must pass at least two exams - specific to a top you want to tutor. However, you are not able to take the exam for each subject that the service advertises. Subjects are offered to tutors on a need based timeline. Next, you must conduct a virtual interview. It took approximately 30 minutes and half of the interview was chat based and half of the interview was on voice chat. Overall, if you are a competent tutor and have adequate social skills, you should have no problems passing the interview.

What is an impactful tutoring experience you have had? Why do you want to become a tutor? If a student forgot how to make a PB&J sandwich, how would you help him?
