I filled out an online questionnaire and was immediately emailed with an invitation to a phone interview. The phone interview was fairly brief; the questions basically focused on which subjects I'd like to tutor, my availability and my willingness to travel. I felt the phone interview was rushed. At the end, I was invited to schedule an online interview. Between the phone interview and online interview I also had to take 4 assessment tests related to the subjects I hoped to tutor. The online interview used Varsity Tutor's online platform, which helps prepare prospective tutors for using the platform for tutoring. My interviewer was knowledgeable and engaging. Since I was applying to be an English/reading/writing tutor, she asked me how I would guide an 8th-grade student through the process of writing a five-paragraph persuasive paper. At the end of the interview I was offered the job, and the interviewer walked me through Varsity Tutor's independent contractor agreement. She said I could sign it then or wait and sign it within 24 hours; I spent some time after the interview reviewing the contract and signed it that evening.
