I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
The Interview Process was relatively straight forward, painless, and moved along fairly quickly - minus a technical glitch I encountered once (the interviews are all conducted online). I had two online video interviews and a final phone call "orientation" which took no longer than 15-20 minutes after I was offered the job. Everything else seems to be done online via their website/my personal account I have with them in which they notify me of available tutoring opportunities. The last step is to fill out your tutor profile which should include a picture and a personal statement listing your hobbies and specialty areas for teaching. I interviewed and was hired within 2-3 weeks of sending in my initial job application!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
After the initial questions, they put you in a mock tutoring scenario where you need to respond accordingly, acting as if the interviewer is the student.
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.
