I applied online. I interviewed at Tutor.com (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
There was a mock online session where you had to have a virtual student online who you helped. The interviewer pretended to be a student and I helped them with an English writing issue. Part of it was with voice enabled.

Question 1
There were just the usual questions about your theory of education.
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.

Question 1
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.

Question 1
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?
