I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tutor.com in Dec 2009
Interview
Take several skills tests for the areas you want to teach, such as physics or geometry. After passing the tests, you are given a software to download that teaches you how to use the Tutor.com classroom. Then, you finally have a 1:1 interview with a current mentor, who asks you to explain a concept using the classroom and "mock teach" a session. After passing this, you go on a trial period for one month, after which if you have maintained a good rating from students, you become a regular tutor.

Interview
The interview process at Tutor.com was straightforward. First, I had to complete at least one subject exam that was on demand, which took me a few days. Once I passed, the rest of the process was smooth and simple, including setting up my profile and waiting for approval to start working.

Interview
It was a quick and easy interview process but the job description made it seem more intense than it actually was, which was relieving but also a little annoying because it was misleading.

Question 1
One question they asked is how I would navigate teaching a student who was struggling with a concept.
The interview tested technical skills, but primarily tested communication/customer service skills. Also tested how well I could solve problems, or alter teaching strategies if one wasn’t working. The interviewer was very nice and complimented me when I did things well, and offered different approaches I could also take.
