I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
Began with typical, basic application, then a video interview, using an app that requires you to answer a question in the allotted timeframe. Then, for the topics I wished to teach, I took evaluation exams and for a few topics, received questions during follow-up interview.

Question 1
They asked me to describe what part of my education would qualify me to be an expert tutor.
Intense considering how they do a DBS check quite thoroughly and do not communicate to you much before hand, I expected far better communication as a potential tutor. If you apply here make sure you get your wage's worth

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Cleveland, OH) in Mar 2025
Interview
“The interview process with Varsity Tutors was clear and efficient. After submitting my application, I was asked to complete a brief subject assessment and record a short teaching demo. The instructions were straightforward, and the platform was user-friendly. I appreciated that the process allowed me to showcase my teaching style and subject knowledge without being overly time-consuming. Communication was timely, and I received feedback and next steps fairly quickly. Overall, it was a professional and well-organized experience.”
Online, one-way interview over video. No contact with Varsity Tutor personnel, and took about 25 minutes to complete. Very simple and straightforward process, and they give you time to practice each question.
