I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (Overland Park, KS) in Nov 2016
Interview
I have been self-employed as a tutor for 60 years. I also taught college for many years. When I decided I wanted to find an agency, I did a Google search on math tutors. I checked for press reports on Varsity and called them. They asked for a resume, transcript of courses, drivers' license, and background check. Then there was an interview using a computer, so they could see my face. They also asked questions to show my knowledge of the subject.
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

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.
