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.
The whole interview process was a joke. Everyone gets a job here. As long as you are breathing you are a tutor.
You could tell them you were a rocket scientist from MIT and they’d believe you without checking.
The worst part about working here is you’ll get hired and then you won’t get any students. Maybe one per year if you are lucky.
Problem is all the reviews for Varsity on every site are fake. It gives a false impression that the company is good to work for when in actuality it's horrible.

Question 1
I felt a lot of the questions were racially biased.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Varsity Tutors (University Park, MD) in Aug 2025
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.
