I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tutor.com in Dec 2014
Interview
Initial process included a pretty standard application, followed by a content mastery test in the subject you wish to tutor in. The tests themselves are not too difficult, just make sure that review is done beforehand to make sure you know your stuff. The test must be passed with a certain percentage to move on to the next step. The next phase is to schedule a mock tutoring session, which is where a current tutor poses as a student, and asks for help with a question that you will most likely see in a tutoring session for you given subject. As long as you are fairly decent with technology, mastery in your chosen subject, and use the wealth of resources that are given to you, things should go pretty smoothly.
There is a text portion and another portion where you use your voice and camera. You have to identify their 7 tenants of tutoring being used in one of the 3 tutoring examples the gave you to prepare.

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.
