Tutor.com Tutor interview questions

The Mock Session was like it said it would be. The Mentor was fine with the subject evaluation but as the session went on, I felt that he wanted to log off. Our session was scheduled late in the evening. The questions that I asked him I already knew but was looking for clarity and also to see if he knew or if anything changed. He basically lied to me. For example, the resources said that there will be a final exam. He said that only exam is the initial subject test. I wanted to know how to prepare. Another question was will there be a post survey after the mock session. He said no and immediately logged out with out us concluding formally. Sure enough, I had to submit a post Mock Session survey when he logged out. I got the feeling that he was in a rush, had another Mock Session scheduled or wanted to get ready for the next day as it was a national holiday and a long holiday weekend coming up.

You fill out an online application, take tests in the subjects you want to tutor, provide a writing sample, and do a mock session. It is best to initially take exams for subjects you wouldn't mind having your mock session in. You can always add extra subjects later. The mock session process was pretty simple. I requested a mock session and the mentor promptly accepted the session date. During the mock session, the mentor first gives you some prescripts about what is going to happen and other basic info. Then, she/he poses as a student and asks one question from a subject that you passed. After 20 minutes, the mentor tells you you can stop and goes over some more general information about tutoring.
