I chatted with the manager on the phone, and we set up an interview date. After the interview, the manager handled my background check. Once that was cleared, I was asked to come in to observe a class and do some job shadowing. Before I started the shadowing, I also got oriented on how to assist the kids with their worksheets and how to correct them.

Do shadowing for two weeks. Assist with kids with grading and help with homework. Help with maintenance. Managers/Owners were strict but other tutors were nice. Other places might give you a test to see how well you do on the reading and math.
