Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Tutor Doctor.
Tutor
I applied online for the English & Humanities Tutor job. I said I had full availability, flexibility, enthusiasm, and a Bachelor's degree in English Literature. A recruiter called me while I was at my current job, but I took a break to answer because I was afraid of playing phone tag. They asked why I wanted to teach multiple times and where I saw my future going. I thought this was odd since many tutoring companies hire temporary high school/college students. I mentioned I was fine with temporary work but could also commit to the maximum hours offered. The interviewer then said they didn't need English tutors, only tutors for SATs/ACTs. I was confused because I applied for English, standardized tests have English sections, and tutors are needed year-round, not just for SAT prep. I felt my time was wasted and wondered if my retail job in my late 20s was a factor, as I'm seeking experience. It's a shame an education company might not realize the job market is tough and that lack of experience keeps people in retail. The whole process felt disorganized and disappointing.

They brought me to a local library for an in-person interview. It was a pretty simple process. They asked me about my previous tutoring experience and my experience working with kids. They also needed to know if I had a car or lived close to public transport.
- How would you handle your time if you had several students at once?
- Tell me about your tutoring background.
- What's your experience like working with children?

After applying, I got an email for a phone interview. Then, the next step was a one-on-one meeting. After passing those, there were screening checks like a DBS and then signing the contract.
- Can you describe your past experiences?
