- Interview Process: We conduct interviews through Spark Hire, a one-way video interview platform. We like using this instead of typical 1:1 video interviews, to allow you to: prepare by having time to think about our questions, do the interview on your own time schedule, and showcase your skills through a brief teaching demonstration.

- Being Placed as a Tutor: We are currently building our Tutor community and piloting Tutor engagements in school districts around the country.
