Tutor Hiring/Training: Tutors undergo a rigorous selection and training
process that includes background and reference checks, multiple screening
interviews, skills testing, and extensive preparation. This selection process
involves the following steps:
- Resume Review: We only accept resumes from U.S.-based tutors
with a postgraduate degree (preference is given to certified teachers
and individuals with prior tutoring experience).
- Screening Interview: Promising applicants are initially screened to
determine general ability and willingness to work with students in an
online environment.
- Proficiency Test/ Simulated Session Test: Applicants who pass
the screening interview are tested to determine proficiency within
each relevant subject area. In addition, simulated sessions are used to
test the prospective tutor’s ability to convey ideas clearly.
- Fingerprint/ Background Check: The final round of selection
involves consultation with references and a thorough fingerprint/criminal
background check by a third-party evaluation firm.
- Training: Hired tutors undergo training in proper teaching techniques
and procedures, including Brainfuse’s instructional methodology, and
related academic objectives.
- Ongoing Professional Development: Our curriculum team monitors
sessions for evaluation purposes, reviews archived session transcripts,
and maintains regular contact with all tutors, providing them with
constructive criticism, best practices, and alternate teaching strategies.
