8-Step Application Guide
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The guide below is the collective result of hundreds of successful tutors who have collaborated to make the 30-minute application process as smooth as possible for new tutors.
Experience has shown that applying without referring to EACH STEP covered in this guide will lead to your application being rejected because you will inevitably make mistakes on sections which may seem intuitive at first glance.
Recommendation: Keep the following guidelines in one browser window and the application (link in step 1) open in another browser window and check for each step whether you are complying with the instructions in the guidelines.
