faq

let’s talk basics

how do I apply for the tutoring position at Yo!?

Yo, welcome! First of all, you should register and apply here. You will have to fill in some personal and professional info, besides uploading a few videos where you will showcase your awesome English skills and your amazeballs personality. Remember to check the info on the dashboard home so that you know how to keep track of your application. Good luck, champ!
what are the main requirements for the position?

Buckle up, buttercup: you should be at least 18 years old, your English should be pretty fluent and proficient - and let’s not forget the importance of good communication skills though (no, it’s not the same!). Also, as much as we like freedom and parties and stuff, we need you guys to work in a quiet and distraction-free environment, okay? Oopsie, we almost forgot - you need a computer (laptop/desktop), a reliable and fast internet connection, and superb audio and video equipment. We must also check an official ID with your picture, name, date of birth, and nationality to ensure you are you. We never know, right?
how fast should my internet connection be?

Fast and furious! Joke, just fast - we don’t do furious around here. Fast means at least 25 Mbps (download speed against one of the São Paulo servers). If you can't have that speed for reasons you can't control, we can try it out with a minimum of 15 Mbps and run a QA test with you. The final decision will depend on that - we want to provide good quality service (no hard feelings, alright?)! You may use Speedtest to measure your connection speed - don’t forget to change the server accordingly.
are there any restrictions regarding tutors’ location/country of residence?

As much as we would like to allow people from all over the world to apply and work for us, we are limited to countries where Payoneer - the service we use to pay our people - operates. Check the official Payoneer website to see if your country is on the list (the list is available on the registration screen). Other than that, since we are a US-based company, we are sadly not allowed to hire individuals from countries embargoed/sanctioned/restricted by the US government. Please check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) website for reference.
what does the recruitment process look like?

Here’s the deal: after you submit your application, our busy bees will check it out, and if we think you’re a catch, we will invite you to The Convo. Our convos are 45 minutes long and not classic interviews, so rest assured you’ll have some fun while exchanging helpful information with one of our crew members. After this, we will let you know about the outcome in a few days, and if everything goes well, you will sign the contract, and we will request tons of stuff from you as we want your profile to be dope and fab! Once you submit all those things, you are ready to take on the world! (well, Brazil only for now, but you gotta start somewhere).
I haven’t received a confirmation email for my scheduled Convo. What should I do?

This is a system-related email, so it’s not like we’re ghosting you. First, ensure you haven’t missed any emails from us (check your spam and promo folders). If you cannot find the email, please contact us at [email protected].
what if I can’t attend my scheduled Convo?

Okay, we are a very serious company if you haven’t figured it out so far. We know that life happens, so it’s okay to reschedule your appointment. Just let us know you won’t show up before the meeting at [email protected], or email us as soon as possible to let us know what happened. No one likes to get stood up, right?
how soon can I expect to start working?

Hold your horses, babe - there are a few things that you need to do before we activate your account:

- Submit your profile information (photos, video, introduction, etc.)
- Submit your payment information (this can be done after account activation as well)
- Sign the contract

You will have up to 30 days to submit all data. We will send you reminder emails if you forget to do some of these things. We got you.
how soon can I reapply if I don’t pass the screening/Convo?

Babes, check the email we sent you – that information is there. Of course, you can always email us to double-check. We know you like talking to us.
is having a teaching certificate an advantage?

Is Earth round? While this will certainly attract yosers, it’s not a requirement for the position, so worry not if you don’t have one. Remember that your best advantage is being a one-of-a-kind conversationalist willing to teach yosers through fun and educational conversations.
if I don’t pass, can I delete the information I submitted upon applying?

Sure, no problemo! For us to do this, you must submit a detailed request and email us at [email protected]. We may ask you for additional info, though. We will delete your data except for the following deets:

Name
Nationality
Email address
Passport scan (for identification purposes only)
1 assessment video
Interview video recordings

The above information will be retained for 12 months after requesting or withdrawing from the selection process. The purpose of this is to monitor and prevent fraud reapplications of applicants. All other information not mentioned will be deleted permanently. Please refer to our Tutor Privacy Notice for more deets.
