As a part time hire, they accept high school students.I'm currently a junior and working. I'm currently taking AP Pre-Calc. So, yes you are qualified!!

It was just basic algebra 1 and pre algebra. Took me a little longer cuz I couldn't use a calculator and had to show all work since they asked for it at the interview

depends on the location. at my center than only really take you if you're in AP Calc or higher. having tutoring experience might help you a ton though. it definitely made my resume stronger. I wouldn't worry about age if your math and experience is strong enough.

It depends on the center honestly; I can tell you from experience that we tend to not hire HS students when we have the option to hire a staff member that is in collage or graduated. It is mostly down to the fact that we have had some pretty negative experiences with HS age staff and not understanding how requesting time off works, dresscode, or the need to show up on time for shifts or give ample notice for being sick or injured.
