It was an on-site interview where I met with the manager. I also had to do a couple of trial lessons to see how well I could engage with the kids and the lead. We talked about general details and my training, the contract type, how long it would be, and when I could start.

The interview is pretty standard. You'll sit down with the Head Coordinator in their office, and they'll ask you about your past experience, what you prefer, your strong points, and your availability. Usually, you get a response from the company pretty fast.

I first encountered them at a job fair. After leaving my resume, I sent a follow-up email the next day. They confirmed the interview via phone and email. I went to their office in Fremont, CA. I met with the recruiter and we talked about my experience, what I'm looking for, and any questions I had. It was pretty chill. Got the offer about a week and a half later.

There were two rounds of interviews: an individual and a group interview. Both happened at a round table restaurant. The recruiter would give a scenario and ask how you'd solve it. In the group interview, we were split into groups of two or three. Each group got different lecture material. After about ten to fifteen minutes of prep, we had to give a real teach.
