First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Huntington Learning Centers.
Director
The interview process was straightforward and efficient, with prompt feedback. The hiring team was approachable and engaged in good conversation, following up quickly. They were transparent about the position and its requirements, and also candid about the reasons the role became available.
- Why are you interested in this particular position?
Tutor
I recently interviewed at Yorktown Heights. The process had three parts: a phone screen, an 80-minute in-person assessment (unpaid), and a final interview. The first two parts were fine, but the final interview was rough. They made me wait 30 minutes, and the executive director left three times for phone calls. I didn't get a chance to ask any questions. I withdrew my application after that. The director got defensive when I gave feedback and made excuses, and still no apology for the delay. The interview questions were easy, mostly about my experience with kids and how I'd handle situations like an unengaged student. They seem to hire anyone with a bachelor's and who passes the assessment. Pay is $16/hour, near minimum wage in Westchester, and it's part-time with no benefits.
- What would you do if a student wasn't motivated or didn't engage with the material?
Reading Teacher
I got a call that was super quick, under 10 minutes. They emailed to ask for my phone number even though it was on my application materials. They gave me the basic lowdown on the job, mentioning that sometimes kids might not show up, meaning no pay, and the hours are unpredictable with no guarantees. Then, they asked me to come in for an unpaid ACT test, specifically the 80-minute Reading and Writing part.
- Do you have prior experience teaching children?
Math Tutor
We spoke for about 30 minutes total. She asked about my past experience, my upcoming goals, and if I had any expectations for the job. I discussed my own academic path as a student who took a different route, working two jobs while getting my Math degree. I gave a quick rundown of the classes and coursework I completed for teacher certification, classroom management, and professional development. I finished by mentioning how I've been successfully tutoring STEaM students online for several years, and also giving music and guitar lessons fully online. Then we talked about when I'm free, how many hours a week it might be, what the center expects from employees, and we scheduled a time for me to come back and take a test to prove my knowledge meets their basic requirements. Overall, it was a great experience.
- Regarding your experience, how many students do you currently tutor?
