Instructor
The iSchool interview process is mainly online and takes about 1-4 weeks. It involves a few steps to see if you know your stuff and can handle kids. You'll start with an HR chat, then do some one-way video interviews (using stuff like Willow), take technical tests, and finish with a demo lesson.
- Can you explain a programming concept?
- What would you do in a particular classroom scenario?
Instructor
First, you submit your CV through their website or job post. Then, there's a quick initial phone screening, about 10-15 minutes, just to see if you're still interested, when you're free, and if you can communicate okay. After that, you'll do a technical assessment, either online or live, testing basic programming stuff like loops and conditions. They might even ask you to explain some simple code like you're talking to a kid. Finally, you'll prepare and deliver a short demo lesson, 10-15 minutes, to show you can explain things clearly and keep beginners or kids engaged.
- Tell me about yourself and your background.
- Have you ever taught children before?
Instructor
First, you have to record a 3-minute video to introduce yourself. If you pass this, you'll proceed to a technical exam. This exam includes a 15-minute discussion about different programming languages and a 15-minute presentation on any topic, to assess your teaching style.
- What programming languages are you familiar with?
- Could you describe your experience using these languages in past projects?
- Which programming language do you find most effective for teaching?
