First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Mathnasium.
Math Tutor
You'll take a test on K-12 math topics like arithmetic, algebra, linear equations, and geometry. If you score 80% or higher, you'll watch some orientation videos. These videos will show you how Mathnasium wants tutors to teach students counting and calculation methods.
- What makes you want to work for us?
- Do you like working with math?
- Are you currently a student in college or a graduate?
Instructor
It's a pretty simple process. You start with an online proficiency test. If you pass that, you'll have an interview with the center director where they'll ask about your teaching philosophy and any experience you have with kids. Then, you'll do a mock teaching session to show how you'd teach a basic concept.
- Which company core values resonate most with you and how do you apply them?
- Can you share a personal weakness?
Math Tutor
We gave them a Calculus Test, and an Advanced High School Math Test. They also gave us some Teaching Scenarios where we had to teach something back to them. It wasn't too difficult; they were mostly interested in our teaching style and overall vibe. You should be ready to talk a lot because they ask a lot of questions.
- Could you explain this concept to me?
- What is the slope of a line?
Center Director
The process started with an initial 20-minute phone call with the owner. This was followed by a second 20-minute phone call, also with the owner. Then there was a 4-hour in-person interview and assessment, which included meeting the owner and completing a math assessment. After that, a 3-hour in-person "student-teach" session occurred, where I met the COO and taught a class. The process concluded with another phone call with the owner.
- Did I understand how to run a business?
