Behavioral Presentation
I got a call the day before the interview. I arrived an hour early. The interviewers were punctual. They took my portfolio and led me to a well-lit, comfortable room. After introductions, they asked me to introduce myself. I was asked the standard 'Tell me about yourself' question.

Technical Behavioral
It was a pretty standard interview process, nothing too complicated. The questions were tough though. They did a background check on me. The interviewer was nice and the environment was good. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I've definitely said enough words.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview had a few parts. First, I had to write a short essay about a tricky topic, like the boundaries of intimacy between teachers and students. Then, I gave a 5-minute presentation showing how I'd teach a lesson. During the presentation, the interviewers pretended to be difficult students trying to throw me off, like asking 'teacher why do we need to listen to you when our exams are next week?'. Finally, we had a more standard interview where they asked some usual questions and discussed my essay answers.
