I talked to HR and it felt good, they were reassuring. Then they told me I'd do a recorded-video interview. The instructions said I'd have 5 tries per question, but when I started, I only got one try per question. No prep info was given either. This was my first time applying, so I was unprepared. It feels weird to not talk to a human for a job that needs a lot of interaction with people, unless they want me to teach via video.

Presentation Behavioral
We started with a video interview, and then I was invited back for two demo lessons. Each demo lesson was followed by a short interview. Every stage depended on passing the previous one. It took about two months from when I applied to when I had my first interview. Everyone at the school was really nice and seemed excited about their school during the demo lessons. The lessons were on a set topic, but I had a lot of freedom to teach it however I wanted.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Thinking about the lesson you just taught, what adjustments might you make?
- What strategies do you employ to guarantee every student achieves success?
