Revolution Prep Teacher Interview Questions
& Process

The interview was in three parts. First, an asynchronous quiz to check your SAT reading, writing, and math skills. Second, a demo where you teach two questions using free software, plus some teaching methodology questions. Third, questions about your past work history, favorite/least favorite jobs, etc. They wasted my time with all three interviews. The pay is also disingenuous; it's advertised as $25/hr but you only get minimum wage when not working with students. I asked for feedback but got a vague answer. Don't bother applying.

After submitting a detailed survey about my background and a short teaching demo video, I had a 30-minute online interview with two directors. We started with some warm-up questions, then they asked about specific positive teaching experiences and my receptiveness to feedback. They explained their expectations and I was asked questions to gauge my alignment with those. I also had to complete a personality assessment and another test that seemed to assess intelligence, math, and word knowledge, though I'm not sure if that was before or after the online interview.

The company was super friendly and helpful. They laid out their high expectations upfront, so no surprises. First, I had an initial phone chat. Then, I was asked to prep a short, interesting presentation on any topic, which I had to give a few weeks later to the manager and other candidates. Around 15 of us presented and got feedback. After that, the manager told us about the company. Lots of us moved on to the next stage: learning their whole curriculum so we could present any part of it. They offered $200 for this training if hired, but nothing if not. This was a bit scary because it was a big commitment with no guarantee. But, it seemed to work because most of us who did it got hired. Many people bailed. We also had to do a full SAT practice test. A few weeks later, we all presented again, being called up a few times to cover different parts. This interview-training thing was actually really helpful because if you made it, you were ready to teach. Oh, and getting an offer didn't mean an instant job; teaching spots were given based on how well you did in the interviews and your practice SAT score.
