Tutor
The interview process was quick and efficient, just as expected. You should prepare for general fit questions and make sure you are knowledgeable about the course content you intend to tutor. Given the large number of applicants, this interview is more of a one-sided questioning session than a conversation, so be ready for rapid-fire questions.

Tutor
The interview was a group session with about 10-15 people. It was pretty casual, and most of us knew the staff leading it already. They asked basic questions about what the role involves, like how you'd handle students or problems that might come up. We got an email later to let us know if we got the job or not.
- What would be your approach with a disruptive student?
- How would you handle a student who is having trouble participating?
Tutor
