First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Young Scholars Institute.
Tutor
The interview was pretty fast. First, the instructor asked me some questions about my academic background. They require at least a 4-year degree or proof of completion soon, especially for the subjects you'll be teaching. Then, I had 5 minutes to give a sample lesson to show my teaching experience. I was hired right after, and the whole thing took about 30 minutes.
- Can you teach multiple subjects?
College Counselor
They really screen the applicants well. The first part is a face-to-face interview with the Director of Counseling. Then you will be given an College Admissions Quiz and an Interview Essay Assessment to see your writing skills.
- What motivated you to apply for this role?
College Counselor
The interviewers were very friendly and arranged for me to speak with two directors. Their goal was to find the best fit for me. They were polite and enthusiastic. They also gave me plenty of chances to showcase my abilities.
- Could you describe your teaching strengths?
SAT Instructor
The interview was short and direct, lasting under 30 minutes in total. I was asked some basic questions about my motivation for the role, followed by a quick scenario-based question.
- What makes you want this position?
- How would you handle a situation where you ask students a question on Zoom during a lesson, and nobody responds?
