Behavioral Presentation

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.
