I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sylvan Learning Centers (Austin, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
A two step process which involved testing for which subject you are qualified to tutor and then a mock tutoring session with their hiring manager. The job is meant for someone who is not daunted difficult conversations and feels in control of their academic expertise. There is also room to be a mentor and life motivator in this position, so they are searching for those qualities in a candidate. Appear professional, be personable, and be prepared to stay for a while.
I interviewed at Sylvan Learning Centers (Ocala, FL)
Interview
it was two virtual interviews about my background and how I would handle certain situations such as if a student struggles with reading how would you approach an assignment to make sure they are engaged with the question and also practices on their reading.
It was a virtual interview and I was given a Zoom link prior. The interview was professional and quick. The interview started immediately and lasted about 25 minutes. In addition, there was room for questions at the end.
It’s a list of questions that pertain to your educational experiences and professional experiences. It’s important to mention how you will ensure the kids are meeting their learning goals. It’s also good to think about how you will deal with time management, as kids learn at different paces and there are different needs.
