I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kumon (Subang Jaya) in Feb 2016
Interview
I was asked to sit for a Mathematics and English test before I was called to enter the principal's room for the interview session. I did not do so well in Mathematics but he/she advised me to multi-task instead of focusing on assisting the students in just one subject. Having an experience in teaching or working with children would be a great advantage. We also discussed on how long I was planning to work there. He/She was pretty lenient and assured me that making a mistake in the beginning would be expected since I wasn't used to their work culture yet.
They do an online interview over Zoom once, where they ask you general interview prep questions and other questions about your resume. They then invite you for an in-person interview and make you take a small math test alongside it. The whole process takes months. They sent me an email saying they liked me. Then 3 months later, when I had already gave up hope, they emailed me asking if I was still open to working there since they were still deciding. Never got another email since.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kumon (Milton Keynes, England)
Interview
the process was easy/okay there wasnt any hard questions and they were mostly personality questions and about my reasons for wanting to join the team and how well i work with other people
Quite a short and informal interview process - I was asked about my background experience, why I wanted to work there and then I was hired on the spot afterwards
