I applied online. I interviewed at Kumon (London, England)
Interview
Stage 1 was a Maths and English test plus presentation with business plan. This was followed by an interview and discussion with business owners. Once this stage was completed training commenced and worksheets had to be completed to the manager's satisfaction in your own time. This was very time consuming but useful especially on the higher level of mathematics/English. Training sessions were also held where it was expected you contributed. At any stage until the final signing of the contract any party could have opted out. Quiet worrying for prospective Instructors as a lot of time and work had gone in to this application. Having said that all necessary as Kumon have a reputation to uphold so Instructors need to be both capable and committed to hard work. I did not find the process easy but it was rewarding once completed and a franchise offer accepted.
Super simple - Questions about whether you went to kumon as a kid and familiar with their teaching styles. With this being said, they also asked about committment and if you can stay working there for a year.
