I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kumon (Chessington, England) in Sep 2021
Interview
1) Had to send in CV (no cover letter) to the admin at Chessington 2) A 15-minute interview with two examiners on Zoom meeting. 3) Waited a week for the results (to receive a rejection letter) -- This could be earlier for successful candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) A detailed example on a topic of year 9/10 (pre-GCSE) questions 2) Why did you pick Kumon? (are you a good fit for Kumon) 3) What are some core values of a tutor?
The overall interview is mainly involved about math knowledge based questions that tested basic concepts, problem solving skills, and understanding of fundamental principles rather than complex calculations or advanced topics.
It was online on Google Meets. They made me introduce myself, my education and my previous experiences with teaching. Then they gave me a few math questions to answer. They also asked me to mock-tutor some math questions.
