Welcoming, not too inquisitive, asked basic questions about myself and any previous work experience I had. Did not feel extremely pressured, but was in person not virtual. Also had to do a maths test to check mathematical ability.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kumon (Edison, NJ) in Jun 2019
Interview
First, you take a math assessment of general algebraic equations. After the assessment has been graded, you speak to the boss about how you did. If you pass the initial assessment, you are asked about availability.
Very casual and easy interview. It was mostly chatting with the manager about logistics and what I was comfortable tutoring. They are mostly checking to make sure you have a personality that is suitable for the position.
