The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2009
Interview
I had to take a test with math and verbal SAT-type questions. It wasn't very long - maybe 20 questions. I think the regular interview came after but it might have been before. It was friendly but not casual - the people at TPR are fun but they actually take the company and their jobs seriously.
The most important part was the "audition," in which I had to teach something. I used the whiteboard and a handout. Using the whiteboard is important because you use it a lot as an SAT teacher.
If you pass those parts, you get invited to training. Training is kind of intense. It takes three or four weekends (but you get paid for it). You basically learn the SAT course from beginning to end. You also teach lessons in front of the other trainees. Not everyone makes it through training, though it wasn't clear whether people left of their own accord or were told not to come back.
Please note that I'm marking "difficult" for the interview only because the training process was much longer than that for a typical job. The interview/audition was not hard at all.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (Irvine, CA)
Interview
The interview begins with a 7-8 minute 'lecture' given by the applicant of a topic of their choice. I think they're looking for reasonably extroverted teachers who include the class and are comfortable with teaching a group of high school students. In my interview experience the employee who conducted my interview was rather rude and made it seem as though I was wasting her time. I also felt she was treating me like a child or one of her students rather than a potential coworker. Additionally, they had us take an ACT test, (which was a surprise to me, and hurt my final chances of getting the job as I've never taken and am completely unfamiliar with the ACT, in particular the science portion). Throughout the process I was overall feeling quite put-off by the company and, what I perceived to be a lack of professionalism and class.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
Had to do an audition for five mins in which I taught the subject of my choice. Then I had to take a mock SAT. Then we had to memorize the entire textbook in chunks over the course of teo weekends and reurgitate it in front of judges who criticized us if we werent following the script. Verrry tough and nerve wracking experience
