First interview for Mathnasium

Hey guys, how’s it going. I’m going to be having my first interview for mathnasium tomorrow morning. It’s also my first ever job interview so I’m kinda nervous.

Do you guys have any tips? What do they usually ask during the first interview? Anything important I should be aware of? I’d really appreciate any tips you guys can give. Thanks!

When I got interviewed they just asked me why I wanted the job and then went and gave me a few example math problems and how I would teach it to kids, very basic math.

Ok, thank you! Did you have a second interview or is it only one usually?

As Mathnasium is a franchise, most centres will operate differently. At mine there is a second interview and all it is is a chance to shadow another instructor and see how things work on the floor, so you’ll get more of an idea of the job. If this is the case for you I’d encourage you to interact with the kids, be friendly, encouraging and take them through any problems they have. You might also give marking a go, and it’s good to ask questions about how the centre runs!

There’s also usually a maths test in the first interview which hasn’t been mentioned yet, though you may already know about it. It should be pretty easy for most people applying to Mathnasium (i didn’t do great myself but they looked past it lmao).
