Entrevista
The interview process was unconventional, but then again, this is not a job for everybody. You go in for a brief presentation about the company, and then you take a spelling test. The words are a mix of real words (they start with easy words like "brief" and then gradually increase in difficulty, with words like "pusillanimous") and a few nonsense words (i.e. words that don't exist but can be spelled phonetically, like "instructorious"). Next, you take a 30-minute logic exam, which is mainly reading a few passages and arguments to draw conclusions and reason. This process seems crazy at first, and it's difficult (of all the people who went for the screening with me, I was the only one who passed), but it's done for a reason. You will be helping the students with spelling and reading, and the tests are trying to measure your competency in those areas.
After the test, there is a short interview with the center manager, where they ask some straightforward questions ("Why do you want this position?" "What are 3 strengths/weaknesses?") and then some odd ones ("What would you do if you saw dead flowers on the table?" "What would you do if you saw a strange man in the lobby?"). Just use common sense!

Entrevista
We were given a brief introduction to the program through a video followed by a spelling test recited from the video presenter. Following the video, we took the Glasser/Watson critical thinking test in thirty minutes. While the tests were being graded one of the interviewers explained the program further using the chalkboard. It would have been more helpful to have seen a tutoring session in process to evaluate the methodology of the program for such a high cost to the parents. Interviews began once the scoring of the tests was complete. My interview was very easy and positive. I was told I passed the tests and they wanted to have someone with experience/maturity on the team there. We were told we would hear in a day from them. After several days, I called the center to follow up, which lead to an email thirty minutes later telling me I hadn't gotten the position.
It would have been helpful if they hadn't been misleading in the interview and I really question the agenda of this center due to not seeing a session in progress.
Very easy interview which was misleading where the interviewer appeared to almost hire you but there was no follow up. I am a teacher with 16 years experience and a masters in special education so it appeared like they might not want people with experience in the field.

There was no formal interview. However we were asked to complete a spelling test & a logic and reasoning test. The spelling test had about 20 words and 5 nonsense words. The test was administered through a video recording by an administrator. This was followed by the logic and reasoning test. The spelling test was OK but the logic test was very detailed with little time. The director did not explain the results.

They give you a presentation about the way they do things and then you take a spelling and logic test. They then have you roleplay as a clinician and some other poor interviewee as a child. They monitor your interaction. I have a child and I am great with children but overall the roleplaying scenario as a way to determine your ability to interact with children, when you are interacting with some awkward Theatre Major instead of a kid, is pretty ridiculous.
They then have one on one interviews and ask you what you would do if a stranger walked in and if their were dead flowers on the counter, what would you do? They then told me they would contact me in a couple days. I didn't hear anything for a month, even after contacting them numerous times. They then sent me an email asking me to come to another clinician screening. They then acted like I was some type of freak for showing up so I could determine what had happened to my application. Unprofessional would describe their overall response, communication or lack thereof.
