1. Give a brief rundown of your experience in teaching/tutoring including subjects taught and years at each position. 2. What qualifies you to tutor this subject? What academic prep, did you have, what classes did you teach, etc. 3. Have you tutored students to prepare them for standardized tests? What standardized tests have you taken them yourself? What were your scores and can you verify them? 4. What age or grade level do you think your personality is most suited to? What age or grade are you most qualified to to teach? How would you modify content for teaching to various grade levels? 5. Lesson example: Choose a topic/question from a list to explain how you guide a student to solidify their understanding? How would you check for background knowledge? How would you clarify confusing points? How would you check for mastery? What outside resources would you use? (Most questions gave you 30 seconds to prepare; I believe this one allowed 10 minutes to prepare.) The question I chose asked what I would do if a student brought me a 5-paragraph, 2-page essay the day before it was due and asked me to edit it for them. Be specific about what you would look for and in what order you would present the info. What would the student be doing? What would you be doing?
