Individuals who have excelled in a particular subject can use their expertise to tutor others looking for some extra help. Interviews typically consist of subject-specific questions that will assess your academic proficiency. You should also expect to answer some behavioral and situational questions, such as how you would motivate a disinterested or discouraged student. Skills that are sought after include interpersonal, problem-solving, and goal-setting abilities.
The question that allotted the longest answer time was one where you had to read over different scenarios with students struggling on very specific problems, choose one to respond to, and go into detail about how you would help the student. I chose a scenario where a middle school girl was struggling with solving an absolute value equation.
