I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Huntington Learning Centers (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2017
Interview
In-person one-on-one interview process, where they asked about my credentials, certifications, and other things that I may have from my previous tutoring job. I answered that I used to work with the America Reads Tutoring program.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you looking to get back into part-time tutoring after working full-time?
Basic questions about my past tutoring experience and why I want the job. Mention past experience and typical behavioral interview questions. Asked for availability, interview was only one round for me
I interviewed at Huntington Learning Centers (Short Pump, VA)
Interview
The interview process was minimal. I only spoke with the owner, who came across as somewhat off-putting. Despite holding a graduate degree in mathematics, I was told I wouldn’t be moving forward because I “didn’t score high enough” on an ACT-style placement test. This was especially odd, considering I wasn’t given adequate time to prepare, and ACT-style math is a very narrow and specific subset of mathematics that doesn’t reflect broader expertise. The decision was only communicated via text, and only after I followed up a few days later. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional and disorganized. I would not recommend working here.

Interview
Five minute conversation via zoom. I clearly had more experience than the person interviewing me. Two days later the interviewer no longer worked with the company. The hours I could work changed from whenever I was available to what they wanted. Felt like a bait and switch.
