Prior to your interview, it is crucial to think through your personal teaching philosophy. Your education has shaped you, and you probably already have some beliefs about the importance of education, how students learn best, and your role as a teacher or tutor. Share these thoughts with the interviewer. Try to portray your passion for the role while centering on the importance of the student experience. Their success, newfound confidence, and satisfaction is the goal.
