The interviewer would like to know which subjects excite you! Whether you love teaching math, or have a penchant for the arts, show the interviewer that you have a true passion for your craft. There is no right or wrong answer here but be sure to avoid speaking poorly of a certain subject, especially if you may be asked to teach that curriculum down the road.

I enjoy teaching business and accounting because I have expertise in that area as I used work as an accountant for a corporation for over ten years. However, I like working with students in any subject area because I am passionate about teaching and mentoring young people. Also, I believe in life-long learning so that any subject would be an interest to me.

I enjoy teaching Biology the most. I love life science topics like ecology, evolution, biotechnology, and healthcare because these are all topics about us as living beings.

Great! You clearly identify your preference for teaching Biology and life sciences, and do well to avoid speaking negatively of other subjects, which will be beneficial if you are asked to teach that curriculum in the future.
