How do you feel about working overtime to meet your deadlines and other goals?

While your working hours will likely be outlined in your contract, teaching is not your typical 9-5. Lots of extra hours go into planning lessons, setting up your room, assisting students, and fulfilling other responsibilities at the school. Let the interviewer know you are aware of this and without overpromising or overextending yourself, you would welcome the idea of overtime from time to time.

"I feel comfortable working overtime. Especially with some notice, I am happy to work additional hours from time to time in order to meet deadlines and assist students. I've also considered sponsoring an extracurricular club, so I feel ready for the commitment that teaching and the club would require."
