How do I prepare to for a Spanish teacher interview?
- Go through a list of possible questions and prepare your answers
- Print your copies resume, cover letter, and letters of reference
- Bring a notepad to record important information from the interview
- Prepare questions you might want to ask the interviewer
- Be aware of red flags to watch out for that signal the employer is not a good fit for you
- Consider the possibility of a demo lesson and what you might teach
What I would recommend doing is sitting down with this list of questions and going through them in your mind to tell you can come up with a short response to each one so that way you’re prepared. You could definitely write out your answers as well, but I think just thinking through them so you have an idea is plenty. You don’t want to feel rehearsed in your responses, but you don’t want to be sitting there clueless, either!
Obviously this isn’t an all-encompassing list sometimes and everything else can throw you a curveball, but it can give you an idea or a feel for the things that you should be prepared to discuss in interview.
