Test Prep Gurus interview questions

The first step in the interview process was the usual, a 30 minute zoom call. They asked about my experience with teaching and specifically with test prep. I was then invited to an "evaluation" which was 2 session, 2 hours long, and I was given several pages of "homework" to complete before the evaluation. I completed their "homework" and showed up to the evaluation, and was told afterwards the first person I interviewed with would be in contact to schedule my next evaluation. I was already scheduled for a second one, and did not hear anything from anyone at the company, so the day before I was scheduled I reached out, and they told me they were still deciding who they were continuing the (very long) interview process with, and they would get back to me. Well, weeks later, I have heard nothing. Since the interview process is so long (over a month) and with several hours of "homework" weekly, I asked if they would be hiring everyone who did well in their evaluations, or if they were interviewing more people than they had positions. This was answered in a very roundabout way, and I don't doubt this is why they ghosted me. They also admitted that if the student's no-show or cancel, you are not paid, even if you are at work. And if a student is late, you will not be paid for the time you spent waiting, your pay will be docked depending on how late the student was. Could be a great gig if you don't need money, and just want some extra money on the side, but if you are looking for a job where the company values its employees, this is not the place for you.

There's a multi-stage interview process. The first step is talking with the Director of Talent. Next, there's an interview with the Director of Instruction that requires some completion of some typical test prep materials beforehand. The materials and process the company uses are discussed in the interview. The interview is called a training/evaluation, as you're being trained in the TPG methods, but still being evaluated for your fit within the company. If that goes well, there's another training/eval with the same person to finish up the training and further evaluate you. After that, you meet with the CEO of the company to train in the philosophy of the company and learn how to effectively connect and communicate with students. If all steps go well, you will be offered a position with the company.
