It was okay. At first, they asked questions about ourselves, then proceeded on asking how we would lead a tutor session. We took turns answering as it was a group interview with two people.
Very direct and concise, asked questions that pertained to the position in question and did not try to trick you. I really liked the interviewer, she was very polite. They were timely in their responses, and prompt to the meeting.
