STEP 3: VIDEO INTERVIEW
Ace the video interview.

  • Speak clearly and confidently. Make sure you're easy to understand.
  • Watching a few funny kitten videos beforehand isn’t a bad idea – a happy mood goes a long way! 🐱

Allow Hireflix (the Video Interview platform) to use your camera and microphone.

Make sure to use the right Camera and Microphone as input.
You can test both before getting started!
Be prepared! Have a few bullet points at hand. A few ideas you might want to think about:
  • Your background & relationship with tutoring / teaching
  • How’d you organize a first class with a student?
  • How would you teach a concept from your chosen subject in 1 min?
Be genuine though ! Skip the scripts and just be yourself.
