To make a good impression during the interview, please ensure a clutter free home office, bright lighting, professional dress and central positioning of your image in the camera.

• The interview is going to be about 25 minutes long.

• For the first 10-15 minutes of it, you'll be expected to give a demo lesson based on the slides' content, but with a degree of freedom in how you teach it.

• For real lessons further on, you'll have to print out and hold up materials from a curriculum provided to you, or use Skype's screen share function, but for the demo lesson there is no need to.The interviewer will have the slides open on their side.

• Assume that your student is 6-10 years old and that you are giving a one-on-one lesson. This is how it will be in practice as well.
