The interview felt overwhelming—rapid-fire questions, an intense panel, and unexpected topics. My mind raced, palms sweated, and words stumbled, but I pushed through, hoping my effort outshined my nerves.nevertheless I succeeded.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NYC Teaching Fellows (Brooklyn, NY)
Interview
1. Apply online
2. Phone interview
3. Selection day
4. Email of acceptance or denial
The whole process took time but they fellows were knowledgeable both during the phone interview and selection day. Selection day you taught a lesson and we’re able to reteach a part of it after learning a new teacher quality from what the fellows taught.

Question 1
What makes you want to be part of nyc teaching fellows?
They had us do a two minute lesson, and then practice how to get kids to pay attention and do their work--though the tone of it was more like how to get them to "sit down and shut up." The communication between the organization and the interviewers was bad, as I was three times told I would be taking a math assessment on the same day (I didn't), but was never told about the impending GRE requirement nor was someone who already had a teaching certification informed they were wasting their Saturday.
