I applied online. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (New York, NY) in Jan 2014
Interview
Audition in front of other applicants with a fake lesson. Come up with the lesson yourself and show that you can present and engage a class. Typically everyone did how-to style lessons. The class of fellow teacher applicants played along and made it generally pleasant.

Question 1
You make the questions - you're the teacher in the mock lesson
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (Irvine, CA)
Interview
The interview begins with a 7-8 minute 'lecture' given by the applicant of a topic of their choice. I think they're looking for reasonably extroverted teachers who include the class and are comfortable with teaching a group of high school students. In my interview experience the employee who conducted my interview was rather rude and made it seem as though I was wasting her time. I also felt she was treating me like a child or one of her students rather than a potential coworker. Additionally, they had us take an ACT test, (which was a surprise to me, and hurt my final chances of getting the job as I've never taken and am completely unfamiliar with the ACT, in particular the science portion). Throughout the process I was overall feeling quite put-off by the company and, what I perceived to be a lack of professionalism and class.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Princeton Review (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
Had to do an audition for five mins in which I taught the subject of my choice. Then I had to take a mock SAT. Then we had to memorize the entire textbook in chunks over the course of teo weekends and reurgitate it in front of judges who criticized us if we werent following the script. Verrry tough and nerve wracking experience
