I applied online. I interviewed at Qkids in Aug 2017
Interview
Initial 30min demo with a trainer in an online classroom. They show you all the software and how to use. You demo back. Very low stress. Second meeting is an hour demo in which you teach a minute or so per slide and receive feedback and tips. They are very helpful and friendly. Again--no stress. The last part is teaching actual 30 min classes to 1-6 students at first grade level. You do anywhere between 2-5 classes before they make a decision and you receive feedback after all the classes to help improve. These are all paid btw except the first 30 min demo. Its really no stress and fairly easy. Classes are all predone. You just enter and play the games to reinforce and spark conversation.
In the interview, it was just getting to know me, my desire to work there, and included questions about my teaching, for example, “how would you best engage a younger child? how would you teach a child differently than a 13-year-old?” Then, you had about 3-5 demo classes where you’d teach kids and they’d provide feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you engage a young child differently than an adolescent?
Interviewed in 2018 so the process could be different. But from personal experience, first you submit a video of yourself reading a children's book for your application. Then you have to download the app WeChat and the Qkids Teacher App. The stages for the hiring process are two demo interviews and trial classes (trial classes are paid).

Question 1
Interviewer pretended to be a student and interviewee had to teach a mock lesson in the online classroom that they provide.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qkids (Greensboro, NC) in May 2021
Interview
Step 1) Send a brief video of introduction and teaching style.
Step 2) Demo 1 was about 20 min long with a very polite lady who made sure that I knew how to navigate the
teaching tools on the platform. She also evaluated my understanding of the teaching objectives on each slide. She would pretend to be a young student and we would run through the main points of the lesson, while using the teaching functions.
Step 3) Demo 2, which involved more teaching techniques and a Q&A session. The teaching coach gave me scenarios that would occur in an online classroom setting and tested my classroom management skills,and teaching style.
She gave me tips and guided me through some unfamiliar platform functions and coached me on time management. This all took about 30 minutes total.
