Tutor at Huntington Learning Centers
Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 11, 2013
Interview Details – I was called in for an interview with one person in the small building. I was then called back to take an exam--my choice of SAT or ACT. I chose SAT. A few days later, I was called (by the same initial interviewee) with exam results, and asked when I could start. They are supposed to give you a set number of training hours, but they basically throw you in. During training, you're paid minimum wage. Thereafter, you may get $12 for the "learning center" (anyone not there for exam prep, 4 students per tutor), $14 for exam prep students (one student per tutor), and minimum wage for any "admin time." Even when I was promised a flat rate of $15, I never received it. I was there longer than everyone else--except one or two people--and never got any 'actual' raise. Students pay $50-60/hour to be there. Really, you're better off going through Wyzant or a similar tutoring site.
Interview Question – There weren't any unexpected questions, just the typical, "Tell me about your experience at Blah-blah Company," etc. Answer Question

Interview Details –
Sent in interview
A few days later, called me in for questions, etc. Asked a variety of questions like what did I like about teaching, why I wanted to teach there, etc. I was hired immediately and had to review lot of books and then shadowed other employees on the tutoring floor.
Interview Question – YOU WILL have to pass and do VERY well on ACT/SAT if you would like to do that instead. For most of us, that was years ago and I couldn't get the top 5-10%....I guess I should have studied more. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – NOne, it was a standard hourly fee. Take it or leave it.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Exton, PA May 2012 – Reviewed Jul 25, 2012
Interview Details – I submitted my resume online and received a call about a week later. The interview was a one on one interview with the manager, but not owner, of the center. At the interview, the only questions were if I was a certified teacher in PA and when I could start. It took about five minutes and was very straight forward.
Interview Question – The only question was if I was a certified teacher in PA. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. If you have the choice, request to be on file as an SAT tutor, as they start $1 higher than subject or Learning Center tutors.

Tutor at Huntington Learning Centers
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Melbourne, FL Aug 2010 – Reviewed Aug 22, 2010
Interview Details – Initial interview was on the phone. The in person interview was not too intimidating- just some questions on tutoring experience, my "teaching philosophy" and most challenging and most rewarding tutoring experiences. The interviewer was pretty nice. They ask for a background check/drug test to be completed before tutoring begins, but they will reimburse it after 3 months of working. They also ask that you be "eligible to be certified" for teaching.
Interview Question – What is your teaching philosophy? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Pay offered was too low.
