I applied online. I interviewed at Explore Learning in Mar 2022
Interview
I had to do a video interview, which I didn’t mind, however it was a prerecorded one. I had to answer their questions within 60 seconds with only 30 seconds to prepare my answer. Due to having autism and anxiety I really struggled with this. Interviews are difficult for me anyway but this was the worst one I’ve ever had to complete. Felt like a very dehumanising process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would I deal with a pupil who was struggling? How would I help them with *insert difficult maths question here*?
I interviewed at Explore Learning (Walsall, England)
Interview
Pre-recorded interview stage then an interview with someone at Explore - usually a hiring manager. Simple behavioural questions about your job motivations and skills. My advice - flaunt your communication and social skills. Don’t worry too much about hard skills as long as you have decent maths and English grades from secondary, a-level or at degree level.

Interview
An online interview with mock questions is easy and requires you to pretend to teach a child who is struggling with a question. From what I remember from the person interview they wanted to know you and why you wanted to work at Explore
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Explore Learning in Nov 2025
Interview
Friendly interviewer, laid out the format of the interview at the start. The role I had applied for had already been filled but discussed which centres were nearby and found a role I could take. Questions took roughly 15 mins, then asked about logistics (my availability, any planned time off etc). Let me know I would hear from them in the next three working days.

Question 1
Why do I want to work in education? What would be your greatest challenge coming into the role? What does safeguarding mean to you? If a student was having a difficult session and having trouble focusing, how would you feed this back to the parent whilst the child is there?
