I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kumon (New York, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
Students applying have to take a test. The instructor will assign a math and reading test to you based on your grade level in school. You come into the center one of the operating days and take the test. Based on your performance, the instructor may call you back or not. It's best if you have someone working at Kumon who recommends you; that's mainly how I got my job aside from the test.

Question 1
Why are you interested in this job? What experience do you have with kids?
Asked me questions about me, what i like, 3 words to describe me and more about my self that they thought was important for them to know. It wasn’t that bad but it also depends on the person intervening you.
Chill, asks background maths and English then do a trial the same day. Quite easy to get especially if you are a recent high school graduate or university student. Trial is simple and questions were simple to answer
