The 1-way video interview is called the “Spark One Way Hire” and it is a recorded interview that the US and China team reviews. There are 6 questions on this stage that range from talking about yourself to specific examples of how you might deal with students.

The recording can be redone as many times as you like and when you are happy with it, you can send it in. This is a great opportunity to show off your amazing teaching skills!

Here are some more ideas for success:

set the stage by creating a great teaching background
dress professionally and look the part!
make sure that your computer and headset are in good working order
have an “attention getter” ready, like a puppet or engaging prop
use TPR (total physical response) to model and support the student
use a reward system and props!
