Sample interview questions
How would you assess a new student's readiness for AMC 8 or AMC 10 preparation?

I would begin with a short diagnostic covering core topics and a few competition-style questions. I would review not only accuracy but also the student's solution process, then create a focused plan addressing conceptual gaps, pacing, and problem-selection strategy.

How do you explain a difficult competition-math concept to a student who is frustrated?

I break the idea into smaller steps, connect it to concepts the student already understands, and use a simpler example before returning to the original problem. I ask guiding questions rather than immediately providing the answer so the student can regain confidence through discovery.

What strategies would you teach for AMC time management?

I would teach students to classify questions by difficulty, solve high-confidence problems first, and mark time-consuming questions for review. We would practice timed sets, discuss when to use estimation or answer choices, and analyze missed questions to improve decision-making.

How would you keep an online one-on-one lesson interactive?

I would use a digital whiteboard, ask frequent check-for-understanding questions, and have the student narrate their reasoning while solving. I would alternate direct instruction with guided practice and finish with a brief recap and targeted independent practice.

How do you provide feedback after a student misses a competition problem?

I focus feedback on the reasoning process rather than simply identifying an incorrect answer. I explain the underlying misconception, model an efficient approach, and assign a small set of related problems so the student can immediately apply the correction.
