You may be interviewed by one or more of our London team (see left).

All short-listed applicants for Canada, China, Latin America and Switzerland will be interviewed. A cross-section of applicants for Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Spain will also be interviewed.

We do not normally hold interviews for Belgium.

When you are called for an interview you must pay travel costs yourself.  Where possible, we will try to give you an interview slot in the middle of the day if you are travelling a long distance. Make sure you arrive at least ten minutes before your scheduled interview time. Your interview will normally last around 30 minutes.

You are likely to be invited for interview at one of our offices in London, Edinburgh or Belfast or at your university. We will hold interviews for China at our Manchester office in late March (subject to availability).

We recommend that you research your first choice country and be prepared to answer questions on the following:

			Why you want to be an English language assistant
			What aspects of UK culture you think your students may be interested in
			What ideas you have for lessons and how you plan to use them
			What materials you plan to take
			How other work experience you have may relate to being an assistant
			How you plan to build a social life outside school

If you are applying to a French-, German- or Spanish-speaking country or Italy, there will be a few informal questions in the foreign language.

You should find our LanguageAssistant site useful when doing research for your interview.

You may also find it useful to see what previous assistants say.
