I applied in-person. I interviewed at Kumon (Mississauga, ON)
Interview
In Canada, we need 40 hours of community service to graduate high school. In grade 10, I asked the class instructor if I can help out around the classroom, and she hired me after I completed my 40 hours of free service.
I was not tested or interviewed because I had been a Kumon student for a couple of years. From the other interviews I saw, the applicant was given a couple of math tests to take to prove that they can quickly solve math problems. (Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division & fractions). Additionally, they had to read some English passages and answer basic questions according to the passage.

I applied online. I interviewed at Kumon (Adelaida) in Sep 2014
Interview
There was a group information session and during the same appointment we had Math and English Assessments, one week after the group session there was a phone interview to follow up. The math assessment was not too hard, junior high level, english assessment was mostly grammar questions.

Question 1
Can you tell us about your experience working with children
Was hired because I had been a student there for a few years. Interview process was very short and it was essentially to make sure I wanted the job. The couple running the business didn't always adhere to corporate standards, which I think actually worked better since adjusting how the business ran for local customers seemed to be beneficial.
