Instructor Interview Questions

When hiring an Instructor, look for someone who has significant experience in their field/industry. You’ll also want to ensure you select a candidate that is an excellent communicator that enjoys mentoring others. Ask questions that help you get a sense of the candidate’s motivation for applying for this role, as well as their communication skills and personal attributes.

Here are some fantastic questions we suggest for hiring an Instructor:

  • Why are you interested in this position?
  • Why do you think you’d be a great instructor?
  • Do you have any experience mentoring or coaching others? Please elaborate.
  • Tell me about a time someone taught you something important. Why were they so effective? What did you learn from this experience, in terms of communicating information well?
  • Who has had the most positive influence on your career and why?
  • Our student body is culturally and age diverse. How would you be sensitive to this in your teaching methods?
  • [Hand the candidate a program-related topic, with details written on a piece of paper.] Give them a minute to consider the information, then ask them to explain it to you.
  • How will you try to recognize and accommodate the various learning styles of students?
  • You suspect a student has plagiarized their work. How do you address this situation?
