Successful Interviewing

PLEASE NOTE:  this class is in very high demand in the fall when students begin to work on school admission applications.  If you expect to apply to a new school for the 2025-26 school year, the appropriate time to begin interview practice  is fall 2024.  I am already booking students for this time frame.  I enroll students by request only.   If you see any "availability"  listed on line, it is likely to be incorrect. Please contact me to discuss up to date availability.  I work very hard to fit new students into my schedule. I recommend that we find an agreeable day/time and book it through the fall for adequate prep time. 


In this private class I will help your child become comfortable in an interview. I will discuss appropriate body language, voice intonation, focus, and the need to answer questions concisely.  We will practice these skills and a variety of common interview questions.   Students usually sign up for this class repeatedly over the course of many weeks and  we  work to improve their skills in each class. Eventually, I spend about 20 minutes in a mock interview which hopefully will  closely mimic the actual interview experience. This class can be tailored depending on whether the interview is for an independent  school, religious school or a part time job.  I am also able to assist students who are applying for schools outside of the US, or foreign students who hope to attend school in the US. I have assisted many children in this process and I understand the stress that they often face.  In my class we will systematically address common concerns, then focus on preparing the child for a successful interview. 

Interviews are a critical component of obtaining new jobs, volunteer opportunities and admittance  to schools. With a few specific suggestions, practice and feedback, your child can project more confidence and be more likely to succeed.  Successful interviewing skills are an asset throughout life.  I firmly believe that interview skills will be critical for school admission, but that they also form a building block for lifelong success.
