THANKS Richard 👍
Here’s the FULL LIST of MATH TEACHER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I have a huge passion for teaching mathematics. It is a subject I feel entirely confident in, and this reflected in my ability to teach in a simple, yet highly effective manner to cater for students of all standards and abilities. Over the years, I have built up extensive experience that has given me a variety of different teaching styles I can quickly draw upon to meet the needs of my students and pupils. I have excellent communication skills; I am flexible and adaptable in my approach to teaching, and I will always deliver positive results for your school based on the defined curriculum. One area I particular thrive in as a math teacher is when I need to explain difficult and challenging mathematical concepts to students and pupils who have historically struggled to grasp what is required. In situations such as these, I am patient, I am reassuring and I use simple, easy to understand methodologies to teach the subject in question. If you hire me as a math teacher at this school, I will be consistent, I will be supportive of other teachers and I will maintain the positive reputation you have clearly spent a lot of time establishing.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for our school/college as a Math teacher?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to work for your school primarily for three reasons. The first reason is, you set high standards and I feel you will support me in my role as a teacher to achieve the objectives of the mathematics curriculum. The second reason is, from the research I have carried out, you create an environment that is conducive to effective teaching and learning. I believe you put the students first; you want them to be successful and, as such, you create a positive environment in which they can learn and develop. Finally, other teachers who I have spoken to that work here have said nothing but positive things about the way the school is run by the headteacher and the governors. I feel this is a place I will want to stay teaching for a long period of time.”

They have been designed to make a significant difference to your maths teaching job interview preparation. So, regardless of the school, college or university you are applying to teach at, implement the following 5 tips to increase your chances of success.
MATH TEACHER INTERVIEW TIP #1
The 23 interview questions featured on this page are the most common questions asked during maths teacher interviews. Whilst we appreciate there is a lot of work involved preparing answers to them, it will be worth the time and effort in doing so. Consider carefully how you intend to answer the questions listed, or alternatively, download the example top-scoring answers PDF guide below as these will dramatically cut down your preparation time.
MATH TEACHER INTERVIEW TIP #2
Think carefully why you want to teach at the school, college or university you are applying to. During the interview, the Head Teacher will ask you to explain why you have chosen their educational establishment to be a math teacher. Consider the standards they set; any historical educational achievements they have gained, and what other teachers have said about how the school is run and managed.
MATH TEACHER INTERVIEW TIP #3
Questions based on how you intend to manage behavioural issues in the classroom are commonplace during math teacher interviews. Think of a previous situation you have been in where you set behavioural standards from the start of the term or semester, and show you have the confidence to be able to maintain control of your class.
MATH TEACHER INTERVIEW TIP #4
Consider what you understand about equality, diversity and inclusiveness in teaching before you attend your interview. The interviewer may ask you to explain how you will embrace equality and diversity as a teacher and how you will ensure the standards they set and expect are maintained.
MATH TEACHER INTERVIEW TIP #5
At the end of your maths teacher interview, you will have the opportunity to ask the Head Teacher a number of questions of your own. Here are three brilliant and smart questions you may decide to ask:
QUESTION – If I am successful, what’s the first thing you would need me to concentrate on as your math teacher?
QUESTION – What are the major challenges the school is facing right now?
QUESTION – What are your future plans for the school in the next few years? Do you plan to maintain the current pupil/student levels, or do you see them expanding?
