I emailed the centre I wanted to work at directly with my CV and covering letter and the following morning, I got a phone call from one of the managers who asked me a few questions (how I heard about Explore, what previous experience I'd had etc.) and she invited me to an interview. The following week, I went to my interview which was very long (about three hours). They were really friendly and I was being interviewed with one other person (who also got the job). The first half hour consisted of competency based questions around what you liked about Explore Learning, ability to work with children and sales experience. There was then a role play where she pretended to be a child stuck on a question and I had to help her. Then, I had to come up with a fun activity for the children in surf club (the play area), and I had to do a very short and easy grammar and maths test. Once this was over, I had the chance to ask questions I had and then they watched how I interacted with the children in a zone.

Handed in a CV, was recommended by someone else so got a response for an interview within 24 hours. Went in for an interview, very relaxed, the staff are very friendly. Asked why I was interested in tutoring and was asked to do some role play - pretend the interviewer is a child and then teach them how to add and subtract fractions.
