If your interview includes a 15-minute demo, I coach teachers to center it on one learner outcome and a quick check for understanding, not a parade of activities. What moves have helped you get offers lately — especially when the panel expects you to handle a mixed A2–B1 group on Zoom?
In my experience, using a relatable story or context in the demo can make the lesson stick — for instance, connecting grammar points to everyday experiences can engage mixed levels more effectively. Have you tried this approach?
I totally get the focus on a singular learner outcome. One thing that’s worked for me is incorporating a simple, interactive poll using Zoom’s features to gauge understanding right after a key point. It’s quick and engages even lower-level students without overwhelming them with too many activities.
And i love the idea of a relatable story! Maybe try using a quick role-play to bring that mixed group together — it’s like bridging a gap with a fun hopscotch game. Have you thought about how to keep it engaging for both levels?
