Why Good International Teachers Keep Failing U.S. Interviews
(And How to Finally Get Hired)
If you’ve ever left a school interview feeling hopeful…
then heard nothing back…
this is for you.
The real reason you keep getting rejected
You don’t fail interviews because you lack skills.
You struggle because you don’t know how to communicate your experience the U.S. way.
YOU:
- Don’t know how to explain your experience in a U.S. interview
- Freeze during behavioral or classroom management questions
- Know the answer — but don’t know how to say it
Here’s what that really means
- You might be qualified — but if you fumble your answers, schools won’t call you back.
- You might freeze when they ask about classroom management.
- You know the content — but don’t know what the interviewer is actually listening for.
That’s not a teaching problem.
That’s an interview communication problem.
U.S. school interviews are not about perfect English.
They are about how clearly you explain your thinking, your classroom decisions, and your professionalism.
And no one teaches that — especially for international teachers.

I work closely with U.S. schools and international teachers through Teach-USA.
Every year, I see strong, qualified teachers lose opportunities — not because they aren’t good, but because they don’t know how to explain their value in U.S. interviews
