Complete evaluation framework
What to assess and how to score it
Review the evidence signals before interviewing. Then use the anchored descriptions—not instinct alone—to choose the score that best matches each answer.
01
Evaluation factor
Subject and technical command
30% weight
Check fluency across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot: prompt patterns, custom GPTs, retrieval over personal files, API basics, and honest framing of hallucination limits.
Evidence to listen for
Knows the material or discipline well beyond the level they teach
Holds the qualifications, licences, or certifications required, and they are current
Can answer an unexpected question honestly rather than bluffing
Keeps learning in their own field
Five-point scoring guide
1
Poor
Knowledge barely ahead of the learners; bluffs when asked something unexpected.
2
Needs Improvement
Adequate on the syllabus only; gaps show under questioning.
3
Satisfactory
Solid command of the material for the level taught.
4
Very Good
Depth well beyond the taught level; comfortable being asked anything.
5
Excellent
Names specific models and versions, shows working custom GPTs or automations built, and explains where each tool fails rather than overselling.
02
Evaluation factor
How they actually teach
30% weight
Probe their session format for a non-technical learner: diagnostic intake, live screen-share practice, worked prompts on the client's own documents, homework between sessions.
Evidence to listen for
Describes how they teach a specific thing, not their philosophy of teaching
Adapts when the first explanation does not land
Checks understanding rather than assuming it
Differentiates for varying ability within one group
Five-point scoring guide
1
Poor
Only philosophy, no method; one explanation and no plan B.
2
Needs Improvement
Delivers content but cannot adapt when learners are lost.
3
Satisfactory
Sound instruction; differentiation is limited.
4
Very Good
Multiple routes to the same concept, with real checks for understanding.
5
Excellent
Describes a repeatable session structure, starts from the learner's real tasks, and adapts pace when someone freezes at the keyboard.
03
Evaluation factor
Group management and safeguarding
25% weight
Assess how they handle client confidentiality: what data goes into a prompt, enterprise versus consumer accounts, chat history settings, and coaching minors or vulnerable adults.
Evidence to listen for
Has a concrete approach to a disruptive individual and a whole group losing focus
Knows the safeguarding or duty-of-care obligations for this age group and setting
Escalates a concern through the right channel
Sets boundaries without becoming punitive
Five-point scoring guide
1
Poor
No behaviour strategy; unaware of safeguarding obligations.
2
Needs Improvement
Struggles with disruption; vague on duty of care.
3
Satisfactory
Manages a normal group; less confident with serious disruption.
4
Very Good
Confident group management with clear safeguarding awareness.
5
Excellent
Sets clear data rules before any live demo, spots regulated or personal data in a client's file, and holds the line politely.
04
Evaluation factor
Progress and communication
15% weight
Look for how they evidence progress: baseline task timings, before and after prompt quality, tools adopted after 30 days, renewal or referral rates.
Evidence to listen for
Measures whether learners actually improved, not just attended
Gives feedback that changes what someone does next
Communicates with parents, clients, or managers about difficult progress honestly
Records progress usefully
Five-point scoring guide
1
Poor
No sense of whether anyone improved.
2
Needs Improvement
Tracks attendance rather than progress; avoids hard conversations.
3
Satisfactory
Monitors progress; feedback is general.
4
Very Good
Measures progress concretely and handles difficult conversations well.
5
Excellent
Tracks concrete learner metrics such as hours saved per week, and reports them to the client with examples from their own workflow.
