Become a Kaplan Teacher
Am I eligible?
The first requirement is past success on exams such as the SAT, ACT, MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, GRE, DAT, OAT, PCAT, NCLEX, and TOEFL. Beyond that, we're looking for outstanding role models who want to help others achieve, so excellent communications skills and the ability to engage a group's attention are also required.
How does Kaplan select its teachers?
Not everyone who can provide the focused instruction and personal attention of a private tutor can teach a large class; and, conversely, not everyone who can teach a large class makes a good tutor. Kaplan's high standards require that we audition and train all of our promising applicants before assigning them to a class or individual student. Those who make the cut can rest assured that they are following in the footsteps of the many Kaplan teachers and tutors who have delivered Kaplan's unequalled curriculum and methods with the clarity and passion that all of our students have come to expect.
How will Kaplan prepare me for the classroom?
In our Teacher Development Program, you'll enhance your presentation skills, learn the Kaplan curriculum, and master the techniques you'll need to become a test prep expert.

Where can Kaplan teaching take me?
Teaching for Kaplan can be the first step toward many other career opportunities throughout the company. Kaplan teachers have gone on to mentor and train other teachers, create curriculum, and even run Kaplan centers. Many members of top Kaplan management started out in the classroom. In short, you can go as far as your experience, ambitions, and talents lead you.
