<p>I have a summer job from 12-5:30 but was thinking about trying to work at my local Kaplan's. Does anyone have any advice about how to start the process to try and work there?</p>
<p>I currently teach for Kaplan, MCAT prep (as well as some random DAT, OAT, and ACT classes on occasion).</p>
<p>In order to teach for Kaplan, you must have scored above the 90th %ile (and they prefer above the 95th). After that you must audition for the spot, giving a 5 minute "how to" presentation on a topic of your choice. This is to ensure that the people who are "smart" enough to teach actually have the skills needed to teach. That's probably the hardest part.</p>

there is an "apply now" button at the top of the article, as well as a lot of good information.</p>
<p>Kaplan pays really well, and it's an extremely flexible job, which is great to have, but also means that in many college towns, there is very little turnover. There are plenty of people, who in spite their success on these exams, choose to just teach Kaplan full time (this is common in the really big cities). So you may run into that road block.</p>
<p>Other than that, there are usually a lot of spots available for regular office staff, just doing regular service sort of stuff - getting videos, enrolling people in classes, answering phones, etc. The position is called a KSA for Kaplan Service Associate or something like that. I'm guessing that this is not what you had in mind, but I could be wrong.</p>
