Is Kaplan tutoring right for me?
Those with great standardized test scores, and the particular blend of patience and empathy that allows them to focus on one student, work at the student's own pace, and motivate that student, possess the foundation for becoming great Kaplan private tutors.
How does Kaplan select its tutors?
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 does tutoring differ from teaching?
While Kaplan classroom teachers work from a nationally developed curriculum and lesson plan, Kaplan tutors shape curriculum materials and structure to the needs and desires of the individual student. The Kaplan Tutor Development Program focuses on how to get the most out of the individual student and how to enlist the family in the student's success.
Where can Kaplan tutoring take me?
All of the opportunities that are available to successful classroom teachers—teacher training, curriculum design, and management potential—can be yours as a successful Kaplan tutor.
