I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan in Jul 2014
Interview
All paperwork and interviews will be done online. The whole process took me about a month before I started training.
Initially, you will be required to submit a recorded video "audition" via Kaplan's hiring website. Next there will be a "technical interview," where you will be given a few prompts to choose from, and you will present one of them to a staff member via Skype. After presenting, the staff member will give you feedback, and you will be expected to try again, this time using their suggestions.
Next you will have an official interview, also via Skype, as most employees work remotely (i.e. not in NYC). This is a more traditional interview, asking more personal questions and details about your background. Only after that can you expect to receive an offer letter.

Question 1
The most difficult question that I had to answer was simply why I was qualified to teach the SAT/ACT even though I'd never taught before.
Auditioned with a faux teaching lesson. Brief traditional interview. Was given a packet full of info on the company and on its teaching philosophy and approach. Overall pleasant experience at Kaplan.
It was generally a few questions related to teaching, and then there were some behavioral ones. Overall the process was relatively straightforward. It was generally a few questions related to teaching, and then there were some behavioral ones. Overall the process was relatively straightforward

What do you feel about tutoring SAT that we need the most?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Very streamlined process.
1. Apply online. I was emailed to confirm that they received my test scores.
2. You submit an audition where you teach a few questions that are supplied beforehand.
3. You move onto a technical interview via Skype where you teach a "student" (Kaplan instructor) any of 4 questions that they supply beforehand. You are provided with feedback after the first question to incorporate into your teaching of the second. They also ask the standard interview questions. This session is recorded and sent to the branch manager for review, as well as feedback from the Kaplan instructor.
At this point, I was cut from the process, but it sounds like you would be called by the manager for a final interview with them.
