Kaplan reviews

-Training takes many many hours and is paid at minimum wage. After working for over a year, I still think I probably spent more hours doing training than I did actively teaching. -Profit margin is ridiculous. Students paid approximately 4x my hourly wage for each hour of tutoring. Yes - they receive some other materials and services outside of my labor, but not enough to justify that price! I had parents offer to double my hourly wage and pay me independently from Kaplan - which would have actually saved them money. Unfortunately, this is clear violation of the non-compete agreement you have to sign when employed so you can't take advantage. -The insane prices for families are immoral, in my opinion. In the wake of the college admissions scandal, I found myself asking myself if I was part of the problem. -Depending on your geography and availability, it may be difficult to get hours. If you offer online teaching and have an open schedule, it is doable.

limited hours takes a while to become full-time
