Teach-back scheduled with a current MCAT Instructor based on a subject of your choosing. Then familiarization with Kaplan MCAT strategies and certification after being hired. Easy initial interviews and screening.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (Minneapolis, MN) in Mar 2017
Interview
Step 1 was an application that included submitting proof of MCAT score in at least 90th percentile. I was then invited to submit an audition video. This consisted of teaching a topic for 2 mins and then teaching a related practice problem for 2 mins. I step 3 was an interview with a veteran teacher that consisted of teaching him/her a couple practice problems and answering questions about how to handle certain scenarios in class. Step 4 was an interview with a local manager which mostly involved learning more about what it would actually look like to work for Kaplan.

Question 1
How to solve this problem? How to handle this situation?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Kaplan in Oct 2021
Interview
Standard application process to particular location. Appreciated interview with current instructor. However, was given an offer for that particular location to then be told that it was already filled before I even applied or interviewed. HR was unapologetic despite the massive waste of my time (simulation interview requires preparation), and offered me a position at a college that was 30+ miles away (even though I informed them I don’t have a car). They left my offer letter to the original location open and accessible, to this day, which I could have signed for them to be contractually obligated to hire me.. Also, I emailed my interviewer with a thank you and follow-up question and they just never responded. Extremely low pay for the income that you generate for them. Generally unimpressed with Kaplan prep materials (way too much focus on content) but now just unimpressed with the company as a whole.
Asked me to present two sample test questions to an experience teacher. First interviewed with a current instructor and then with the HR. Pretty long interviews I would say, but since they provided questions ahead of time for you to prepare, it wasn't too bad.
