I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (Boston, MA) in Jun 2012
Interview
I really liked how they made the interview very interactive. They were more concerned about my ability to teach and do the work than my previous experience. They asked me questions about class room management, how you encourage and measure growth in students, and how to work well leading sessions.

Question 1
How would you explain a difficult question to a student?
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

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.
