I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Kaplan (New York, NY) in Jan 2007
Interview
Although the hiring process required some skills tests and a presentation, it was was very laid back. I had to submit SAT test scores to the office. Also, before the interview I was asked to prepare a short 5-10 minute lesson. I had to conduct the short lesson in front of the hiring manager, she asked me a few questions about my teaching experience and that was about it. Overall it seems like they just want to see if you can handle the patience and responsibility necessary to teach high school students.

Question 1
I do not recall any tough or abstract questions. The hiring manager just wanted to get a feel for my skills and aspirations. Expect questions like, Why do you want to work in the field of education?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (Boulder, CO)
Interview
The first requirement was to record a video introducing and explaining a sample test question. This was followed by an online interview where you are asked to teach some sample questions, and given some feedback. You are then asked to incorporate this feedback in your presentation. Following this technical interview, there is a final interview with the hiring manager which is more of a regular job interview.

Q: What do you think you did best and worst in your presentation?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (New York, NY) in June 2016
Interview
I first completed a series of questions where I had to answer a variety of questions via an online platform that recorded my answers. I was asked questions about certain teaching scenarios. Next, I had an assessment where I was to "teach" three questions to a member of the Kaplan staff. During that interview, I was asked more specific teaching scenario questions. Then I was interviewed by the Faculty Manager, who gave me the run-down of the job and what would be expected.

Question 1
How would you deal with a difficult student who does not want to learn?
Interview process was somewhat long -- first you have to record yourself teaching different SAT problems, then I had a skype interview with one person, and later I had a skype interview with another person. Overall it takes awhile to get set up as a tutor (about 1-2 months) but it is a great and rewarding job once you begin!
