Interested in becoming a tutor for Kaplan Tutoring Services?

KTS takes special care to match each student with the tutor who is best prepared to satisfy his or her educational needs. A decided advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the ability of the tutor to individualize the instruction. All KTS tutors are dedicated to providing knowledge and guidance while helping their students reach their full potential.

KTS tutors share many attributes. They are all experts in their fields, having received Phi Beta Kappa and/or other honors during or upon graduation from college. They are personable and know how to engage students and encourage them to persevere and strive for excellence. Even though they come from all over the U. S., they share many common interests, such as hiking, biking, rock climbing, martial arts, travel adventures, and creative arts (such as woodworking, painting, playing musical instruments, and writing). Several became Eagle Scouts, participated in the Teach for America program, and/or underwent EMT training, and many are actively involved in social justice activities. Their individual backgrounds and areas of expertise are provided below. Please note that all of the tutors have tutored for KTS in the past, but some of them are not currently available; their resumes indicate their inactive status.
