Only the best
Fewer than 1 out of 10 candidates qualify to teach for us, and every one of our teachers scored above the 90th percentile on the ACT. That makes Kaplan more selective than many top universities.
And every Kaplan tutor is rated on how caring they are with students. It’s how we ensure our students aren’t just getting an information download – they’re making a connection.
