Let's say you have the required LSAT score: how hard is it to land a LSAT Tutor Job with Kaplan, Powerscore, etc. ??

And number two, are these positions steady work and decent pay??

Thanks in advance!

low-cut top?

What's the req'd lsat cutoff?

depends which company. Within Kaplan, it varies from center to center - could be 90th percentile (164) or the 95th percentile. I think PR requires higher.

Did you take the job? Kaplan offered me a job, but I turned them down

Princeton Review's cutoff is 98th percentile.

It's just, they charge so much money for their prep-classes, it's such a ripoff. And they do not pay their instructors anything near what I think they should be, considering the amount of money they make.

So I informally hold a weekly LSAT class on my campus for anyone who is interested (for free, obviously).

TestMasters. However, "too much" would also apply. If I were female, I'd literally go to interviews naked.

PS: Let me make it clear that I would do this simply because I know that most jerk-ass office managers will only hire women when they are attracted to them. It's sad.

TestMasters requires a score of 170+, and they have a weeklong, intense training program.

I don't understand how some TM teachers do this full time. The pay is nice, but at 8 hours a week? I could only see doing it as a student.

It's true. I like teaching though. I enjoy it. And I didn't get hired to be an intro to neuro TA so I wanted to get my teaching fix in some other way. That's really nice that you do that for free. How many people go?

Last year it was anywhere from like 6 - 16 kids at any given meeting - usually around 10 or so. You'd be surprised at the number of students who have no idea how important the LSAT actually is..

Which testprep companies tend to hire student, and where would one apply?

If you want to teach for Princeton Review.

This is usually where I start looking for new teachers.

Also, usually the direct email address to the operation manager's hiring email is: hire(insert city you want to work in)@review.com

Like if you wanted to teach in topeka, you could try hiretopeka@review.com. Sometimes that's not the correct address though and most small and midsize markets don't have their own email address. Like my office is in charge of hiring for 6 other small-mid sized cities.

you can also call 1-800-2review and just get people to forward you to the relevant phone number. (this is actually what I did way back in the day)
