lostintime Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 How early should we apply if we want to teach MCAT in the summer? And they said 90th percentile..so if you got 12, that means you have a chance? And what do they usually look for...high grades? (yikes) Teaching experience? Is it very very competitive?

Jochi1543 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 12s should be fine. I don't think they look at grades. You have to prepare a topic to teach for the audition, though, so they can evaluate your teaching skills. I think Kaplan's application asks specifically if you've had any tutoring experience.

Averance Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 does anyone know the pay? Is it better than TA'ing? And is it liek TA'ing hours (like you get paid to prepare, office hours, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it liek TA'ing hours (like you get paid to prepare, office hours, etc.) I think it's like 15-20 for in-class hours and something like 8-10 an hour (set # of hours) for the prep.

Siv Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 would they consider your best mcat or more recent or average? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 would they consider your best mcat or more recent or average? I dunno...I would just call them and tell them what your scores are and whether they think it's worth applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgmed23 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 From what I remember, I think if you had over 11 in a particular section, you are qualified to teach that section pending your teaching "audition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I ended up not applying because I felt like my 12 in PS was a total fluke. I definitely don't feel qualified to teach physics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostintime Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 How well do you have to know your topic? I took orgo a loooong time ago and I barely remember anything. Are the students really demanding? My class was okay when I took Kaplan...people asked questions and stuff, but there weren't any real 'keeners'. I think part of the reason was because we were the night class who worked during the day and went to MCAT class during the night...so most of us were so wiped out we were kinda zoning out. I heard a lot of horror stories about how teachers got fired because the class was so demanding and complained because they couldn't answer questions. Well it is kinda hard to know EVERYTHING about MCAT bio topics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
register Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm also interested in getting some teaching experience in the summer. Does anyone know where to apply to? The princeton review site seems to be down. I live in Toronto, is there someone I should email? Another quick question for anyone who has taught before, what were the hours like? I know it's a part-time job, but does that mean in the evenings and weekends? Is it possible to hold a full-time job from Mon-Fri during working hours and still teach for prep courses? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
