"LOVE TO TEACH, Hate the Grading?

The Princeton Review is the nation’s fastest-growing test preparation organization. We prepare students for the MCAT, GMAT, GRE, LSAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and USMLE.

We are looking for a small group of highly motivated, dynamic instructors to teach our MCAT programs in Tempe. Teaching for The Princeton Review is a fun and rewarding endeavor; you can take pride in knowing you will make a difference in your students’ scores and future educational options. Most people enjoy and appreciate our refreshing approach to standardized tests. But The Princeton Review is not for everyone-we have a very particular energetic and engaging style of teaching. Our courses are relatively short and greatly effective- we are happy to pay this competitive wage to attract qualified applicants.

We don’t require prior teaching experience. However, because there is a limited amount of time that we can spend in our initial teacher training, there are certain skills that you should bring with you.

You should:

• be an expert in your field (master's level or higher preferred)
• be a super standardized test-taker (experience with the MCAT is helpful but not necessary)
• be comfortable in front of a group.
• be able to control a small group.
• be able to clearly communicate your ideas.
• be able to involve everyone in the group.
• be enthusiastic, dynamic and empathetic.
• be a team player.

• Contact Jennifer Raven, Executive Director via email: jennr@review.com.
• While we are constantly looking for good teaching candidates, we have immediate positions available.
• Complete a Princeton Review content exam (we will provide this) in your subject(s) of expertise.
• We'll ask qualified candidates to come in for an audition. You'll be asked to prepare a 15-minute presentation, on a pre-assigned scientific topic, and to lead a discussion of a practice MCAT question. This allows you to show off your explanatory skills, your command of a group, your dynamic personality, etc.
• From auditions, we select candidates to participate in our training program. Candidates are hired after successful completion of the training program.

• There are two trainings: one in November and one in January. We are looking to fill spaces in each training. Training in November will be November 12-14 in Tempe at our office on Rural & University.  Training in January is TBA.
• Candidates for training are paid a flat training rate of $6.25/hr. Upon successful completion of training, the hourly wage of $20/hr will go into effect.

• We caution prospective teachers to expect several hours a week in prep time the first time they teach. We also offer yearly raises based on performance.
• Again, if you are interested in teaching for The Princeton Review please e-mail Jennifer Raven, Executive Director at jennr@review.com. Please make sure to include your contact information and real test scores (if you have taken the MCAT) in your email.

Training begins very soon!

Best regards,
