Thank you for your interest in joining The Princeton Review's elite teaching team. Below you'll find some information about The Princeton Review, our teaching approach and structure, and our open positions.
Qualifications
Purposefully, we do not concern ourselves with degrees or past experience. We look for only two qualifications from prospective teachers, no matter what their educational background. First, our teachers must be able to handle the types of questions on the tests they teach. Secondly, we look for fun, enthusiastic people who demonstrate the ability to teach and motivate students.
Training
Because the quality of the course depends so much on the quality of our teachers, we train our teachers very thoroughly. This ensures new teachers are very comfortable with our materials before their first class. Training is a rigorous process and trainees must be certified by a master trainer in order to teach for The Princeton Review. Typically, about 20% of trainees are not certified. Although this may seem demanding, after the first term the material comes easily and new teachers find that the strict standards force them to be prepared enough to enter the classroom and face their toughest critics: their students.

History
It's actually an easy question to answer at The Princeton Review. We are a company dedicated to the simple mission of being great teachers. We were founded by women and men who were passionate about teaching and our offices are run today by individuals who love to watch, and help, students learn.
As we have expanded, first with our merger with Penn Foster and more recently in our joint venture with the National Labor College, we have stayed true to our mission to help people achieve their aspirations through education.
While we were founded in 1981, these last 10 years have seen the greatest set of changes in the way people want to learn since the invention of the chalkboard. The advent of podcasts, online courses, webcasts, web-based tutoring and even live chat learning has blazed a marvelously bright path through the educational forests, and we're frankly, tickled pink. Learning new and exciting ways to teach students in these new modalities is like offering apple sauce to an infant - we gobble all of it up, smile beatifically and beg for more.
After all, what is better for a company of teachers than to be given new tools and ways to help people learn?
Welcome to The Princeton Review. We think you'll enjoy your stay with us.
Our Approach
We recognize that the SAT is not the test of aptitude that many people think it is. The SAT does not test real knowledge learned in high school, so many of our techniques concentrate not on rote memorization, but on problem solving and test-taking skills. Certainly we do teach basic skills for the math and verbal sections, but beyond that, we teach the students how to apply these skills to the questions themselves.
One of the strengths of the course is the personalized attention we give each student. Class size is limited to 15-20 students. More importantly, we group classes by ability. This is an advantage to both the student and teacher; by allowing each class to proceed at an appropriate pace we can concentrate on each student's specific weaknesses.
One final thing that separates us from our competitors is our teachers. We make sure our staff is bright and enthusiastic, ensuring that the students are motivated to work hard, thus improving their scores.
SAT Course Structure
The course consists of tests and classes. The tests are used to track the students' progress and pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses. Classes are sessions where students learn the course material and techniques. Class sessions are 3 hours in length.
The sessions generally occur at night during the week (6pm or 6:30pm start) or on weekends during the day (either in the morning or afternoon). Each teacher is assigned to a particular site for the entire term. The teaching commitment for a term entails teaching the classes for the duration of the course (6 or 10 class models - generally spread out over a 4-6-week period).
GRAD Course Structure
The structures for LSAT, GMAT, GRE, and MCAT courses vary slightly but follow the same general model. Graduate level course generally begin at 6:30pm on weekdays, or on weekends during the day (either in the morning or afternoon). GRE/GMAT courses have 7 sessions (3 hrs each). MCAT courses have 42 sessions (2.5 hrs each), broken down into subjects (10 Biology, 9 Physics, 9 Verbal, 8 General Chemistry, and 6 Organic Chemistry). Our Hyperlearning LSAT course consists of 24 class sessions (3.5 hrs each). We also offer an Accelerated LSAT course model with 8 class sessions.
Because our courses rarely occur anytime other than during nights and weekends, teaching for The Princeton Review is a part-time job. While we can provide a fun and rewarding part-time job that fits around most full-time jobs, we can not provide enough hours to make it a full-time position.
