I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (New York, NY) in Aug 2014
Interview
It's a multi-step process. First you send in an application, then you record yourself teaching a couple sample problems. If you get past that stage you have a technical interview in which you prepare 4 questions (there might be overlap with the questions you already taught), and then role play with the interviewer to see how interactive your teaching is and how you respond to difficult students/wrong answers/etc. After each question "session," they asked me what I did well and what I could improve on. In that interview they'll also ask you some more general interview questions, hypothetical situations, that sort of thing. If you get past that stage you will be interviewed by someone who oversees your district. This is a pretty standard interview (why do you want to work for Kaplan, what makes a good teacher, your strengths and weaknesses, etc.)

Question 1
What would you do if you had a lesson scheduled for Saturday, and on Friday a parent calls you, furious that you didn't show up for the lesson she thinks was supposed to be that day?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (Boulder, CO)
Interview
The first requirement was to record a video introducing and explaining a sample test question. This was followed by an online interview where you are asked to teach some sample questions, and given some feedback. You are then asked to incorporate this feedback in your presentation. Following this technical interview, there is a final interview with the hiring manager which is more of a regular job interview.

Question 1
Q: What do you think you did best and worst in your presentation?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (New York, NY) in Jun 2016
Interview
I first completed a series of questions where I had to answer a variety of questions via an online platform that recorded my answers. I was asked questions about certain teaching scenarios. Next, I had an assessment where I was to "teach" three questions to a member of the Kaplan staff. During that interview, I was asked more specific teaching scenario questions. Then I was interviewed by the Faculty Manager, who gave me the run-down of the job and what would be expected.

Question 1
How would you deal with a difficult student who does not want to learn?
Interview process was somewhat long -- first you have to record yourself teaching different SAT problems, then I had a skype interview with one person, and later I had a skype interview with another person. Overall it takes awhile to get set up as a tutor (about 1-2 months) but it is a great and rewarding job once you begin!
