Kaplan

The training program for a SBA at Kaplan is very flexible! Training involves watching and engaging with online Kaplan modules, to familiarize yourself with Kaplan's offerings and understand how to prepare yourself for SBA responsibilities. In addition, there are frequent check-ins with your manag...

Truthfully I can not think of one thing I disliked about being an SBA. The SBA is an excellent program because you have the autonomy to customize your role. Have a busy school week with tests? You can work "lightly" on your SBA responsibilities and ramp up your SBA events the following week. In a...

First, we go through paid training, which involves communications with an assigned "mentor" and your manager as well as training modules and working on presentations.

The good includes the freedom to cater a lesson plan to what you deem is best for your students and the freedom to choose when and where you work. The bad is mostly the independence you get.
