Instructor Hiring

The best teachers want to work for TestMasters because of our reputation for academic excellence. The strength of our curriculum has made us the choice for students and instructors who refuse to compromise on quality. We receive hundreds of instructor applications each year, and less than 10% of all candidates are hired.

Instructor Jason AsterQualifications

All instructor applicants must have scored in at least the 98th percentile on an officially administered LSAT (171 or higher on the current scale). There are no exceptions to this prerequisite. In addition, TestMasters instructors must have a dynamic presence, a passion for teaching, and the ability to explain things clearly and precisely. It takes an extraordinary person to do this job.

Compensation

Instructor Kendal NystedtWe offer instructors better compensation than any of our competitors. In large markets (Boston, New York City, Long Island, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Gainesville, Miami, the District of Columbia, College Park, Arlington, Fairfax, Chicago, Evanston, and the state of California), the starting pay rate for instructors is $40 per hour; in all other markets, the starting pay rate is $30 per hour. Instructors who travel to teach outside their local areas can earn an even higher hourly rate.

All TestMasters instructors earn $50 per hour for in-person tutoring, regardless of where they are located. Instructors may also have the opportunity to teach our intensive 16-hour weekend course, tutor students online or over the phone, conduct LSAT seminars for prospective students, and work in our research and development department. In addition, we compensate our instructors for the time they spend preparing for class.

Instructor Abbey Augus A few small companies advertise higher rates of pay but fail to offer any significant work. A high hourly pay rate is meaningless if there are no hours available. In contrast, TestMasters’ large student base ensures that our instructors have plenty of work. The annual payroll for our LSAT faculty far exceeds that of any other company.

How to Apply

To apply for an instructor position, please send your résumé and a copy of your LSAT score report to jobs@testmasters.net. Following the interview and audition process, select applicants are invited to our instructor training program in Los Angeles. Successful completion of the week-long training program is a requirement to work for TestMasters.
