You generally need an 11 in any section you wish to teach (but if the people in the office like you or think you'll be a good teacher you can get away with a 10). If you don't have 11 or above in any section, you can teach for Kaplan with a 10.
If you want to teach, they'll bring you in for an audition where you teach a subject of your choice for 5 minutes. I personally chose pimping, something I was familiar with. If you pass audition, you go into training for 1 weekend where you get paid minimum wage. At the end of training you have to give a lesson to your trainer & if you do well, you will be certified.
I would definitely suggest teaching for TPR while in medical school. Almost all of the teachers I know are in med school right now. The money's good & it's really only the 1st time you teach a given subject that it requires a significant amount of your time. After that, I've already made myself notes, so I glance at them for 5 minutes before class starts & then I'm ready to go. Hope this helps...
