<p>I agree, just because a person scores high on a test doesn’t make them good at teaching. I went to a summer program where the teachers sucked because they were hired based on their education rather than their teaching experience/skill. The result was that they could never explain and usually skipped basic concepts because it was deemed too basic for their smart minds to even go over, leaving students confused. </p>
<p>And also, I never go for commercialized test prep. There was a classified jobs ad in the local newspaper where I live that had Princeton Review hiring new SAT instructors. The pay? $18 an hour. At least in my location, these instructors aren’t quality tutors.</p>
