Stanley H. Kaplan - Test Pilot, February 22, 2002
Reviewer: Lewis B. Frumkes (New york, N.Y. United States)
The only thing wrong with this passionate memoir by test-pioneer Stanley H. Kaplan, is the title. It sounds like it's a book about an air-force test pilot. In fact the feisty and fascinating teacher, and author of the eponymous memoir is an academic Horatio Alger, someone who developed his obsessive need to help others learn into a billion-dollar empire with global reach. Is there anyone who has not heard of Kaplan Centers, Kaplan S.A.T? Stanley H Kaplan was just a bit brighter than everyone else in Brooklyn seventy years ago when he began tutoring students in his basement. In his eighties today, and feisty as ever, he will stop on a dime to answer the questions of any kid on the street who is having difficulty with an algebra problem. If you want to be entertained, inspired, amused, and impressed by a master teacher and raconteur, a genuine original who tells your the real skinny about how he beat the odds and conquered the world, "Stanley H. Kaplan - Test Pilot" is the book for you.
