Varsity Tutors offers Ann Arbor Praxis prep courses. Are you an education student studying at Michigan State University or the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor? Chances are, you may need to take the Praxis exam sometime in the future. Many states use the Praxis Core and subject-specific Praxis tests as an assessment of whether or not you are prepared enough to earn your teaching license or certification.
There are many tests that fall under the Praxis test format. All of these are taken by aspiring teachers. There is the Praxis Core exam which covers Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. There are also several other Praxis exams that cover different subject areas and grade levels such as the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) tests which are offered at four different grade levels (Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9 and 7-12). An Ann Arbor Praxis class can help you prepare and study for whichever Praxis exams you are scheduled to take.
What can an Ann Arbor Praxis course cover?
All of our test prep courses are taught by expert instructors who are familiar with the material found on the Praxis exams and know helpful study and test-taking strategies. In class, you may go through a mixture of material and tips. You and your classmates will have access to our online learning program. The class and the instructor will interact through and webcam and microphone set up. This allows for questions directed to the instructor and also allows students to talk through practice problems that may be similar to the problems on the test. Students will also have access to an interactive whiteboard. Through this tool, students can show their work to the instructor and the other students. Students may be able to help their classmates through the material as well. Studies show that when students understand a subject, they may gain a deeper understanding when they assist their peers with the material. Another application of the whiteboard would be to practice structuring essays for the writing portion of the Praxis Core or build equations for the mathematics portion.
What are the benefits of taking the Ann Arbor Praxis class?
One of the biggest benefits of taking a prep class for an upcoming exam is that both the material and test-taking strategies will be fresh in your mind on the day of the test. Some students prepare for a big test by cramming and pulling all-nighters for the days leading up to their exams. By enrolling in an Ann Arbor Praxis course, you can alleviate some of the stress that comes with the test-cram mentality. You'll be able to work through the material, become familiar with the types of questions found on the test, and work with your peers and a professional instructor to correctly study. Praxis students have the option to take the course over either two weeks or four weeks.
On top of daily work on preparing for the test, students also spend sessions working in a virtual classroom from wherever they learn the best. All that's needed is an internet connection and headphones or speaker, microphone, and webcam. You may like to work in the great outdoors and choose to attend class in the Furstenberg Nature Area with a wifi hotspot. Or perhaps you like having people quietly surrounding you and choose the Ann Arbor District Downtown Library.
How can I get signed up for an Ann Arbor Praxis course?
Getting signed up for an online prep class is easy! We offer a rolling admissions structure that has new classes starting every month. There are classes offered at different times throughout the day. Between the two different course lengths and the multiple times to choose from, we want to make sure our busy students can pick what will help them learn the best for taking the Praxis exam. If you have additional questions for the expert instructor pertaining to preparing for the test, please feel free to send them an online meeting request. The instructors want to see you do well and feel prepared. If this type of Ann Arbor Praxis class sounds like something you'd like to sign up for or learn more about, please give Varsity Tutors a call today. Calling in will get you connected to one of our professional educational consultants. They can answer any questions you may have about the course and get you placed into a class that works the best for you and your family's schedule. We look forward to hearing from you!

Communication also needs depth, which is why instructors should participate in the course discussion in meaningful ways. Course discussion is...

I specialize in figuring out what specific learning strategies work for different students. I can help you go from good to great as I have consistently scored in the 99th percentile for several graduate school tests. ... It is more important that students learn how to solve problems rather than just memorizing facts or formulas. All students are smart in their own way and, teaching should be catered to how students best understand. Ultimately students should understand why what they are learning is important.
