If you're looking into how to take your Boston Praxis preparation up a notch, Varsity Tutors offers two powerful services to help you out. First, we can enroll you in a comprehensive Boston Praxis prep course that covers all of the academic subjects and test-taking strategies you'll want to cover before sitting for the test. Alternatively, we can find you a passionate Boston Praxis tutor in as little as 24 hours to help you prepare for the exam at your own pace. Both services are very valuable, and some students use each to feel as prepared as possible heading into their exam.
The Praxis exams are a series of standardized tests that some jurisdictions utilize as part of the teacher certification process. They measure the subject-specific content knowledge and academic skills required to act as a competent teacher. There are three "Core" Praxis tests covering Reading, Writing, and Mathematics, plus a variety of "Praxis Subject Assessments" that cover pedagogical knowledge of your chosen age group and specific academic subjects such as American History. Each state that uses Praxis exams has its own criteria for "passing," and which exams you may need to take are influenced by the subject and grade level you hope to teach. Keep reading to learn more about how we can help you prepare for any of these exams.
What concepts can I review during Boston Praxis prep?
The material you need to cover is wholly dependent on the specific exam or exams you're studying for. For example, a student studying for the Praxis Core Reading Test should brush up on their reading comprehension skills. If you have a hard time synthesizing information across multiple documents, your instructor can show you active reading techniques such as note-taking to help absorb more of what you read.
You might also go over the formatting of the Praxis exams you're taking. For instance, most Praxis tests are taken on a computer. Your instructor can administer sample questions or even entire practice exams to help you get used to its electronic interface before it counts. Many Praxis tests consist of a blend of multiple-choice and constructed-response items, so you should prepare for both question types. There's also no penalty for guessing on Praxis exams, so your instructor could share time management strategies to help you get to every item.
What are some of the advantages of each of the Boston Praxis prep options you offer?
As noted above, we can enroll you in a Boston Praxis prep class or find you a private instructor to help you work toward your academic goals. If you choose a class, you'll meet with an expert teacher and a group of students studying for the same test you are at a set time each week. Everything happens on our proprietary Live Learning Platform, an online classroom that offers powerful features like video chat capability to provide an in-person classroom experience anywhere with a stable internet connection.
While many students initially scoff at the notion of studying in an online group, the resulting collaborative learning environment can actually make it easier to master key concepts. If you're having a hard time with an algebra problem on the Praxis Core Mathematics exam, a peer's explanation on how to approach it might feel more relatable to you than your instructor's take. You can also explain concepts to your classmates in an effort to improve your own understanding of a challenging topic. Working in a group also gives you better value for your money.
If you would rather receive individualized attention as you work toward your academic goals, we can refer you to a private instructor willing to work online or in-person. Online study sessions take place on our exclusive Live Learning Platform, providing a face-to-face study experience without the hassle of a commute. Alternatively, we can match you with someone in the Boston area who can meet you at the University of Massachusetts - Boston or Tufts University for a distraction-free environment.
No matter where you end up meeting, a private instructor can answer any questions you have in a timely fashion. All of your work can also be reviewed promptly, allowing you to make any necessary corrections while the material remains fresh in your mind. You are also in control over when your study sessions take place, so you can keep living life while studying for the Praxis.
