For those recent graduates who want to become teachers, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a Buffalo Praxis class that fits your schedule. Now that you have finished your education, you must pass the required examinations before stepping into the classroom. Even if your classes at schools such as the SUNY Buffalo State College prepared you, practicing in an online course can give you extra confidence before you take the exam. Nervous about what you should expect on the test? Want to go over materials again before your first attempt? An online Buffalo Praxis class can offer the added assistance that you need.
What can I learn in a Buffalo Praxis prep course?
Both the Praxis Core and Praxis Subject Assessment examinations require practice and preparation. A Buffalo Praxis course offers support to help you study for both tests. Praxis Core, which is designed to measure your content knowledge and skills, covers general subjects like math, reading, and writing. When preparing for Praxis Core, your instructor may go over geometry, text analysis, and close-reading strategies. You may find this is a review of what you learned at SUNY University at Buffalo, but the expert instructors that teach online courses can strengthen your abilities.
Following the Praxis Core preparation, your instructor may discuss what to expect on the Praxis Subject Assessments. This portion of the Praxis exam varies based on your preferred subject, so your instructor may adapt the course based on the needs of the group. This means that you may have the opportunity to practice for the exam with other learners in your position and subject. Your instructor may review concepts from language arts, mathematics, or social studies to help the class prepare. Successful completion of the Praxis exam will create opportunities for you as a new educator, but you cannot do well on the exam without diligent practice. An online course can support you in this endeavor. Let Varsity Tutors enroll you in a Buffalo Praxis course today!
How do I learn in a Buffalo Praxis class?
Online classes allow you to learn in a convenient, accessible, and flexible fashion. As long as you have an internet connection, you can access your Buffalo Praxis class from any location. Study at your local library, in a booth at your favorite coffee shop, or from your bedroom!
The Live Learning Platform, where online courses are held, is equipped with several tools that make your online course feel like a traditional classroom. This means you get the best of both worlds - learning in a familiar way but on your own schedule. For example, video chat tools ensure that you can view your instructor as they teach. Ask questions and get answers on the spot, in the same way that you would in an in-person class. Even though your instructor is in a different location, you can engage and connect. The virtual whiteboard feature also makes it easy to take notes and stay organized. Watch as your instructor visually maps out problems or lists important terms. This helps you keep your notes organized, which makes studying later that much easier!
In addition to learning from an expert instructor, our Live Learning Platform encourages collaboration between students. Talk about class concepts and review materials on the discussion boards. Pick up new ideas as you learn from your classmates, and strengthen your knowledge by answering their questions in return. Reviewing materials with other students can increase your retention the knowledge you encounter during Praxis exam preparation.
You can also schedule an individual meeting with your instructor should you find that you need extra assistance. For example, you may have questions about how much algebra to expect on the subject examination. Your instructor is always willing to answer your questions. Instructors in online courses are experts on their subjects and excited to help you.
How do I enroll?
If you are interested in enrolling in a Buffalo Praxis course, Varsity Tutors can help you. New sections of courses start at the beginning of the month, so you never wait long to begin learning! Even if you have a busy schedule, night, weekend, and weekday times are offered for your convenience. Courses are offered in two- or four-week increments, as well, allowing you to choose the time and pace that fits best into your life.
While the Praxis exam may seem daunting, an online course can help you to make the most of your study time. Gain additional skills and practice by learning from an expert instructor and other students in your position. Contact Varsity Tutors today to enroll in a Buffalo Praxis course!
