Varsity Tutors provides services to help you connect with a private Chicago Praxis tutor or online prep class if you know that you will need to take this test as a step in gaining your teaching certification. Regardless of your content area, having a more formal review before this exam can help you feel more prepared. The Praxis exam covers concepts that you studied during your teaching program at the University of Illinois at Chicago, DePaul University, or another local program. Whether you need to review fundamentals for the Core portion of the test, or you need a more guided review of your subject area, a Chicago Praxis prep class or private tutor can benefit you in a variety of ways.
What is covered during Chicago Praxis prep?
The Praxis is one way of measuring the academic skills and subject area content knowledge of future educators. This exam is split into two parts: The Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core) and Praxis Subject Assessments. Everyone who needs to take the Praxis as part of their education licensure must take the Core first and then a test in the subject area that they will teach. The Core covers questions based on the fundamentals of reading, writing, and mathematics, while the content on the Subject Assessments varies depending on your subject area. This portion also evaluates your understanding of teaching pedagogy.
In addition to knowing the content of this exam, it is important to know the format. The Core is a computer-administered exam with three separate tests on reading, writing, and mathematics. Instead of having incorrect answers count against you, this portion of the exam scores you based on the number of questions you answer correctly. The Subject Assessments take anywhere from one to four hours depending on the subject area and is composed of selected-response, essay questions, and short constructed-response questions.
What are the benefits of Chicago Praxis prep?
Varsity Tutors consultants can help you connect with online tutoring and classes depending on your preference and individual needs. While most people find that one option works best for them, you can use both options if you find that additional resources would benefit your exam preparation. Nevertheless, each option provides the opportunity to work with a qualified instructor who can help you. Let us talk now about the benefits of each type of Chicago Praxis prep.
Enrolling in an online prep course gives you a more collaborative and comprehensive environment to prepare for your Praxis exam. Our Live Learning Platform means that you can communicate with your peers and instructor in real time, just like in any other course environment. This platform uses a live chat feature, interactive whiteboard, and other features that help you participate in the course from your computer. In addition, a collaborative environment means that you can learn from the ideas and strategies that your peers use in the course. This may help you try new strategies related to problem solving to see if they might also work for you. Lastly, you can schedule individual help with your instructor should you require additional help.
If you prefer a one-on-one approach, we can help you find an online instructor to work exclusively with you. A private instructor can use your personal learning styles and strengths in order to develop lessons that move at your own pace. This means that you will also be able to get feedback about your performance and understanding of practice questions and topics as you progress. Additionally, you get to work with your instructor to determine what areas you should focus your attention on when studying. They can help you learn and practice test-taking strategies such as identifying keywords within the question in order to be able to more easily identify incorrect answers right away, leading to the correct answer by a process of elimination.
How can I connect with Chicago Praxis preparation?
By signing up with an instructor for virtual private tutoring or a Chicago Praxis prep course, you can receive personalized guidance from someone who knows both the content and format of this exam. Both options allow most people to continue living life without having to change their daily routine because you can access this online resource at a time and place convenient for you. If you have been considering whether outside help would benefit your Praxis review, contact us for more information about how to set up assistance today. The consultants at Varsity Tutors are waiting to answer your questions and provide you with additional information about Chicago Praxis prep.

Prahith: Chicago PRAXIS test prep instructor
I am a classroom teacher who has spent the last ten years tutoring/educating students with a variety of learning needs. 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.
