If you're working to become a licensed teacher, Varsity Tutors can help you on your journey by enrolling you in a Las Vegas Praxis course designed to help you boost your teaching skills and prepare for the Praxis tests. The Praxis tests are often used as a means to evaluate prospective teachers, looking at their general knowledge, subject-specific knowledge, and their pedagogical skills. For this reason, some states require aspiring teachers to pass the Praxis tests as part of the licensing process.
If you're taking the Praxis tests as part of your licensing process, it's important that you're well prepared for the assessments. There's a lot of information covered in these tests, and if you're not someone who excels at self-study, it can feel overwhelming to prioritize and review the test material. Even top education majors at schools like the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and nearby Nevada State College have struggled with the Praxis tests, which is why many have enrolled in additional prep courses. If you're unhappy with your current study regimen, you can too by signing up for a Las Vegas Praxis course offered by Varsity Tutors.
What are some topics a Las Vegas Praxis class can cover?
The goal of Praxis classes is simple: they're designed to help people gain the working knowledge needed to pass the actual tests. As such, the material covered in the classes will be closely aligned with the content you'll encounter as you take the tests. Some of the topics you can expect to cover as you follow guided lessons include critical reading, analytical writing, and basic math skills, as well as teacher-specific concepts like pedagogical approaches and classroom management.
There are two categories to the Praxis tests: the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators and the Subject Assessments. By enrolling in a Las Vegas Praxis class, you'll be given the opportunity to cover the material in both of these categories. Studying for the Core tests involves practicing reading, writing, and math skills, and looking at how you can draw upon your knowledge of these subjects to teach more effectively. The Subject Assessments tests aren't as generalized. They look at how well you understand the specific subjects you're teaching and whether you're able to teach your different groups effectively.
What are the advantages of enrolling in a Las Vegas Praxis course?
Now that we've touched on the content you'll encounter in the course, let's look at how this course can help you get ahead. One of the biggest advantages you'll get out of registering for the Praxis course is the opportunity to improve your test-prep skills. The Praxis assessments are a series of standardized tests that include a number of different question formats, including essay and selected-response questions. Unfortunately, a lot of people struggle with standardized tests if they're not familiar with them. More often than not, this isn't because they don't know the answers, but because they're confused or overwhelmed with the test layout. The good news is that participating in a Praxis course can teach you how to mentally prepare for the assessments, providing you what valuable insights that help with managing your time and organizing your thoughts more effectively. That way, you've got a greater chance of feeling confident and calm when it comes time to take the tests.
Another great feature about the Las Vegas Praxis course is the convenience. Lessons are conducted online via the Live Learning Platform. Using tools like virtual whiteboards and video chat, you're able to follow along with your professional instructor as they cover the coursework. This means that you never have to worry about rushing across town to make it to a lesson. All you need to participate is a computer or portable device and an internet connection. On top of that, choosing a meeting time that works for you has never been easier. When you register, you're given the opportunity to choose between the available time slots for your course. And if you're unable to find a time that works for you, don't worry! New courses open up at the start of every month, so there's always time to rearrange your schedule and register for the next round of lessons.
How can I enroll in a Las Vegas Praxis prep course?
If you're tired of your current Praxis study program and are looking for something better suited to your learning style, we can help. All you need to do is contact Varsity Tutors and ask for more information about the Las Vegas Praxis course. Our educational consultants will answer any questions you have, and once you're ready to get started, they'll register you for the next available course that works with your schedule.

Kevin: Las Vegas PRAXIS course instructor
Having a degree in chemistry with emphases in mathematics and environmental science, I am meticulous about understanding the material itself as well as understanding why the material applies to you in your own personal life. With this in mind, I hope I can assist you not only in bettering your grades, but also understanding the world around you.... The techniques would vary from student to student. For some students, a logic-based derivation of the material works best (mathematical proofs, scientific research, etc.), while for others, practical application in their everyday lives works best (using mathematics to do taxes, science behind vaccines, etc.), while still others work best with rogue practicing of problems (working problems at the end of chapter, creating new problems, etc.).
