Varsity Tutors can help connect you with a private Madison Praxis tutor or online courses that can help you move forward in your teaching career. The Praxis test is often taken by individuals who wish to enter the teaching profession. The test can focus on either core skills, elementary review, or even a specific subject. While you've likely studied the material that is on the exam while in school, such as at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, Edgewood College, or another nearby institution, it can be helpful to review the material again through a comprehensive review. Whether you would like to take an online Madison Praxis prep course or get help from a private tutor, it's best to get a complete overview of the test, rather than trying to teach it to yourself.
What concepts are covered during Madison Praxis prep?
Praxis tests can cover everything from the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators, known as Core, to Praxis Elementary Education: Content Knowledge for Teaching (CKT), or even Praxis Subject Assessments. These all cover different areas of educational testing. The Core focuses on topics such as Reading, Writing, and Math, and the Subject Assessments emphasize the specific topic detailed on the certification. The tests range from one to four hours long, depending on what you're testing for.
The Madison Praxis prep covers not only the content of the exam but also the format in which it is delivered. Since the tests are administered by computer and there are no penalties for guessing answers, it's important to understand how to use the process of elimination and read each question carefully. Your Madison Praxis prep instructor can show you how to make the most of your time, so you aren't spending too long on any one question and can progress through each section of the test while feeling confident in your skills due to good test preparation.
What are the benefits of the different types of Praxis prep?
There are two types of prep options that Varsity Tutors can help you get set up with. These include online courses and private instruction. While most students have one method that they prefer, there's nothing to stop you from choosing both if you feel that will work best for you. While each option has unique benefits, you'll get accurate and up-to-date information with either option from a qualified instructor you can trust. Here are the benefits of both types of Madison Praxis prep.
If you like working with other students in a classroom setup, you might enjoy enrolling in an online Madison Praxis prep class. You'll attend the classes online, using video chat and a virtual whiteboard to interact and connect with your instructor and other students, all of which are part of the Live Learning Platform. Here, you can study, ask questions, and get immediate feedback during class so you're not left waiting for an answer. If you ever find you need more help or have additional questions, you can always arrange to work with your instructor in one-on-one meetings.
If you'd rather have private instruction, we can help you get connected to a Madison Praxis tutor. By working with an instructor on an individual basis, you can spend as much time as you'd like on a topic. Your mentor can develop a customized lesson plan based on your needs while identifying your strengths and weaknesses. From there, they can help you memorize terms, and focus on topics such as the subject you're studying or reviewing how the core subjects will be used within the test. Your instructor can even use learning methods that make the most sense for your needs, such as a lecture for an auditory learner, or visual aids for those who need to see things to better understand them. If you find yourself comfortable with certain items you're reviewing, your instructor can skip ahead, and you can simply focus on what you need the most help with.
How can I get set up with Madison Praxis preparation?
Whether you choose a group class or individual tutoring, your prep is led by an instructor who knows the content and format of the exam and can help you make the most of your time studying for the Praxis. Because classes and tutoring take place online, you'll never need to worry about factoring in commute time. If you're curious how you can benefit from Madison Praxis prep, give Varsity Tutors a call today, and find out how you can get started.

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.

A tutor or teacher can offer information or ideas. Cooperation with the student is required for learning to occur. I have taught in many environments from basketball coach to snowboard instructor. My education is taking me toward becoming a Math teacher. I look forward to the interactions where I can help students engage with the academic material ... Small goals and recognition of accomplishments are a useful to maintaining motivation.... Learning is rarely independent. We rely on books, teachers, tutors, and the Internet. I believe that the goal is to become a resourceful learner. When a student knows how to seek information, he or she will feel independent and empowered.
