Varsity Tutors can help you take the next steps in creating the best Omaha Praxis prep strategy for your learning style. Different Praxis tests are used in many states in the process of teacher certification. Whether you've recently graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha or Creighton University with a degree in education, or you want to add a new certification to your resume, you will likely face a Praxis exam. Continue reading to learn more about Praxis exams and how Varsity Tutors can help you on your journey to teacher certification.
What can Omaha Praxis prep cover?
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) creates and administers all Praxis exams. All exams are computer-based, and scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly, which means there is no penalty for an incorrect answer. The number of items, format, and time allotted varies by exam.
Varsity Tutors can help you create an Omaha Praxis preparation strategy that involves enrolling in a prep class or being connected with a private instructor. Both options allow you to receive professional guidance as you prepare for your upcoming exam. The difference is in how they help you prepare. Let's look at both options more closely.
How can an Omaha Praxis prep class help me prepare?
A prep class provides you with the structure and routine, so many students are lacking when they begin preparing for a standardized exam. When you try to prepare for such an important test on your own, it can be challenging to know where to start and what to focus on. Knowing what is covered on the exam helps to direct your attention to the appropriate places to study. With a class, all of this preparation is done for you.
Your sessions will all be held in a secure online classroom. Attending class online has a number of benefits. First, you won't have to worry about a long commute or finding parking. While this sounds like a little thing, it can save you hours each week that can be spent preparing for your exam or attending to other responsibilities. Online classes also help to reduce the cost of implementing the class, which means savings for you.
When it is time for class to begin, all you need to join is have your digital device and a reliable internet connection. Once inside your classroom, you'll be able to easily see and hear the teacher and view shared resources on the digital whiteboard. Just like a traditional class, there are opportunities to ask questions. If you need more in-depth assistance, you can always request time with a teacher outside of your scheduled sessions.
How is working with an Omaha Praxis tutor different from taking a course?
An Omaha Praxis prep course is a group learning experience, whereas private instruction is one-on-one. Since you'll be the only student in your private session, your teacher has more opportunities to discover your learning style, academic strengths and weaknesses, and specific testing goals. All of this information can then be used in the creation of your personal plan of study.
When you work with a teacher individually, you can request a comprehensive overview of all of the material on which you will be tested. This is similar to what you would receive in a course. However, you can also choose to target only those areas in which you feel you need the most assistance. If there is a particular order you want to approach the material, this can also be taken into consideration. The beauty of working with a private instructor is that each detail of your session is designed to make the material more personally accessible to you. As you master one topic, you can quickly pivot and begin reviewing the next item on your list.
All of your sessions will be held in our Live Learning Platform. This secure online learning space allows you and your instructor to sit across from each other, no matter where you are physically located. Since you'll be the only student in the session, you'll have ample opportunity to ask any questions about the material you're covering and receive instant feedback.

Through my experiences, I have continued to carry my passion for working with children and have developed my skills in making successful and individualized learning fun.

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.
