Private In-Home and Online PRAXIS Tutoring in Boston, MA
Receive personally tailored PRAXIS lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.
Varsity Tutors can connect you with knowledgeable Boston Praxis tutors in as little as 24 hours. The Praxis exams are a series of standardized tests that many states use as part of the teacher certification process. Generally speaking, candidates take the Praxis Core exam plus one or more Praxis Subject Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Tests directly related to what they hope to teach. A Boston Praxis tutor can help you prepare for all of the exams you need to take, so keep reading to learn more about the advantages private instruction can provide.
What are the benefits associated with working with Boston Praxis tutors?
Working with a one-on-one instructor allows you to approach your test prep at your own pace, whether that means introducing new topics more quickly to keep sessions engaging or spending more time on challenging concepts. Unlike many review courses, a Boston Praxis tutor doesn't have to stick to a rigid curriculum. As a result, they can adapt study sessions to cover whatever you need them to. For example, your instructor can keep explaining algebraic functions until you indicate you're ready for something new.
You are also the only student in your Boston Praxis tutoring sessions, virtually ensuring that all of your work is reviewed promptly. If you make a mistake, quick feedback allows you to review it while the material remains fresh in your mind. Similarly, any questions you have can be answered before a misunderstanding spirals out of hand. In fact, many test-takers find it easier to ask for assistance in a one-on-one environment than someplace with more students.
Your instructor can also teach to your preferred learning style to maximize your study efficiency. For instance, an auditory learner could benefit from lecture-based study sessions, while a visual learner could get more out of working with visual aids that illustrate the information.
What subjects can I study with a Boston Praxis tutor near me?
What you cover during Boston Praxis tutoring sessions depends entirely on which exams you're studying for. The Praxis Core Exam evaluates a candidate's Reading, Writing, and Mathematics skills. If you could retain more of what you read, your instructor can teach you active reading strategies to keep you engaged with the material. Likewise, understanding how to work from an outline can make it easier to compose essays on the Writing section. If math isn't your forte, your instructor can provide targeted practice problems to reinforce your skills and improve your self-confidence.
The Praxis Subjects Assessments cover 90 more specific areas such as agriculture, geometry, middle school language arts, and World History. We can refer you to an expert on any of these exams who can help break the content guide into more digestible components to make it easier to study.
PLT tests assess a teaching candidate's pedagogical knowledge of one of four age groups: Early Childhood, grades K-6, 5-9, and 7-12. Many of the questions involve case studies, so your instructor can give you hypothetical scenarios to help you prepare for whatever the test throws at you.
Can I review test-taking strategies during my Boston Praxis tutoring sessions?
Since every Praxis exam is its own test, it is best to have a set strategy for each of them individually. The Praxis Core Reading and Mathematics exams are both timed multiple-choice tests, so your instructor can show you how to eliminate incorrect choices to make your educated guesses more effective. The Praxis Core Writing test contains 40 multiple-choice items plus two essays. Your instructor can tell you what the graders are looking for from your essays, allowing you to shape your work accordingly.
Both Praxis Subject Assessments and PLT Tests have a blend of selected and constructed response items, with time limits that vary according to the test you're taking. Your instructor can answer any questions you have regarding an individual test's format, making it easier to budget your test time appropriately.
Your Boston Praxis tutor can administer practice assessments under realistic test-taking conditions to give you a sense of what to expect on exam day. For instance, most Praxis tests are taken on a computer in a testing center environment. If you aren't accustomed to taking tests in this setting, your instructor can give you a list of dos and don'ts to help you prepare. Likewise, practicing with a test's electronic interface can help mitigate any test anxiety you're experiencing. You can also review your answers with your instructor, helping you identify where you're improving and anything you might want to look over again.
