Private PRAXIS Tutoring in Chicago, IL
Receive personally tailored PRAXIS lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
Varsity Tutors is the only resource you need if you're interested in working with Chicago Praxis tutors. The Praxis exams are one way for prospective teachers to prove that they have the academic content knowledge and teaching skills required to lead a classroom. The test or tests you need to take depend on where, what, and who you want to teach. In general, you take the Praxis Core Exam plus one or more Praxis Subject Assessments and PLT (Principles of Learning and Teaching) Tests related to the subject and age group you hope to work with. Working with a Chicago Praxis tutor can be a great way to prepare for all of your exams, so continue reading to learn more about the benefits of private instruction.
What are some of the advantages professional Chicago Praxis tutors can offer?
Studying with a private instructor means working in a one-on-one learning environment that revolves around your needs. If you're having a hard time with geometry, your instructor can provide additional explanations and examples until you feel ready to move onto something new. If you already understand how to define words based on the context they appear in, your instructor can skip over that topic to make your Chicago Praxis tutoring sessions as productive as possible.
You are also the only student your instructor works with during your private study sessions, so any questions you have can be answered quickly. In fact, many students find it easier to ask an instructor they trust for help than somebody they don't have the same connection with. All of your assignments can also be reviewed promptly, allowing you to make any necessary corrections while the material remains at the forefront of your mind.
A private instructor can even design Chicago Praxis tutoring sessions around your natural learning style to improve your study efficiency. For instance, an auditory learner could repeat concepts out loud to help them stick, while a visual learner could get more from working with visual aids such as flashcards and infographics. There is no one way to study for a test, so why not work as efficiently as possible?
What topics can a Chicago Praxis tutor near me help me with?
Every Praxis test has its own content outline, so what you review depends on the exam or exams that you're studying for. For example, the Praxis Core Exam has Reading, Writing, and Mathematics subtests. Your instructor can teach you active reading techniques such as note-taking if you're worried about the reading comprehension items. Likewise, you can review how to work from an outline if you're concerned about getting your thoughts on the screen during an essay. Your instructor can also provide math problems targeted to your specific areas of opportunity to help you increase your self-confidence.
Praxis Subject Assessments test your knowledge of a specific content area such as United States history, middle school mathematics, family and consumer sciences, and biology. There are over 90 different Praxis Subject Assessments, but we can find you an instructor for any of them.
PLT tests measure your pedagogical knowledge of one of four age groups: Early Childhood, grades K-6, 5-9, and 7-12. Many of the items involve case studies, so your instructor can prepare you by providing hypothetical scenarios to consider.
Can my Chicago Praxis tutor teach me test-taking strategies?
Every Praxis exam is its own unique test, so it makes sense to have a customized approach for each of them. For instance, the Praxis Core Mathematics test consists of 56 multiple-choice questions in a 90-minute testing session. If you get stumped by a tricky question, your Chicago Praxis tutor can teach you how to take an educated guess by eliminating some of the incorrect answer choices so you don't burn too much time on a single item.
Praxis Subject Assessments and PLT Tests contain a blend of selected response and constructed response items. Each test has a different number of questions and time limits, but they are all timed. Your instructor can share proven time management strategies to make it easier to complete your exam within the time available to you.
You can also take practice exams during your Chicago Praxis tutoring sessions to get a sense of what to expect on test day. For instance, nearly every Praxis test is administered on a computer. If you aren't comfortable with computer-based assessments, practicing with an exam's interface can help soothe your nerves. You can also review your answers with your instructor to identify where you're improving and what you should look over again.
How do I get started with a Chicago Praxis tutor near me?
Varsity Tutors understands how busy you are, so we handle all of the research that goes into finding you the right private instructor. We vet every instructor thoroughly, so you can trust that the person we refer to you has the Praxis knowledge and communication skills you're looking for. We also do our best to find someone who's availability matches your own, mitigating the risk of scheduling conflicts.
Our exclusive Live Learning Platform also allows you to study online, so you don't have to worry about traveling. Many clients opt to study at home, but our mobile-friendly Platform is also accessible on your favorite device if you'd rather study at a local cafe or Newberry Library. Our Platform is equipped with powerful features such as a virtual whiteboard and video chat capability to make studying online feel the same as working in person. All of your study sessions are also recorded automatically, allowing you to go back and review anything whenever you want to. Working remotely also expands the number of potential instructors you can work with, as you can study with somebody outside of the Chicagoland area if you like.
Working with expert Chicago Praxis tutors is a great way to prepare for your exam, but you need to find the right fit to make the most of it. Varsity Tutors specializes in helping students like you connect with the help you need, so contact us today to get the process started!
