Private In-Home and Online PRAXIS Tutoring in Indianapolis, IN
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 find you an Indianapolis Praxis tutor if you need expert support while preparing for the Praxis test. The Praxis is one of the requirements aspiring professional teachers need to fulfill, and subjects tested on it will depend on the subject and grade level you want to teach. It can be a challenging exam since there are many topics to cover, and each state will have its own acceptable passing mark. With all the details and content you need to know, it's prudent to study with experienced Indianapolis Praxis tutoring instructors so that you can receive proper guidance and make your test prep efforts worthwhile.
What are some of the advantages of working with an Indianapolis Praxis tutor?
Studying with a private teacher allows you to have one-on-one lessons and avoid some of the common distractions that can happen in a classroom set-up. Since your teacher is only focused on helping you address your difficulties and meet your test goals, you'll receive 100% of the attention of your teacher throughout the lessons. You can ask as many questions as you need when trying to understand a specific topic and get instant feedback and answers. There's no need to be self-conscious when asking questions and you can study at your own pace.
You can also follow a customized study plan based on the topics that you need to work on. Traditional review courses have a set curriculum that the teacher and students need to adhere to; thus, it's difficult to experience a personalized approach to learning. In your private lessons with your Indianapolis Praxis tutoring instructor, you can skip topics you already have good knowledge of and focus more of your study time on the ones you're struggling with. If you need extra help understanding some of the concepts under general pedagogy, you can have longer, detailed discussions about that with your teacher rather than spending an equal amount of time on topics you already know.
What topics can Indianapolis Praxis tutors review with me?
There are three types of tests that make up the Praxis. These are the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators, or CORE, the Praxis Subject Assessments, and Praxis Content Knowledge for Teaching Assessments, or CKT. The exam is a computer-based test and the score is determined by the number of questions answered correctly. There is no penalty for incorrect answers. You can become familiar with the content and format of the test when you study with your private instructor.
On the CORE exam, there are three sections you can take individually on separate test days or as one combined test. The sections are reading, writing, and mathematics. The reading section will consist of passages followed by questions, while the writing section will ask you to write essay responses in a limited period of time. The mathematics sections will cover topics like number and quantity, geometry, algebra and functions, and statistics and probability.
The Praxis Subject Assessments include over 90 different tests and measures your knowledge of specific K-12 subjects. Some of the tests include World and U.S. History: Content Knowledge, Middle School English Language Arts, and Art: Content and Analysis. The CKT covers subject-specific content knowledge for teachers who want to teach elementary education. Some of the topics included in the CKT are mathematics, science, social studies, reading, and language arts. When you study with your Indianapolis Praxis tutoring instructor, you can have opportunities to sharpen your skills and knowledge of these topics by answering practice questions provided by your teacher.
Can an Indianapolis Praxis tutor near me teach me test-taking strategies too?
Preparing for any standardized test involves not just reviewing for the subjects covered on the exam but also learning some test-taking techniques. With the help of your Indianapolis Praxis tutors, you can learn useful strategies to help you on exam day. For example, you can use blind guessing when faced with a difficult question that seems to have more than one answer. You might encounter this type of question when answering multiple-choice items on the CORE reading and writing tests. The reading test has 56 questions you need to finish in 85 minutes, while the writing has 40 questions you need to complete in 40 minutes.
The writing section also has an essay section where you need to write your response to two essay items. You'll be given 60 minutes to complete this section. In order to prepare for this test and sharpen your skills in writing under time pressure, your teacher can train you on techniques like outlining and using headlines and subheads. Outlining helps you write down the important points you want to mention while using headlines and subheads can make your essay more reader-oriented.
You also have to strike the right balance between answering for accuracy and staying aware of the time limit for the test. Thanks to the experience and familiarity of your teacher with the content and format of the Praxis, they can teach you time management strategies in order to help you become more efficient when taking the test.
