Private In-Home and Online PRAXIS Tutoring in Jacksonville, FL
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.
If you're pursuing a teaching license and are gearing up to take the Praxis test, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a Jacksonville Praxis tutor who can lead you through a comprehensive review of the content knowledge and teaching abilities you'll have to demonstrate to succeed on the exam. There are several versions of the Praxis test - first up is the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators, or Praxis Core. Second are the Praxis Subject Assessments, and third is the Praxis Elementary Education: Content Knowledge for Teaching, or CKT. Regardless of which test (or tests) that you're getting ready to sit for, we can match you with experienced, highly qualified Jacksonville Praxis tutors who can give you insight into the structure of the exam and kick-start your studies.
What are the advantages of Jacksonville Praxis tutoring?
Considering the breadth of material that each version of the Praxis test covers and the variance between each of the tests, it's likely that you feel more prepared for some aspects of the exam than others. Maybe you're not concerned about your content knowledge but aren't sure how you'll fare when responding to questions intended to assess your pedagogical abilities, or perhaps you're a confident test-taker when it comes to multiple-choice exams but worry that your extemporaneous writing skills aren't up to snuff.
Whatever the case may be, Jacksonville Praxis tutoring allows for personalized instruction that takes your unique qualities as a learner into account. Unlike a traditional prep class taught in a classroom of other students, you'll be your instructor's sole focus, so you can move at your own pace and don't have to abide by a prescribed curriculum. If you're struggling with a particular topic you and your mentor can work at it until you feel ready to move on, rather than advancing to other subjects simply because the pace of the class demands it. You can spend your valuable study time where it's most effective, focusing on those areas that you need the most help with and moving quickly through concepts that you already understand.
Jacksonville Praxis tutors can account for your individual learning style when they design your study plan, too. Whether you're a visual learner, an auditory learner, or prefer to learn through hands-on experience, your instructor can create lessons that play to your strengths. They could put together sets of flashcards, diagrams, and other pictorial aids, for instance, engage you in discussion-based learning, or work through sample tests with you side-by-side. The more time you spend studying with your Jacksonville Praxis tutor the better an idea they can get of what methods you respond to, and can then adjust their plans for future lessons accordingly.
What material can I study with a Jacksonville Praxis tutor near me?
The specific concepts and content knowledge that you'll focus on can depend on which Praxis test you're getting ready to take. In the case of the Praxis Core exam, you'll be preparing for the three subsections of the test: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. The Reading section will supply you with sets of long and short written passages, which you'll be expected to read and respond to analytically. You'll have to examine the central argument and main themes of passages, identify the author's intent, discern between factual and opinionated writing, compare and relate texts to one another, and more.
The Writing section will ask you to answer multiple-choice questions about research and revision strategies and compose two essays, one of which will be argumentative, the other explanatory. The Mathematics section will test you on a range of math fundamentals, like algebra, geometry, ratios, probability, and so on. In addition to assisting you in brushing up on the individual subjects that the Praxis Core focuses on, Jacksonville Praxis tutors can teach you test-taking skills that you can put to use on the exam, from methods to quickly mark off incorrect multiple-choice answers to time-management abilities that can help you keep track of how much time you're spending on each question.
Praxis Subject Assessments can vary significantly from test to test, as they're intended to evaluate your understanding of the critical concepts that you'll need to know to teach a specific subject. There are over 90 Subject Assessments, ranging from Geometry to Agriculture to Family and Consumer Sciences. You'll see both multiple-choice and essay questions here as well.
Whichever Subject Assessment you're planning on taking, we can match you up with a Jacksonville Praxis tutor who's well versed in the subject at hand, so you can feel confident that you're working with a qualified mentor. The Principles of Learning and Teaching, or PLT, tests fall under this category as well. These tests focus on general pedagogical abilities at four different grade levels: Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9 and 7-12. As before, if you're readying yourself for a PLT test we'll connect you with an instructor who knows the ins and outs of the exam at the grade level you're interested in teaching.
How will I meet with a Jacksonville Praxis tutor near me?
Jacksonville Praxis tutoring takes place entirely online through our Live Learning Platform. This is a set of tools that can make online learning feel just like in-person study, such as video chat that allows you to see, hear, and speak with your instructor face-to-face. You can also take advantage of a virtual whiteboard, automatically recorded sessions that you can revisit if you want to take another look at a subject you've already covered, and a shared document viewer that you and your instructor can use to go over sample essay prompts or Praxis Core Reading questions, or to go over your own practice essays to find areas you can improve on.
Online study can make meeting with your private mentor convenient, as you'll be able to work together without having to commute to any specific location. You can study wherever you find yourself most productive and free of distractions, whether that's a favorite coffee shop, a library like the Jacksonville Public Library's San Marcos Branch or Main Library, or even your own home.
If you reach out to Varsity Tutors today we can talk to you about your scheduling requirements and start searching for a Jacksonville Praxis tutor who suits your availability. We can find someone who's right for you in as little as 24 hours, so give us a call and get started striving for excellence on the Praxis test.
