How can I benefit from studying with a private Kansas City Praxis tutor near me?
When studying with private Kansas City Praxis tutors, you can go at your own pace. You won't have to rush to finish a set curriculum. Instead, you can take your time to ask questions. Your instructor can spend more time on the topics you are having trouble with while skimming over topics you already understand.

Private Kansas City Praxis tutors can cater to your specific learning style. They can try out different techniques until they find the ones that work best for you. For example, if you are a visual learner, they can use flashcards and graphs to help you learn information and remember data. If you respond better to auditory input, they can lead interactive discussions that can help you gain new insights and approach topics from a new perspective.
Your Kansas City Praxis tutor can also help you create a study plan to follow during your free time to keep your skills sharp. They can recommend books or other resources for you to use to expand your knowledge. Your Kansas City Praxis tutor can encourage you to reach for your goals.
What topics can Kansas City Praxis tutors teach me?
There are different kinds of Praxis tests. Regardless of which one you are preparing for, studying with a private instructor can help. The Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core) exam measure academic skills in the core subjects of reading, writing, and math. It is a computerized exam and consists of three different tests for the three subjects mentioned above (these three tests can be taken all at once or separately).
The Reading test has 56 questions, for which you will have 85 minutes. It will include long, short, and paired passages and statements and ask you questions about them. Some of the skills you will be tested on include identifying the main purpose of a passage and any supporting details. You should be able to determine the author's intent and tone of voice, as well as key transition words in a passage. You might be asked to evaluate arguments and their supporting data and compare texts.
The Writing test has two sections. You will have to write two essays in one hour and answer 40 questions in 40 minutes. It will assess your writing skills. The math test has 56 questions, for which you will have one and a half hours.
There are also Praxis Subject Assessments. These exams are designed to assess your knowledge in the specific subject you plan on teaching. Examples of Praxis Subject Assessments include Agriculture, Art, Geometry, Social Studies, and World and US History exams. Besides Subject Assessments, there are also Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Tests, which measure your pedagogical knowledge at one of four grade levels.
Tests can be between one and four hours long. There are no penalties for incorrect answers; rather, your score will be based on how many answers are correct. Therefore, your instructor might advise you to take your best guess and move on when faced with a difficult question. This way, you can have more time for other questions on the exam.
Your instructor can help you improve your test-taking skills in general. For example, they can advise you to read each question carefully before providing an answer, especially on the Reading test. They might even give you practice tests to help you get used to answering questions under the pressure of a time limit.
