Private PRAXIS Tutoring in Los Angeles, CA
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.
If you're interested in connecting with Los Angeles Praxis tutors, consider reaching out to Varsity Tutors today. The Praxis exams are a series of standardized tests written to help determine whether a teaching candidate as the academic knowledge and fundamental teaching skills required to lead a classroom. The specific exams taken depend on what a candidate is trying to earn certification for. Somebody trying to become an elementary school teacher might take the Praxis Core Examination, several Praxis Subject Assessments, and a Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Test, for example. We can find you a professional Los Angeles Praxis tutor no matter which exams you're preparing for, so keep reading to discover more about the services we provide.
What are some of the advantages associated with private Los Angeles Praxis tutors?
A private instructor allows you to work at your own pace. If you already understand a particular concept, your instructor doesn't need to waste any valuable Los Angeles Praxis tutoring time on it. If you're having a harder time with something, your private educator can provide additional explanations and examples until you feel ready to move on. Most other test prep solutions lack the same flexibility, forcing students to work within a predefined curriculum rather than adapting to their unique needs.
Since you are the only student your Los Angeles Praxis tutor is responsible for during your study sessions, any questions you have can be answered as soon as you articulate them. In fact, you may find it easier to ask a private instructor for assistance than somebody responsible for more students. A private tutor can also return work to you in a timely fashion, letting you review any mistakes before you forget what you were thinking at the time.
Your instructor can even design Los Angeles Praxis tutoring sessions around your preferred learning style to improve their efficiency. For instance, a visual learner might use aids such as flashcards and infographics to help them picture abstract concepts, while an auditory learner could benefit more from oral repetition of key information. There is no universal approach to standardized test prep, so why not adopt a methodology that figures to work well for you?
What content areas can a Los Angeles Praxis tutor near me help me go over?
Every Praxis exam has its own content rubric, so what you cover with your Los Angeles Praxis tutor largely depends on the specific tests you're studying for. For instance, the Praxis Core Exam contains three separate subtests: reading, writing, and mathematics. If you need help on the reading exam, your instructor can demonstrate active reading strategies such as note-taking to make it easier for you to answer reading comprehension questions. If you could express yourself more effectively in writing, your instructor can show you how to outline your essays for the exam's writing portion. Similarly, students who tense up at the mere prospect of numbers can complete practice problems until they are more comfortable with quantitative topics such as geometry and statistics.
There are over 90 different Praxis Subject Assessments available, some of which are rather a niche (Family and Consumer Sciences, Agriculture). We can find you a knowledgeable instructor for any test no matter how obscure, making it easier for you to gain insight into your assessment's content.
We can also find you a qualified instructor for the PLT Tests. The PLT Tests test your pedagogical knowledge of one of four specific age groups: Early Childhood, grades K-6, 5-9, and 7-12. Items on these tests are frequently presented as case studies, so your instructor can provide similar hypothetical scenarios for you to work with.
Can I review test-taking tips and strategies with Los Angeles Praxis tutors?
Every Praxis test has a unique structure. For instance, the math component of the Praxis Core Examination contains 56 multiple-choice items over a testing session lasting an hour and a half. Your instructor can teach you how to eliminate some of the incorrect answer choices if you get stuck, making it easier for you to finish the exam while simultaneously enhancing the efficacy of any educated guesses you take.
Many Praxis Subject Assessments and PLT tests have some form of constructed-response items. You cannot really guess when you need to provide the answer yourself, but your instructor can show you how to find clues as to what the correct response might be.
You can also take practice exams under realistic test-taking conditions during your private study sessions to get a sense of what to expect on exam day. For example, experiencing the time available to you can make it easier to budget on test day. Likewise, gaining practical experience with an assessment's electronic interface can help combat any test anxiety you're feeling. You can also review your responses with your instructor, helping you identify where you're progressing and what you might need to look over again.
How do I get started with a Los Angeles Praxis tutor near me?
We understand how busy you are, so we try to make working with a private instructor as simple as possible. We handle all of the research that goes into finding the right teacher, giving you all of the benefits of a private instructor without the hassle of finding one. We also do our best to match you with someone who suits your scheduling needs, minimizing schedule conflicts.
We also offer an exclusive Live Learning Platform, which is an online classroom with powerful features like a shared document editor and video chat to provide a face-to-face study experience anywhere with a stable internet connection. All of your study sessions are also recorded automatically, allowing you to go back and review any concepts you've discussed previously. Best of all, our platform is mobile-friendly. It's just as easy to study at home as it would be to go to West Hollywood Library or another study location. Why go out of your way when a great study experience can come to you?
If you're ready to try Los Angeles Praxis tutoring for yourself, reach out to Varsity Tutors today for additional information about our services. We hope to hear from you soon!
