Private In-Home and Online PRAXIS Tutoring in Milwaukee, WI
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.
You can connect with a knowledgeable Milwaukee Praxis tutor with the help of Varsity Tutors. The Praxis is one of the requirements candidates need to fulfill if they want to work as a professional teacher. The subjects tested on the exam will depend on the subject and grade level you wish to teach. It can be daunting to prepare for a standardized test like the Praxis. There are many topics to cover, and there can be times that you hit roadblocks in your studies. Having access to expert teachers through Milwaukee Praxis tutoring can make your test prep more convenient and effective. Your teacher can meet you on your availability and provide answers to your questions so that you don't need to spend so much time figuring out things on your own.
What are some of the advantages of working with a Milwaukee Praxis tutor?
Studying with your teacher in one-on-one lessons can be an excellent way to avoid the common distractions found in a classroom set-up. You'll be able to ask questions without worrying about taking too much time away from other students. You also don't need to feel self-conscious about asking as many questions as needed in order for you to understand a topic. Since your teacher's sole priority is to help you address your core difficulties, they can spend as much time as necessary to help you clear up any misunderstood points.
Another great thing about working with a Milwaukee Praxis tutoring instructor is that you can follow a study plan that's based on what you really need to study. Unlike in a traditional review course where the teacher sticks to a set curriculum, your private lessons can be flexible and focus on the subjects you need to improve. For example, if there are concepts about general pedagogy that confuse you, your teacher can provide in-depth lectures on that topic and just skim over other topics you already know. This way you can focus your effort and valuable study time on the things that can have the biggest impact on your test prep.
What topics can Milwaukee Praxis tutors review with me?
The Praxis has three different exams: the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators, or CORE, the Praxis Subject Assessments, and Praxis Content Knowledge for Teaching Assessments, or CKT. All tests are administered using a computer and the scores are determined by the number of questions you're able to answer correctly. You won't get penalized for incorrect answers. If you have more questions about the exam or want to clarify any details about the content of each type of test, your instructor can help you during your lessons.
There are three sections on the CORE exam, namely reading, writing, and mathematics. The reading section will contain passages with varying lengths and followed by questions, while the writing section has multiple-choice questions and essay items. The mathematics section will test you on topics like algebra and functions, statistics and probability, and geometry. You can take these exams on separate testing sessions or as one combined exam.
As for the Praxis Subject Assessments, you'll be tested on your knowledge of specific subjects that educators need to know if they plan to teach K-12 subjects. You'll also need to demonstrate your skills in general and subject-specific teaching. There are over 90 exams for this assessment, including Agriculture, Art: Content and Analysis, and Social Studies: Content Knowledge.
The CKT is meant to measure subject-specific content knowledge, with a focus on specialized content knowledge used in elementary school teaching. The topics included on this test are reading and language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. You can prepare for the different Praxis tests by working with your Milwaukee Praxis tutoring instructor on practice questions that can help you become more familiar with what you might encounter on the day of the exam.
Can a Milwaukee Praxis tutor near me teach me test-taking strategies too?
With the help of your Milwaukee Praxis tutors, you can also learn useful test-taking techniques.One of them is the process of elimination where you can quickly leave out incorrect answers. This technique can become really useful if you are faced with a difficult multiple-choice question such as what you might find on the writing section for the CORE test. There are 40 multiple-choice questions you need to answer in 40 minutes on the writing test, which is not a lot of time to scrutinize each item carefully. By using the process of elimination, you can narrow down your choices and increase your chances of selecting the right answer.
The writing section of the CORE test also has an essay section. You need to write an argumentative essay and an informative/explanatory essay. You're given 60 minutes to complete this section. In order to prepare for this exam, your teacher can help you train on how to write an outline so that you already have a clear direction on where you want to start and end your essay and how you can logically insert your supportive details throughout your response. Using this technique can save you valuable test time since you don't need to pause and think about the points you want to include in your essay.
