Mona's own academic path — a pharmacy degree followed by a master's in epidemiology — means she's deeply familiar with the content knowledge tested across Praxis subtests in math, science, and reading. She breaks down each section's question style so candidates know exactly what the scoring rubrics reward, not just what the right answer is.

Blair earned her Master of Arts in Teaching from Johns Hopkins and has spent years in the classroom teaching high school ELA and AP US History — exactly the kind of real-world experience that makes Praxis content and pedagogy questions feel familiar rather than abstract. She walks test-takers through the reading, writing, and social studies sections with concrete strategies drawn from her own successful path through licensure.
Jennifer's social sciences degree and broad teaching range across reading, writing, math, and elementary content give her solid coverage of the Praxis Core Academic Skills domains — particularly the reading comprehension and essay sections where candidates often underestimate the scoring rubric. She walks test-takers through ETS's specific expectations for constructed responses and teaches them to budget time across question types so nothing gets rushed at the end. Rated 4.9 by students.
As a certified social studies teacher who passed her own Praxis exams, Michelle knows firsthand what the test demands — from content-area knowledge to the constructed-response questions that catch many candidates off guard. She walks test-takers through targeted review strategies and practice question analysis tailored to their specific Praxis subject area.
Preparing for the Praxis means juggling reading comprehension, writing, and math content all at once, which can feel overwhelming without a clear plan. Renae earned her Master of Arts in Teaching and has firsthand experience with the exam's format, so she breaks prep into targeted skill areas — from crafting argumentative essays under time pressure to tackling quantitative reasoning questions efficiently.
The PRAXIS covers a lot of ground, and Erin's own education background gives her firsthand familiarity with the pedagogy and content knowledge the exam tests. She zeroes in on the areas where a student's practice scores are weakest — whether that's reading comprehension, math reasoning, or writing — and builds targeted review sessions around those gaps.
Speech Language Pathology majors face a unique version of the Praxis — the SLP-specific subtest requires command of language acquisition, phonology, and clinical terminology that most general tutors can't touch. Megan is studying SLP at Northeastern right now, so the content is fresh and actively in her coursework. Her 33 ACT and 1540 SAT also mean she can support candidates tackling the Core Academic Skills sections in reading, writing, and math.
A biology degree plus a 33 ACT and 1500 SAT mean Kaitlyn already has strong command of the science, math, and reading content that anchors the Praxis Core and many subject-area subtests. She teaches across all three core domains and uses her own test-taking instincts to show candidates how to read ETS question stems carefully and eliminate trap answers quickly. Rated 4.8 by students.
Preparing for the Praxis means juggling content review with test strategy, and the balance shifts depending on which exam you're taking. As a high school teacher with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, Marion has been on both sides of the certification process and knows which content areas the exams weight most heavily. She zeroes in on the pedagogy and subject-knowledge questions that trip up first-time test-takers.
I am an experienced educator with a strong background in biology, general science, and core academic subjects across elementary, middle, and high school levels. I specialize in helping students build confidence while mastering challenging material. I am approved to tutor all elementary and middle school core subjects, as well as high school science, English, and writing. I also provide targeted test preparation for the ACT, GED, ISEE, PSAT, SSAT, and TACHS, focusing on both content mastery and effective test-taking strategies. My teaching style is student-centered and adaptable. I tailor each session to the learner's needs, using clear explanations, guided practice, and structured support to break down complex concepts. I also create a positive, low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing. My goal is to help students improve academically while becoming more confident, independent learners.
Certified in Math 7-12 in Connecticut, David has been through the Praxis gauntlet himself and knows which content areas carry the most weight on test day. He takes a strategic approach: identifying the specific subtests and question types a student struggles with, then drilling those areas with targeted practice rather than broad review. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that focused method works under real testing conditions.
The Praxis exams test both content mastery and the ability to apply knowledge in classroom-relevant scenarios, which means rote review alone rarely gets candidates across the passing threshold. Emily, who holds a doctorate and has extensive experience with standardized professional exams in her own field, walks test-takers through targeted content review and question-analysis strategies specific to their Praxis subject area.
Studying for the Praxis while juggling coursework or a classroom placement is overwhelming, and Emma knows the experience firsthand — she cleared her Praxis exams on the way to earning her M.Ed. in elementary teaching. She breaks prep into manageable chunks across reading, writing, and math, identifying which content areas need the most attention so study time is actually efficient. Her familiarity with both the elementary education and core exams means she can tailor review to whichever Praxis test is coming up next.
The Praxis covers a wide range of content depending on the certification area, and Kiara's own teaching background means she knows firsthand what the exam is actually measuring. She builds review plans around each candidate's weakest content strands — whether that's reading pedagogy, math reasoning, or constructed-response writing — so study time targets the points that matter most.
I have over 9 years of experience tutoring students preparing for teacher certification exams and hold degrees in English and Education, as well as a technical writing certification. I enjoy helping students strengthen their reading comprehension so they can break down test questions and avoid common multiple-choice mistakes. I also guide students in using exam specifications to study strategically and focus on what is most likely to appear on the test. My goal is to help every student feel confident, prepared, and calm on test day. I would love to help you achieve success.
Elizabeth's political science degree and 32 ACT give her strong footing in the reading, writing, and analytical reasoning domains that anchor the Praxis Core — and her broad teaching range across English, math, social studies, and grammar means she can pivot quickly between content areas during prep sessions. She zeroes in on the constructed-response sections where many candidates lose points by misreading what ETS's rubric actually rewards.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS is a series of standardized tests required for teacher certification in New York State. Depending on your certification area, you may take the PRAXIS Core Academic Skills for Educators (CASE) exam, subject-specific content exams, or pedagogy assessments. New York requires passing scores on relevant PRAXIS exams before you can earn your teaching license.
New York requires educators to pass content-area PRAXIS exams that align with their certification subject (such as PRAXIS Mathematics, English Language Arts, or Science). You'll also need to meet the state's passing score thresholds, which vary by exam. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand New York's certification requirements and can help you prepare for the specific exams your path requires.
Many test-takers struggle with time management—PRAXIS exams have strict time limits that require efficient reading and problem-solving. Others find the content breadth challenging, especially in subject-specific exams that cover years of coursework. Additionally, test anxiety and unfamiliarity with the exam format can impact performance. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific obstacles by focusing on your weakest areas, teaching time-management strategies, and building confidence through practice.
Group test prep courses follow a set curriculum, but personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts to your specific needs. A tutor can identify whether you're struggling with content knowledge, test strategy, or anxiety—then focus exclusively on those areas. For students in New York preparing for PRAXIS exams, this targeted approach means faster progress and higher confidence, since every session builds directly on your goals rather than covering material you've already mastered.
Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment to understand your baseline knowledge, identify content gaps, and evaluate your test-taking strengths and weaknesses. Your tutor will also discuss your certification timeline, specific exam requirements, and learning style to create a customized prep plan. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session is focused and efficient.
The timeline depends on your starting point, target score, and how frequently you meet with a tutor. Some students see measurable improvement in 4-6 weeks with consistent weekly sessions, while others benefit from longer preparation spanning 2-3 months. The key is regular practice combined with targeted instruction—your tutor will help you set realistic milestones and track progress toward your certification goals.
Expert tutors working with Varsity Tutors for PRAXIS preparation typically have deep subject-matter expertise, teaching experience, and familiarity with New York's certification requirements. Many have successfully passed the PRAXIS exams themselves and understand both the content and test strategy needed to excel. When you get matched with a tutor, you can review their background and experience to ensure they're the right fit for your needs.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in the specific PRAXIS exam you're taking—whether that's Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, or another content area. If you're strongest in some topics but struggling with others, your tutor can concentrate on those weaker areas while reinforcing foundational knowledge. This targeted approach is especially valuable for students in New York managing multiple certification requirements.
