Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS is a standardized test required for teacher certification in Pennsylvania. Depending on your certification area, you may take PRAXIS Subject Assessments (testing content knowledge in your subject), Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) exams, or both. Most educators in Pennsylvania need to pass PRAXIS exams before they can obtain a teaching license, making it a critical step in your path to becoming a certified teacher.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on your specific weak areas rather than a one-size-fits-all classroom approach. With Philadelphia's 14.4:1 average student-teacher ratio in schools, getting individualized attention during test prep can make a significant difference. Tutors can create targeted study plans, provide practice questions aligned to actual PRAXIS content, and offer real-time feedback to build both content mastery and test-taking confidence.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors across a wide range of PRAXIS Subject Assessments, including Mathematics, Science, English Language Arts, Social Studies, and many others. Whether you're preparing for elementary education, secondary subject-specific certification, or specialized teaching areas, tutors can help you master the content and test format for your specific certification path.

Many test-takers struggle with the breadth of content covered—PRAXIS exams test deep subject knowledge across multiple topics. Others find the time pressure challenging, as the exams require quick recall and application of concepts. Additionally, balancing test prep with coursework or teaching responsibilities can be difficult. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by helping you prioritize high-impact content, develop efficient problem-solving strategies, and create a realistic study schedule.

Your first session typically begins with an assessment of your current knowledge, strengths, and areas needing improvement. The tutor will discuss your certification goals, review the specific PRAXIS exam format and content, and understand your timeline. From there, you'll work together to create a personalized study plan that focuses your efforts on the concepts most likely to appear on your exam and those where you need the most support.

Improvement timelines vary based on your starting point, the subject area, and how frequently you meet with a tutor. Many students see meaningful progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent, focused preparation. The key is regular practice with actual PRAXIS-style questions, targeted review of weak areas, and strategic test-taking techniques—all of which personalized tutoring can accelerate compared to self-study alone.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong expertise in their subject areas and understand the PRAXIS exam format and content requirements. Many have teaching experience, advanced degrees, or both, giving them insight into what the exam actually tests. Each tutor is selected based on their ability to teach the material effectively and help students achieve their certification goals.

Pricing for personalized PRAXIS tutoring is flexible and depends on factors like tutor expertise, session frequency, and your specific needs. You can typically start with a single session to see if the fit works, then adjust your schedule based on your progress and timeline. Varsity Tutors works with you to find an arrangement that fits your budget while keeping you on track for exam success.
