Certified PRAXIS Tutor in San Francisco, CA
...I learned that a meaningful education requires more than just knowing facts and how to find the right answers. A good teacher must help students recognize their individual learning styles, discover any flaws in their foundation knowledge, set reasonable goals, and look for deeper meanings behind why a problem is best solved a certain way. Moreover, she taught me the importance of concise communication, organization and empathy when teaching. I think that not only is...

...even more fun once you get it. To me, chemistry is the perfect blend of science and math, which is great since I enjoy both! You can learn from the most basic atoms (don't trust them, they make up everything!) to the most complex proteins to applications in the real world. Chemistry is fun to learn, teach, and experience, so I try to make those random concepts as interesting and applicable as possible.

Private In-Home and Online PRAXIS Tutoring in San Francisco-Bay Area, CA
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.
If you're getting ready to take a Praxis test as part of your efforts to obtain a teaching license, Varsity Tutors can connect you with San Francisco-Bay Area Praxis tutors who can give you one-on-one guidance through the licensing process and help you review for the exam. Whether you're getting ready for the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators test (otherwise known as the Praxis Core), a Praxis Subject Assessment, or the Praxis Elementary Education: Content Knowledge for Teaching (or CKT) test, a private instructor can assist your studies of the specific content knowledge and teaching skills that you'll be expected to demonstrate on your Praxis exam.
What are the advantages of studying under a San Francisco-Bay Area Praxis tutor near me?
Considering the wide range of skills that the Praxis test assesses, as well as the variance between each of the three exams, it's likely that there are specific subjects that you feel you need to spend extra time reviewing and others where you're already well-prepared. A traditional classroom learning environment isn't always the best way to study for an exam like the Praxis test, as you'd be required to follow a set curriculum and keep pace with your classmates.
Individual instruction with San Francisco-Bay Area Praxis tutors offers a way around this limitation. Your private mentor can talk to you about your current level of readiness, weigh your strengths and weaknesses, and work with you directly to come up with a personalized plan of study that can use your study time efficiently, so you can make the most of your study sessions. You can spend however much time you need going over topics that you struggle with and skim through subjects that you already have a firm grasp on, reinforcing your skills where it's most beneficial to you and preventing you from wasting time.
San Francisco Praxis tutoring also allows you to lean into your natural learning style. Whether you're an auditory learner, a visual learner, or find hands-on project-based learning most effective, a Praxis mentor can cater to your personal strong suits. They can put together flashcards, flowcharts, and other visual learning aids, engage you in discussion-based lessons, or work through sample tests side-by-side with you as per your preferences.
What concepts will I have to show my knowledge of during the Praxis test, and how can a San Francisco-Bay Area Praxis tutor help me prepare?
The specific subject matter you'll want to review can differ depending on the version of the Praxis test that you're getting ready to take. The Praxis Core exam is split into three major sections: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. The Reading section will ask you to show your ability to analyze long and short passages, identifying main ideas and the purpose or standpoint of the author, determining whether the passages are presented as factual or mere opinion, and engaging in a comparative reading of different passages.
The Writing section will ask you to compose both an argumentative essay and an informative essay. Lastly, the Mathematics section requires you to show your understanding of algebra, geometry, statistics and probability, ratios, and more. San Francisco-Bay Area Praxis tutors can both take you through a comprehensive review of the entire Core test and slow down to focus on those individual areas where you need to shore up your knowledge or address misunderstandings.
The Praxis Subject Assessments tests are somewhat different - there are over 90 separate exams, each of which measures your ability to teach a particular subject, whether that's Middle School English Language Arts, Social Studies Content Knowledge, Agriculture, or any other content area. You'll have to respond to both selected-response questions and essay prompts to show your knowledge of the subject at hand on Subject Assessment tests.
Your San Francisco-Bay Area Praxis tutor can drill you with sample essays similar to those you'll see when you sit for the exam, find areas where you can improve, and offer constructive feedback. They can also teach you test-taking skills that you can use to quickly rule out incorrect multiple-choice answers and time-management abilities to keep you on pace during the test. Principles of Learning and Teaching (or PLT) tests are similar, but evaluate your ability to teach general content knowledge at one of four grade ranges: Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9 and 7-12.
How can I meet with a San Francisco-Bay Area Praxis tutor near me?
