What are the benefits of working with a Syracuse Praxis tutor near me?

Considering the range of Praxis tests available and the breadth of subject knowledge and pedagogical skills that they can test you on, it's not surprising that many students can find themselves well prepared for some elements of the exam and less confident about other aspects of their skillset. You could be a highly competent writer and not be worried about written-response sections of the test, for example, but still feel unsure of your ability to demonstrate your understanding of accepted teaching methodologies during multiple-choice testing. Or, you could feel that you need to focus your time on specific content knowledge.

Traditional classroom style test prep isn't always well equipped to deal with this situation, as in most classrooms you're required to follow a prescribed curriculum and keep up with your classmates, which can limit your ability to focus on the subjects and skills that matter most to you. The private mentorship offered by Syracuse Praxis tutors can offer a solution by placing you and your unique qualities as a learner at the center of the test prep process. Your instructor can assess your skills as they are now and put together a study plan that targets your weak points and aims to have you feeling confident about your abilities come test day. You can work at a pace that's effective for you and allows you to take whatever time is necessary to get you up to speed on each subject you review before you move on while spending less time on those topics that you've already grasped.

Syracuse Praxis tutors can accommodate your innate learning preferences as well. Whether you learn best through auditory means, visual aids, or hands-on practice, your instructor can adjust their lessons to be effective for you. They could put together discussion-based lessons, draw up flowcharts, infographics, and flashcards, or work through test materials with you as the case may be. The more time you spend working with a Syracuse Praxis tutor the more they can come to understand what teaching techniques you respond to, and they can then lean into those methods.

What material can I study with Syracuse Praxis tutors?

The Praxis Core test is split into three sections: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. The Reading section will supply you with sets of long and short written passages and ask you to analyze them and respond. You'll have to be able to identify the driving point of an argument and the intent of the author, comment on tone and writing style, evaluate the soundness of an argument, and compare texts to one another. The Writing section will require you to answer multiple-choice questions about research and revision methods, as well as presenting you with two essay prompts, one informative and the other argumentative. The Mathematics section will assess your understanding of a variety of fundamental mathematical principles in a range of fields, from geometry to algebra to probability. In addition to assisting you in reviewing the conceptual knowledge at hand, Syracuse Praxis tutoring can help you enhance your test-taking skills. You can learn techniques to pace yourself during long stretches of testing so you don't run out of time or find yourself rushing through the test, and practice writing extemporaneous essays so you can feel comfortable and calm when you're faced with the Writing section.

Praxis Subject Assessments can differ from one test to another, as there are more than 90 tests. Each exam relates to a certain subject, from Agriculture to Middle School English Language Arts, to World and U.S. History: Content Knowledge. This category also includes the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) tests, which assess your overall pedagogical abilities aimed at one one of four grade levels: Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9 and 7-12. Like the Praxis Core, these tests are a mix of multiple-choice and essay questions. Whichever subject or grade level you're hoping to teach, we can match you with a Syracuse Praxis tutor who is well versed in the content areas that you'll face on the exam.
