Award-Winning PRAXIS Tutors
serving Tampa, FL

Education has always been at the center of my life. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech, then went on to study Mathematics at the graduate level at the University of South Florida. Later, I completed a degree in Educational Leadership, which allowed me to combine my love for teaching with strong expertise in tutoring for exams such as the PRAXIS and FTCE. I began tutoring many years ago, and it quickly became one of the great joys of my career. I truly love everything about schoollearning, teaching, and being part of the academic journey. As a high school math teacher, I taught a wide range of subjects, from Algebra to AP Calculus, and I've carried that same versatility into my tutoring work. My goal is always to break down difficult concepts into clear, understandable lessons while keeping students engaged, confident, and never overwhelmed. Beyond teaching content, I focus on building strong connections with my students. I believe that when a student feels comfortable asking questions and isn't afraid to say, "I don't understand," real learning happens. I create a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere that fosters curiosity and growth. Over time, I've also developed a wealth of test-taking strategies, which I share as needed to help students manage anxiety and approach exams with confidence. The greatest reward for me is seeing my students succeednot just in mastering the material, but in gaining confidence in themselves as learners. Many of my students have told me how much easier math feels after working together, and I'm proud to have earned nearly perfect ratings throughout my years of tutoring. At the heart of everything I do is a love of learning and a passion for helping others discover it too. Tutoring is not just my profession it's my calling, and I am grateful for every opportunity to make a difference in a student's academic journey.

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.

I am listening to and learning about him or her as an individual. I can also discover what motivates the student during this conversation and plan for how to frame future tutoring sessions in terms of what the student already knows and enjoys.

The PRAXIS tests future teachers on both content mastery and pedagogical reasoning, and Peter has lived both sides — he holds a master's in English Education and a journalism degree that sharpens his reading and writing instruction. He digs into the constructed-response sections especially, teaching test-takers how to structure answers that hit every scoring rubric criterion.

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.

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.

Holding teaching certifications in six different content areas, Ariana has personally navigated the PRAXIS testing process more than most educators ever will. She understands how each exam is structured — from the constructed-response scoring rubrics to the way questions test pedagogical knowledge alongside content mastery. That firsthand experience across English, social studies, French, psychology, health, and music makes her unusually versatile for candidates preparing for multiple PRAXIS exams.

Robin's biology and medical background covers a significant chunk of the Praxis content knowledge sections, especially for candidates sitting for science-related subtests where cell biology, anatomy, and physiology questions dominate. She also teaches across reading, writing, and math — useful for the Core Academic Skills exam — and approaches each content domain by diagnosing weak spots first, then drilling those areas with timed practice. Rated 5.0 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 have been coaching students to their best performance in math for seven years. I am fluent in all levels of math, primary, secondary, and freshman/sophomore university level. I am also fluent with the mathematics which one may find on the ACT, SAT, GRE, ASVAB, CLEP test and most standardized test. My background in Engineering also gives me a level of confidence with computer science and general sciences such as physics and chemistry. I have over a year of study in each myself. Overall, I have had much success working with students in various languages and levels of computer programming.

Having gone through the teacher certification process herself with a degree in Music Education, Kate knows the PRAXIS inside out — from the Core Academic Skills tests in reading, writing, and math to the subject-specific content exams.
