Leann
MED University of South Florida-Main Campus • MED Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Megan
Current Undergrad, Speech Language Pathology Northeastern University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS is a series of standardized tests required for teacher certification in Florida and most other states. Depending on your certification path, you may need to take content-specific exams (like PRAXIS Subject Assessments for math, science, or English) and the PRAXIS Core Academic Skills for Educators (CASE) exam, which measures reading, writing, and math fundamentals. Passing scores are mandatory before you can earn your teaching license in Florida.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction focuses on your specific weak areas rather than generic test prep—whether that's mastering content knowledge, improving test-taking strategies, or building confidence under timed conditions. A tutor can identify gaps in your subject matter understanding, provide targeted practice on question types you struggle with, and adapt the pace to your learning style, which classroom-based prep courses often can't do. This targeted approach typically leads to faster improvement and stronger exam performance.

Varsity Tutors connects test-takers with tutors across all major PRAXIS exams, including the PRAXIS Core (reading, writing, and math), subject-specific content assessments (math, science, English language arts, social studies, and more), and specialty exams like PRAXIS English as a Second Language and special education certifications. Whether you're pursuing elementary education, secondary subject certification, or specialized teaching credentials, expert tutors can support your preparation.

Many test-takers struggle with time management—balancing exam prep while working or completing education coursework—and with content gaps, especially in math or specific subject areas they haven't studied in years. Others find the exam's question formats and reasoning demands different from typical classroom tests, or they experience test anxiety that impacts performance despite knowing the material. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges directly by building content confidence, teaching strategic approaches to difficult question types, and providing practice in realistic testing conditions.

Your initial session focuses on understanding your background, goals, and specific areas of concern. Your tutor will likely review your practice test results (if available), assess your strengths and gaps in the relevant content areas, and discuss your timeline and target score. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that prioritizes the topics and skills most important for your success on the PRAXIS.

Preparation timelines vary based on your starting point, target score, and how frequently you meet with a tutor. Many test-takers see meaningful improvement with 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring (1-2 sessions per week), though some benefit from longer preparation if they have significant content gaps. Your tutor will help set realistic milestones and adjust the pace based on your progress and practice test scores.

Expert tutors working with Varsity Tutors have deep knowledge of PRAXIS content and exam structure—many have teaching credentials, advanced subject-matter expertise, or extensive test prep experience. They understand Florida's certification requirements and can guide you through both the content mastery and test strategy needed to pass. When you connect with a tutor, you can review their background and experience to ensure they're the right fit for your needs.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and let us know which PRAXIS exam you're preparing for and your timeline. We'll match you with an expert tutor who fits your needs and schedule. From there, you'll have a personalized plan tailored to your goals, and you can begin your preparation with flexible scheduling that works around your other commitments.
