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.

Preparing for the Praxis means knowing not just content but how ETS frames its questions — the difference between a correct answer and the best answer. Meaghan is completing her own teacher licensure in Missouri and Kansas and understands the exam's structure from the inside, particularly the Core Academic Skills and subject-specific education modules.

Andrea's ESL/TESOL certification and dual background in English Literature and Arabic make her especially useful for Praxis Core candidates who need intensive help with the reading and writing sections — she teaches language structure at a granular level. Her experience working with immigrant students adapting to U.S. curricula also means she understands the pedagogical reasoning questions that show up on education-focused subtests.

As a licensed secondary education teacher who has navigated the certification process himself, Lee knows the PRAXIS inside and out — both the content knowledge sections and the timed, multiple-choice format that catches many test-takers off guard. He builds targeted review plans based on diagnostic results so candidates spend their prep time on actual weak spots rather than re-studying material they already know.

Having earned credentials in special education, ESL, and educational leadership herself, Megan knows the Praxis exams from the test-taker's side — not just as an abstract prep exercise. She covers Core Reading, Core Writing, Special Education, Early Childhood, Elementary, and English Praxis tests, breaking down both the content knowledge and the question formats that trip up aspiring teachers. Her approach zeroes in on constructed-response strategies and the specific pedagogical frameworks ETS expects candidates to demonstrate.

Passing the PRAXIS means knowing not just your content area but how to navigate the test's specific question formats and time constraints. Nicole tackled the PRAXIS herself on the way to earning her M.A. in Teaching from Western Kentucky University, so she can walk candidates through both the content review and the test-day strategy that makes a difference.

Having gone through teacher licensure at Vanderbilt herself, Karen knows the PRAXIS inside and out — not just the content, but the particular way questions are framed to test pedagogical reasoning. She breaks down each section's expectations so candidates spend their prep time on what the exam actually rewards.

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.

The PRAXIS covers a lot of ground, and Erin's own education background gives her firsthand familiarity with the pedagogy and content knowledge the exam tests. She zeroes in on the areas where a student's practice scores are weakest — whether that's reading comprehension, math reasoning, or writing — and builds targeted review sessions around those gaps.

Passing the PRAXIS requires more than content knowledge — it tests how well candidates can apply pedagogy to realistic classroom scenarios. Lovepreet earned both a Bachelor's and Master's in Education on top of her science degrees, so she understands the intersection of subject-matter depth and instructional strategy that PRAXIS examiners are looking for.

Scoring a 33 on the ACT gave Kjirsten firsthand experience with the kind of timed, high-stakes testing the PRAXIS demands. She breaks down each section's question patterns and teaches targeted strategies for eliminating answer choices under time pressure. Her own successful PRAXIS preparation means she knows exactly where education candidates tend to lose points.

I am a seasoned educator with over 14 years of teaching experience. I currently am a middle school principal but have taught grades 3-college. I am no stranger to Common Core and can help students master material with tried and true strategies!

Certified in Math 7-12 in Connecticut, David has been through the Praxis gauntlet himself and knows which content areas carry the most weight on test day. He takes a strategic approach: identifying the specific subtests and question types a student struggles with, then drilling those areas with targeted practice rather than broad review. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that focused method works under real testing conditions.
