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.
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.
I am an experienced educator with a strong background in biology, general science, and core academic subjects across elementary, middle, and high school levels. I specialize in helping students build confidence while mastering challenging material. I am approved to tutor all elementary and middle school core subjects, as well as high school science, English, and writing. I also provide targeted test preparation for the ACT, GED, ISEE, PSAT, SSAT, and TACHS, focusing on both content mastery and effective test-taking strategies. My teaching style is student-centered and adaptable. I tailor each session to the learner's needs, using clear explanations, guided practice, and structured support to break down complex concepts. I also create a positive, low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing. My goal is to help students improve academically while becoming more confident, independent learners.
Mona's own academic path — a pharmacy degree followed by a master's in epidemiology — means she's deeply familiar with the content knowledge tested across Praxis subtests in math, science, and reading. She breaks down each section's question style so candidates know exactly what the scoring rubrics reward, not just what the right answer is.
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.
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.
I am an educator of the sciences. I have taught Life Science, Biology, Physical and Earth Sciences for fourteen years in grades 7-12. I trained with the Keystone Science School of Denver, Colorado, the LSU Coastal Roots Program and have earned over six hundred hours in science literacy training in many areas. Science has a very strong mathematical component and that is why I also specialize in Math tutoring.
As a certified social studies teacher who passed her own Praxis exams, Michelle knows firsthand what the test demands — from content-area knowledge to the constructed-response questions that catch many candidates off guard. She walks test-takers through targeted review strategies and practice question analysis tailored to their specific Praxis subject area.
Holding a master's in Urban Education and Leadership, Bryson has been through the PRAXIS gauntlet himself and understands how the exam tests pedagogical reasoning alongside content knowledge. He breaks down each section's question patterns — from interpreting data in the math core to analyzing arguments in the reading and writing portions — so test-takers walk in knowing exactly what to expect.
Gabriela has run PRAXIS Core boot camps covering all three sections — Math, Reading, and Writing — so she knows exactly where aspiring teachers tend to lose points. Her Master's in Math Education and classroom teaching background mean she isn't just prepping someone for a test; she's coaching a future colleague through the specific question formats, time management traps, and content gaps that trip up education majors most often.
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.
I have over 9 years of experience tutoring students preparing for teacher certification exams and hold degrees in English and Education, as well as a technical writing certification. I enjoy helping students strengthen their reading comprehension so they can break down test questions and avoid common multiple-choice mistakes. I also guide students in using exam specifications to study strategically and focus on what is most likely to appear on the test. My goal is to help every student feel confident, prepared, and calm on test day. I would love to help you achieve success.
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.

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.
