Award-Winning PRAXIS Tutors
serving Virginia Beach, VA

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.

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.

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.

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.

Preparing for the Praxis means mastering both content knowledge and the specific way ETS frames questions, and Elizabeth's own path through education credentialing gives her firsthand familiarity with both sides. She zeroes in on the subtests a candidate actually needs — whether that's Core Academic Skills math or a content-area exam in biology or English — and builds practice around the question types that carry the most weight.

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.

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.

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.

Mati's background spans counseling, special education, and published writing — which means she's lived the content that shows up across multiple PRAXIS exams rather than just studying it for a test. She breaks down each section's question patterns and teaches targeted strategies for the selected-response and constructed-response formats that trip up most test-takers.

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. She breaks down the constructed-response questions and teaches time-management strategies that keep test anxiety from eating into scores.

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.

Jennifer's master's in Curriculum and Instruction makes her a natural fit for PRAXIS prep, since the exam tests exactly the kind of pedagogical knowledge and content literacy she studied in graduate school. She zeroes in on the reading, writing, and content-area subtests, breaking down question patterns and building familiarity with the specific way PRAXIS frames its prompts. Her 4.9 rating speaks to how well that targeted preparation translates to test day.

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.

Studying for the Praxis while also completing her own teaching program gives Ayesha a sharp, current perspective on what the exam actually tests — from reading and language arts pedagogy to mathematics content knowledge. She walks through each section's question logic and pinpoints the content gaps that cost the most points, so prep time is spent efficiently.
