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.

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 standardized assessment required by Virginia for teacher certification across multiple subject areas. Depending on your certification goal, you may need to take content-specific PRAXIS exams (like PRAXIS Mathematics, English Language Arts, or Science) plus the PRAXIS Core Academic Skills for Educators (CORE) exam, which covers reading, writing, and math fundamentals. Virginia Beach educators and aspiring teachers should verify specific exam requirements with the Virginia Department of Education.

Virginia Beach has 123 schools across 2 districts, and classroom environments often have limited time for individualized test prep—the average student-teacher ratio is 14.3:1. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows you to focus on your specific weak areas, whether that's content mastery or test-taking strategy, at your own pace. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand Virginia's certification requirements and can tailor preparation to your goals.

Many test-takers struggle with time management—PRAXIS exams require you to answer multiple-choice questions and sometimes constructed-response items within strict time limits. Content gaps in specific subject areas (particularly in math and science) are also common, as are test anxiety and unfamiliarity with the exam format. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by building content knowledge, teaching strategic approaches to different question types, and providing practice under timed conditions.

PRAXIS prep goes beyond teaching subject content—it focuses on the specific knowledge and skills Virginia's certification standards require, along with test-taking strategies optimized for the exam format. A tutor experienced in PRAXIS preparation knows which topics are heavily tested, how questions are typically worded, and which areas trip up most test-takers. This targeted approach means your study time is spent on what actually matters for your score.

Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment to identify your current strengths and knowledge gaps across the exam's content areas. The tutor will discuss your certification goals, review your background in the subject, and create a personalized study plan with realistic timelines and milestones. This foundation ensures every subsequent session builds directly toward your target score.

Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of consistent tutoring, depending on their starting point and target score, though this varies based on your specific needs. If you have significant content gaps, you may need longer; if you're refining test strategy and polishing skills, you might see results faster. Regular practice between sessions and consistent effort are key—many students see measurable score improvements within 6-8 weeks of focused preparation.

Look for tutors who have passed the PRAXIS exam themselves, hold relevant teaching certifications, or have extensive experience preparing students for the exam. They should understand Virginia's specific certification pathways and be familiar with the current exam format and content standards. When you connect with a tutor through Varsity Tutors, you can discuss their background and verify they have the expertise your preparation requires.

Effective PRAXIS prep combines content review with practice testing and timed practice under exam conditions. Spaced repetition—reviewing material multiple times over weeks rather than cramming—helps solidify knowledge. Your tutor can guide you through official PRAXIS practice materials, help you analyze mistakes to identify patterns, and teach strategies for managing test anxiety and pacing. The goal is building both deep content knowledge and exam-day confidence.
