Award-Winning PRAXIS Courses & Classes in Richmond, VA

If you feel like your test prep could use a boost, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a thorough Richmond Praxis prep course to help you practice the academic skills and test-taking strategies you'll want to know on exam day. The Praxis tests are written to assess whether a teaching candidate has the academic skill set and general teaching knowledge expected of a professional classroom instructor. Your state's guidelines and what you plan to teach determine both how many and which Praxis exams you might need to take.

Some of the Praxis tests include "Core" exams in Mathematics, Writing, and Reading; "Subject Assessments" covering topics specific to high school classes such as Biology I or American History; and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) tests that assess your pedagogical knowledge of the age group you hope to work with. Varsity Tutors can help you prepare for any of these exams, so reach out by phone or online today to learn more about how we might be able to assist you.

What content areas can I review in a formal Richmond Praxis course?

What you cover in a Richmond Praxis class is dictated by the test or tests you need to take. For example, you might need to take a World History Praxis Subject Assessment in order to earn a Social Studies teaching credential even if your passion is U.S. History. In this scenario, you might study the significance of ancient cultures such as Greece and Egypt, the dawn of Western civilization, how political alliances caused World War I, and the Cold War period. In contrast, a student studying for the Core Mathematics Praxis would study a completely different set of topics.

You might also review each exam's formatting in a Richmond Praxis class. Most Praxis tests are digital, so your instructor could administer practice exams to give you a sense of what the interface might be like on test day. Similarly, experiencing the time available to you firsthand can be one of the most effective ways to learn how to budget it. Best of all, practice exams can give you an idea of how a particular exam words questions, making it easier to identify important keywords like "not" and "except."

What benefits can I get out of taking a Richmond Praxis course?

Every course we offer is led by a knowledgeable instructor who has undergone a thorough vetting process, so you can trust that all of the information you receive is accurate and up-to-date. If you have a question, our exclusive Live Learning Platform supports video chat so that all you have to do is raise your hand.

Our Live Learning Platform is also mobile-friendly, allowing you to attend a class while you're at a local university such as Virginia Commonwealth University or The University of Richmond just as easily as you could from home. You're not compromising study efficacy for this convenience either, as powerful features such as a virtual whiteboard create an in-person learning experience without the corresponding logistical nightmare.

Every class also provides a collaborative learning environment where many students find it easier to reach for educational success. You can take turns teaching different concepts to each other, improving your practical teaching skills while also furthering your understanding of challenging Praxis concepts. One of your new peers may also know great memorization techniques you can use to remember abstract points such as the life processes or various literary devices. Since you're interested in entering the teaching profession, you may be able to teach your future students some of the same tips you learned while studying for the Praxis.

Studying in a group also gives you more value for your money, as you can work with an expert instructor without absorbing the entire cost yourself. If you feel like individualized attention could help you overcome a particular learning obstacle, you may also arrange private study sessions with your instructor on an as-needed basis for some extra help.

We also try to accommodate your busy schedule when designing our services. For instance, we offer several courses concurrently to make it easier to find one that works for you. New classes also start monthly, so you don't have to wait too long before deciding that you want to take a class and actually taking one.
