Leann
MED University of South Florida-Main Campus • MED Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS is a standardized test required for teacher certification in California and most other states. Depending on your certification goal, you may take the PRAXIS Content Knowledge exam (testing subject-matter expertise), the PRAXIS Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) exam, or both. For students in Murrieta preparing to enter the teaching profession, understanding which PRAXIS exams align with your certification path is the first step toward success.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific knowledge gaps and focus intensively on the content areas where you need the most support, rather than covering material at a classroom pace. Research on learning shows that individualized attention significantly improves retention and test performance. Tutors can also tailor study strategies to your learning style, whether you're stronger with visual explanations, practice problems, or conceptual discussions.

Many test-takers struggle with balancing content knowledge across multiple subjects, managing test anxiety, and mastering the specific question formats used on PRAXIS exams. Additionally, the PLT section requires understanding of educational theory and classroom management—topics that benefit greatly from guided practice and real-world context. Tutors can help you build confidence by breaking down complex topics and providing targeted practice with actual PRAXIS-style questions.

During an initial session, a tutor will assess your current knowledge, discuss your certification goals, and identify which PRAXIS content areas need the most attention. You'll likely take a diagnostic practice test or review sample questions to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized study plan tailored to your timeline and learning needs.

Score improvement depends on your starting point, the specific PRAXIS exams you're taking, and your commitment to practice between sessions. Students who work consistently with a tutor and complete assigned practice problems typically see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks. The key is targeted, deliberate practice on the exact content and question types that appear on your exam.

Look for tutors who have passed the specific PRAXIS exams they're helping you prepare for, have teaching experience or education credentials, and understand both the content and the test format deeply. Ideally, they should be familiar with California's teacher certification requirements and able to explain educational concepts clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who meet these standards and can provide evidence-based test prep strategies.

Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation, meeting with a tutor 1-2 times per week depending on their baseline knowledge and target score. Your timeline may be shorter if you have strong content knowledge already, or longer if you're preparing for multiple PRAXIS exams. A tutor can help you create a realistic schedule based on your current readiness and certification deadline.

Yes. Whether you're preparing for PRAXIS Content Knowledge in math, science, English language arts, social studies, or another subject, Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in your certification area. Subject-specific expertise ensures your tutor can address the exact content standards and question types you'll encounter on your exam.
