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.

He builds targeted review plans based on diagnostic results so candidates spend their prep time on actual weak spots rather than re-studying material they already know.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS is a series of standardized tests used to assess subject matter knowledge and teaching skills for educator certification. In California, teacher candidates typically take PRAXIS exams in their subject area (like Mathematics, English Language Arts, or Science) before obtaining their teaching credential. The specific test you need depends on your intended grade level and subject.

Sacramento's 27 school districts employ thousands of teachers, and passing the PRAXIS is a requirement for credential programs and employment in California schools. With a 22.5:1 student-teacher ratio across the district, schools are actively recruiting qualified educators—and strong PRAXIS performance demonstrates your subject mastery to hiring committees and credential programs.

Many test-takers struggle with the breadth of content coverage, time management during the exam, and translating content knowledge into pedagogical understanding (knowing how to teach the material, not just knowing it). Additionally, balancing PRAXIS prep with coursework or full-time teaching responsibilities can be overwhelming without structured support.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific knowledge gaps, focus on high-impact content areas, and teach test-taking strategies tailored to your learning style. Rather than generic test prep, you get targeted practice on weak topics and feedback on practice questions—research shows this focused approach leads to faster improvement than self-study alone.

Your first session typically involves an assessment of your current knowledge, understanding your target PRAXIS exam and timeline, and identifying your strongest and weakest content areas. This diagnostic helps your tutor create a personalized study plan focused on maximizing your score within your timeframe.

Score improvement varies based on your starting point, target score, and how consistently you engage with tutoring and practice. Students typically see measurable gains within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation, especially when combining personalized instruction with regular practice testing and review of missed questions.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have deep subject matter expertise, often including teaching experience, advanced degrees, or proven success helping other candidates pass their PRAXIS exams. Each tutor is selected based on their knowledge of both content and test-specific strategies.
