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.

Blair earned her Master of Arts in Teaching from Johns Hopkins and has spent years in the classroom teaching high school ELA and AP US History — exactly the kind of real-world experience that makes Praxis content and pedagogy questions feel familiar rather than abstract. She walks test-takers through the reading, writing, and social studies sections with concrete strategies drawn from her own successful path through licensure.
I am a certified biology and social studies teacher for grades 7-12. My time teaching has been both rewarding and challenging. One of my focuses as a lead science teacher was to work with students on college readiness. From ACT prep to rigorous lab based science instruction, we saw students grow five points on the ACT and increased the pass rate on the state exam. As my time with Teach for America comes to an end, I am excited to continue my commitment to education with Varsity Tutors. Currently I am working on a Master’s in Public Health at Emory University.
Elizabeth's political science degree and 32 ACT give her strong footing in the reading, writing, and analytical reasoning domains that anchor the Praxis Core — and her broad teaching range across English, math, social studies, and grammar means she can pivot quickly between content areas during prep sessions. She zeroes in on the constructed-response sections where many candidates lose points by misreading what ETS's rubric actually rewards.
Certified in Math 7-12 in Connecticut, David has been through the Praxis gauntlet himself and knows which content areas carry the most weight on test day. He takes a strategic approach: identifying the specific subtests and question types a student struggles with, then drilling those areas with targeted practice rather than broad review. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that focused method works under real testing conditions.
A biology degree plus a 33 ACT and 1500 SAT mean Kaitlyn already has strong command of the science, math, and reading content that anchors the Praxis Core and many subject-area subtests. She teaches across all three core domains and uses her own test-taking instincts to show candidates how to read ETS question stems carefully and eliminate trap answers quickly. Rated 4.8 by students.
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.
Rachelle's decade-plus of tutoring experience spans elementary math through college-level writing, which maps neatly onto the broad content the PRAXIS exams cover. She approaches test prep by diagnosing exactly which content areas need reinforcement — whether that's algebraic reasoning, source analysis, or argumentative writing — and drilling those sections with targeted practice.
Erica has been through the PRAXIS process herself on the way to becoming a licensed speech-language pathologist, so she knows firsthand how the exam's structure and question style can trip up well-prepared candidates. She teaches targeted strategies for the reading, writing, and mathematics core sections, with particular attention to time management and eliminating answer choices under pressure.
I am a seasoned educator with over 14 years of teaching experience. I currently am a middle school principal but have taught grades 3-college. I am no stranger to Common Core and can help students master material with tried and true strategies!
Having earned credentials in special education, ESL, and educational leadership herself, Megan knows the Praxis exams from the test-taker's side — not just as an abstract prep exercise. She covers Core Reading, Core Writing, Special Education, Early Childhood, Elementary, and English Praxis tests, breaking down both the content knowledge and the question formats that trip up aspiring teachers. Her approach zeroes in on constructed-response strategies and the specific pedagogical frameworks ETS expects candidates to demonstrate.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS is a series of standardized tests required by Colorado for teacher licensure and certification. Depending on your certification area, you'll take content knowledge exams (like PRAXIS II) and pedagogy assessments. Colorado's Department of Education requires passing scores to teach in public schools, making PRAXIS preparation essential for anyone pursuing an education career in the state.
The most frequently taken PRAXIS exams in Colorado include content tests for elementary education, secondary subjects like English, math, science, and social studies, as well as the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) exam. With 18 school districts and over 116,000 students across Colorado Springs, demand is highest for math, science, and special education certifications, though requirements vary by district and grade level.
The PRAXIS combines deep subject-matter knowledge with pedagogical understanding—you need to know the content AND how to teach it effectively. Many test-takers struggle with time management, specific content gaps, or test-taking strategy. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction targets your exact weak areas, whether that's mastering specific content domains or learning strategies to approach complex questions confidently.
Your first session focuses on assessment and planning. A tutor will review your target PRAXIS exam, discuss your background knowledge, identify content gaps, and understand your timeline and goals. Together, you'll create a personalized study plan that prioritizes the areas where you need the most support, ensuring your preparation is efficient and targeted.
Most candidates benefit from 8-16 weeks of focused preparation, depending on their starting knowledge level and exam complexity. Content-heavy exams like PRAXIS II subject tests may require longer preparation than the PLT exam. Personalized tutoring accelerates progress by concentrating study time on your specific gaps rather than reviewing material you already know well.
Tutors use diagnostic assessments to pinpoint exactly which content standards or concepts you need to strengthen. Rather than generic test prep, personalized instruction rebuilds foundational understanding where needed and deepens mastery of complex topics. This targeted approach is especially valuable for educators returning to study after years away from coursework or transitioning between subject areas.
Yes. Beyond content review, tutors teach strategies for managing time across exam sections, interpreting question language, and avoiding common traps. You'll practice with real PRAXIS questions and full-length exams under timed conditions, building confidence and identifying patterns in how the test presents material. This combination of content mastery and strategic test-taking significantly improves performance.
