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.

I am listening to and learning about him or her as an individual. I can also discover what motivates the student during this conversation and plan for how to frame future tutoring sessions in terms of what the student already knows and enjoys.
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.
The Praxis covers a wide range of content depending on the certification area, and Kiara's own teaching background means she knows firsthand what the exam is actually measuring. She builds review plans around each candidate's weakest content strands — whether that's reading pedagogy, math reasoning, or constructed-response writing — so study time targets the points that matter most.
Mati's background spans counseling, special education, and published writing — which means she's lived the content that shows up across multiple PRAXIS exams rather than just studying it for a test. She breaks down each section's question patterns and teaches targeted strategies for the selected-response and constructed-response formats that trip up most test-takers.
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.
As a licensed secondary education teacher who has navigated the certification process himself, Lee knows the PRAXIS inside and out — both the content knowledge sections and the timed, multiple-choice format that catches many test-takers off guard. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Studying for the Praxis while also completing her own teaching program gives Ayesha a sharp, current perspective on what the exam actually tests — from reading and language arts pedagogy to mathematics content knowledge. She walks through each section's question logic and pinpoints the content gaps that cost the most points, so prep time is spent efficiently.
Jennifer's social sciences degree and broad teaching range across reading, writing, math, and elementary content give her solid coverage of the Praxis Core Academic Skills domains — particularly the reading comprehension and essay sections where candidates often underestimate the scoring rubric. She walks test-takers through ETS's specific expectations for constructed responses and teaches them to budget time across question types so nothing gets rushed at the end. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am an experienced educator with a strong background in biology, general science, and core academic subjects across elementary, middle, and high school levels. I specialize in helping students build confidence while mastering challenging material. I am approved to tutor all elementary and middle school core subjects, as well as high school science, English, and writing. I also provide targeted test preparation for the ACT, GED, ISEE, PSAT, SSAT, and TACHS, focusing on both content mastery and effective test-taking strategies. My teaching style is student-centered and adaptable. I tailor each session to the learner's needs, using clear explanations, guided practice, and structured support to break down complex concepts. I also create a positive, low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing. My goal is to help students improve academically while becoming more confident, independent learners.
Studying for the Praxis while juggling coursework or a classroom placement is overwhelming, and Emma knows the experience firsthand — she cleared her Praxis exams on the way to earning her M.Ed. in elementary teaching. She breaks prep into manageable chunks across reading, writing, and math, identifying which content areas need the most attention so study time is actually efficient. Her familiarity with both the elementary education and core exams means she can tailor review to whichever Praxis test is coming up next.
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.
