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.

Megan
Current Undergrad, Speech Language Pathology Northeastern University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS is a standardized assessment used to evaluate teaching knowledge and skills for educators entering the profession. Depending on your state certification requirements and teaching subject, you may need to pass one or more PRAXIS exams—such as the PRAXIS Core (reading, writing, math fundamentals), subject-specific content exams, or the PRAXIS Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT). New York State requires specific PRAXIS exams for teacher certification, so it's important to confirm which tests apply to your certification path.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on your specific weak areas rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. A tutor can help you understand complex educational concepts, develop test-taking strategies, practice with realistic exam questions, and build confidence in areas where you struggle most. This targeted approach is particularly valuable for PRAXIS preparation, where content spans multiple disciplines and requires both deep subject knowledge and pedagogical understanding.

Your first session typically involves an assessment of your current knowledge, understanding your target PRAXIS exam(s), and identifying your strengths and areas for improvement. The tutor will discuss your teaching background, certification goals, and any specific content areas causing concern. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that outlines which topics to focus on and how to structure your preparation over the coming weeks or months.

Many aspiring teachers find the PRAXIS Core math section demanding, particularly algebra and quantitative reasoning. Subject-specific content exams also challenge test-takers who haven't studied their subject area recently or need to refresh foundational knowledge. The PLT exam requires understanding of educational psychology, classroom management, and assessment—concepts that benefit greatly from real-world teaching context and personalized explanation rather than self-study alone.

Most educators benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though your timeline depends on your background and which exam you're taking. If you're strong in your subject area but weak in test-taking strategy, you might need less time. If you're returning to academics after years away or tackling an unfamiliar subject, longer preparation is wise. A tutor can assess your baseline and recommend a realistic study schedule tailored to your situation and exam date.

In a classroom setting, instruction moves at a fixed pace and covers material for everyone equally—even topics you've already mastered. With personalized tutoring, you focus exclusively on what you need to learn, skip what you already know, and spend extra time on challenging concepts. A tutor can also adapt their teaching style to how you learn best, whether that's through visual explanations, practice problems, discussion, or real-world examples relevant to your teaching goals.

Look for tutors with teaching certification or advanced degrees in your subject area, proven success helping students pass PRAXIS exams, and familiarity with New York State certification requirements. Ideally, they have classroom teaching experience so they understand not just the content but how it applies to real teaching practice. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with tutors whose background aligns with your specific exam and goals.

Score improvement varies based on your starting point, the time you invest, and how actively you engage with your tutor's guidance. Many test-takers see meaningful gains—sometimes 50-100+ points—when they work with a tutor to target their specific weak areas and practice with realistic exam questions. Consistent effort between sessions is key; tutoring is most effective when combined with your own practice and review of the material covered.
