Leighanna
BA Hanover College

Ten years ago, I started as an elementary substitute while attending Hanover College. As my interests in the education field changed and progressed, my philosophy stayed the same; education is something that can happen anywhere, not just in the traditional classroom. I went on to gain a Master's in School Librarianship & Facilitated Learning from Indiana University-Indianapolis. During this time I had started actually teaching, first with library sciences, elementary technology, elementary science, and tutoring. Over the past six years, I have tutored; homework help, organization, special education, exam reteaching, and mentoring for students from 3rd grade through adults taking professional licensing exams (ie. PRAXIS). While things have changed, my passion is still finding what a student needs for their best learning possible, and adapting content to work with them. My philosophy is simply that I think everyone can learn, sometimes we just have to look at the education differently.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS is a series of standardized tests administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) that assess subject matter knowledge and teaching skills for educators. In New York State, prospective teachers must pass PRAXIS exams in their subject area and the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) exam as part of teacher certification requirements. The specific PRAXIS tests you'll need depend on your intended grade level and subject area.

Buffalo's 24 school districts and 98 schools serve over 45,000 students, creating strong demand for certified teachers across diverse subject areas. Passing the PRAXIS on your first attempt is essential to meet New York's certification timeline and begin your teaching career without delays. Personalized tutoring helps you focus on the specific content and test-taking strategies most relevant to your subject, increasing your chances of success.

Many test-takers struggle with managing the breadth of content covered—PRAXIS exams test deep subject knowledge across multiple topics that may not have been fresh in your mind since college. Time management during the exam is another frequent challenge, as is translating subject expertise into test-taking strategy. Personalized instruction allows you to identify your specific weak areas and develop targeted strategies rather than reviewing material you already know well.

One-on-one tutoring focuses entirely on your individual needs—whether that's filling content gaps, building test-taking confidence, or refining time management. A tutor can adapt pacing and teaching style to match how you learn best, rather than following a fixed curriculum. This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress and higher confidence going into test day compared to generic study materials.

Your first session will focus on assessment and planning. A tutor will discuss your subject area, review your background knowledge, understand your timeline, and identify your specific strengths and gaps. You may take a diagnostic practice test or review sample questions to pinpoint areas needing the most attention, allowing your tutor to create a personalized study plan tailored to your goals.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in your particular PRAXIS exam—whether that's Mathematics, Science, English Language Arts, Social Studies, or other subject areas. Subject-specific expertise is crucial because PRAXIS exams test both content mastery and the pedagogical knowledge needed to teach that content effectively to students.

Results depend on your starting point and exam date, but most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of consistent preparation with personalized tutoring. If you're starting further in advance, you have more flexibility to build knowledge systematically. Your tutor will help you set realistic milestones and adjust the pace based on practice test scores and your progress toward your target score.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who match your subject area and availability. Simply let us know your PRAXIS exam focus, timeline, and preferred schedule, and we'll match you with a qualified tutor. You can start with an initial consultation to ensure the fit is right before committing to a full tutoring plan.
