Mona's own academic path — a pharmacy degree followed by a master's in epidemiology — means she's deeply familiar with the content knowledge tested across Praxis subtests in math, science, and reading. She breaks down each section's question style so candidates know exactly what the scoring rubrics reward, not just what the right answer is.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
The PRAXIS tests future teachers on both content mastery and pedagogical reasoning, and Peter has lived both sides — he holds a master's in English Education and a journalism degree that sharpens his reading and writing instruction. He digs into the constructed-response sections especially, teaching test-takers how to structure answers that hit every scoring rubric criterion.
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.
Preparing for the Praxis means juggling content review with test strategy, and the balance shifts depending on which exam you're taking. As a high school teacher with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, Marion has been on both sides of the certification process and knows which content areas the exams weight most heavily. She zeroes in on the pedagogy and subject-knowledge questions that trip up first-time test-takers.
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.
Having gone through teacher licensure at Vanderbilt herself, Karen knows the PRAXIS inside and out — not just the content, but the particular way questions are framed to test pedagogical reasoning. She breaks down each section's expectations so candidates spend their prep time on what the exam actually rewards.
Preparing for the Praxis means knowing not just content but how ETS frames its questions — the difference between a correct answer and the best answer. Meaghan is completing her own teacher licensure in Missouri and Kansas and understands the exam's structure from the inside, particularly the Core Academic Skills and subject-specific education modules.
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.
I have over 9 years of experience tutoring students preparing for teacher certification exams and hold degrees in English and Education, as well as a technical writing certification. I enjoy helping students strengthen their reading comprehension so they can break down test questions and avoid common multiple-choice mistakes. I also guide students in using exam specifications to study strategically and focus on what is most likely to appear on the test. My goal is to help every student feel confident, prepared, and calm on test day. I would love to help you achieve success.
Passing the PRAXIS requires more than content knowledge — it tests how well candidates can apply pedagogy to realistic classroom scenarios. Lovepreet earned both a Bachelor's and Master's in Education on top of her science degrees, so she understands the intersection of subject-matter depth and instructional strategy that PRAXIS examiners are looking for.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS is a standardized assessment used by many states to evaluate teaching knowledge and subject-matter expertise for educator certification. If you're pursuing a teaching career in New York or planning to teach in another state, you'll likely need to pass a PRAXIS exam in your subject area. There are three main categories: PRAXIS Core (basic skills), subject assessments (like PRAXIS Mathematics or PRAXIS English Language Arts), and Praxis Subject Assessments for specific grade levels and disciplines.
Your first session is designed to assess your current strengths and identify areas where you need the most support. A tutor will review your background, discuss your target PRAXIS exam, and likely administer a diagnostic test or practice questions to pinpoint gaps in content knowledge or test-taking strategy. This foundation allows your tutor to create a personalized study plan tailored to your specific needs and timeline.
Many test-takers struggle with time management during the exam, content gaps in their subject area, and test anxiety. Others find it difficult to distinguish between surface-level understanding and the depth of knowledge PRAXIS requires. Additionally, balancing PRAXIS prep with teaching responsibilities or other commitments can be overwhelming. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by focusing on your specific weak areas, building confidence through targeted practice, and developing test-taking strategies that work for your learning style.
Group test prep courses follow a set curriculum for everyone, but personalized tutoring adapts entirely to your needs. A tutor can spend extra time on the content areas where you struggle most, skip topics you've already mastered, and adjust teaching methods to match how you learn best. This targeted approach typically leads to faster improvement and higher confidence, since you're not sitting through material you don't need or moving too quickly through concepts you need to solidify.
Preparation timelines vary based on your current knowledge, the specific PRAXIS exam you're taking, and how frequently you meet with a tutor. Some students are ready in 6-8 weeks with 2-3 sessions per week, while others benefit from a longer timeline of 12-16 weeks. Your tutor will assess your starting point in the first session and give you a realistic estimate based on your goals and availability. Consistent practice between sessions is key to accelerating progress.
PRAXIS tutoring covers the specific content required by your exam—whether that's elementary education, secondary subject matter, or specialty areas like special education or English as a Second Language. Sessions focus on deepening your subject knowledge, understanding how concepts connect, and learning how PRAXIS tests that knowledge. Tutors also teach test-taking strategies like managing time, eliminating wrong answers, and recognizing common question patterns.
Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who specialize in PRAXIS preparation for students in Queens. When you get matched with a tutor, you'll work with someone who understands your specific exam, has a track record of helping students succeed, and can teach in a way that fits your learning style. You can discuss your goals and preferences upfront to ensure a great fit.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort, but students who work consistently with a tutor often see meaningful gains. Many students report feeling significantly more confident about the content and test-taking strategies, which translates to better performance on test day. Your tutor will help you track progress through practice tests and targeted drills, so you'll have concrete evidence of improvement as you prepare.
