Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS Art exam (5401) assesses knowledge across art history, aesthetics, art criticism, and studio practices. The test covers major artistic movements and periods, understanding of visual elements and principles of design, ability to analyze and interpret artworks, and knowledge of contemporary art issues and practices.
A tutor can help you focus on the specific content areas where you need the most support, whether that's strengthening your art history foundation, mastering visual analysis techniques, or deepening your understanding of art pedagogy and classroom applications.
Personalized tutoring provides targeted feedback on your specific weaknesses rather than generic test prep. A tutor can identify whether you're struggling with visual analysis skills, art historical knowledge, or test-taking strategy—and create a customized study plan accordingly.
Unlike solo study, personalized instruction allows you to ask questions in real-time, engage in discussion about complex artworks and movements, and receive guidance on how to approach multi-part exam questions. This interactive approach typically leads to faster improvement and deeper comprehension than independent study alone.
An effective PRAXIS Art tutor should have strong knowledge of art history, contemporary art practices, and the exam format itself. They should be able to explain visual concepts clearly and help you develop analytical skills for interpreting unfamiliar artworks on test day.
Look for someone who understands the pedagogical component of the exam and can discuss how art concepts apply to classroom teaching. Experience preparing other candidates for the PRAXIS Art exam is valuable, as is the ability to adapt explanations to your learning style and identify your specific knowledge gaps.
Most candidates benefit from 4-12 weeks of focused preparation, depending on their art background and starting knowledge level. Someone with a degree in art or art education may need less prep time, while those with limited formal art training typically need more time to build foundational knowledge in art history and criticism.
Personalized tutoring can accelerate your progress by concentrating study time on the content you find most challenging rather than reviewing material you already know well. Even candidates who studied art extensively can benefit from structured test prep focused specifically on the PRAXIS format and the types of visual analysis questions you'll encounter.
Many test-takers struggle with the breadth of art history content—trying to memorize every movement and artist rather than understanding overarching themes and connections. Others find the visual analysis section challenging because it requires both knowledge of specific artworks and the ability to analyze unfamiliar pieces using design principles and critical thinking.
Additionally, some candidates underestimate the pedagogy component, which asks how art concepts and practices apply to teaching K-12 students. A tutor can help you develop efficient study strategies for art history, strengthen your visual literacy skills, and ensure you understand the educational applications expected on the exam.
Yes—many successful PRAXIS Art test-takers don't have memorized every artwork or artist. Instead, they understand key movements, artists, and periods, and can recognize stylistic characteristics and historical context. A tutor can help you build efficient knowledge frameworks rather than trying to memorize endless lists.
Personalized instruction allows you to focus on the periods and movements most heavily tested, identify patterns in art historical development, and develop strategies for analyzing unfamiliar artworks using visual elements and historical knowledge. This conceptual approach is far more effective for exam success than rote memorization.
Visual analysis is a learned skill that improves with practice and feedback. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach to analyzing artworks—identifying visual elements like color, line, and composition; recognizing stylistic characteristics; and connecting visual observations to historical context and artistic intent.
Regular practice analyzing diverse artworks across different periods and cultures, combined with tutor feedback on your analysis, builds confidence for test day. You'll learn to approach unfamiliar pieces with a structured methodology rather than relying on prior knowledge, which is essential since the exam includes contemporary works you may never have encountered.
