Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Liz
MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS Content Exam for Mathematics covers a broad range of topics aligned with secondary mathematics curricula, including:

  • Number and quantity (integers, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers)
  • Algebra (equations, inequalities, functions, polynomials)
  • Functions and calculus concepts (limits, derivatives, integrals)
  • Geometry and measurement (shapes, proofs, trigonometry)
  • Data analysis, probability, and statistics
  • Mathematical reasoning and problem-solving across all domains

A tutor can help you identify which topics need the most attention and develop strategies to master both procedural skills and conceptual understanding required for success.

Many test-takers can follow steps but struggle to explain why those steps work or apply them in new contexts. Tutors help bridge this gap by asking guiding questions that reveal underlying patterns and connections—like why the quadratic formula works, not just how to use it. This deeper conceptual understanding is exactly what the PRAXIS exam tests, especially in multi-step problems and proof-based questions. Working through problems together, a tutor can help you see the "why" behind the math, which builds both confidence and flexibility when tackling unfamiliar problems.

An effective PRAXIS tutor should have strong mathematics knowledge and experience preparing educators for content exams. Look for someone who can explain concepts clearly from multiple angles, is patient with math anxiety, and focuses on problem-solving strategies rather than just memorizing formulas. They should be able to help you understand not just what answer is correct, but why it's correct—and be comfortable with the full range of secondary math topics from algebra through calculus. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in PRAXIS preparation and bring real teaching experience.

Word problems and multi-step equations are where many students struggle because they require translating real-world situations into mathematical language and managing multiple operations. A tutor helps you develop a systematic approach: reading carefully, identifying what you know and what you're solving for, choosing appropriate strategies, and checking your work. Through practice with varied problem types, you'll recognize patterns and build confidence in your problem-solving process. Tutors also help you understand when different approaches make sense—for example, when graphing is more useful than algebraic manipulation—which strengthens both conceptual understanding and test performance.

Absolutely. Math anxiety is common among people preparing for content exams, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides a safe, judgment-free space to work through difficult concepts at your own pace. A tutor can help you break problems into manageable pieces, celebrate small wins, and gradually build confidence through repeated success. By focusing on understanding rather than perfection, and by helping you develop reliable problem-solving strategies, tutoring reduces the "what if I don't know?" worry. Many students find that seeing patterns and connections—and realizing they can solve complex problems—significantly reduces anxiety over time.

Effective PRAXIS preparation involves three key elements: reviewing the full range of topics, practicing with real exam-like questions, and developing strategies for managing your time and approach. Start by assessing which topics need the most work—algebra, geometry, or calculus concepts—then build from there. Practice testing helps you identify patterns in where you struggle and builds exam stamina. A tutor can create a personalized study plan, help you understand why you missed certain questions, and teach you strategic approaches to different problem types. Most importantly, they help you move beyond just knowing procedures to truly understanding the mathematics, which is what the PRAXIS exam assesses.

Preparation time varies based on your starting point and how much content you need to review. Someone with a strong math background might prepare in 4-8 weeks with focused study, while others benefit from 3-4 months to work through gaps and build confidence across all topics. The key is consistent, strategic preparation rather than cramming. Working with a tutor helps you use your time efficiently by targeting weak areas, learning efficient problem-solving strategies, and getting real-time feedback on your understanding. Your tutor can help you develop a realistic timeline based on your background and goals.
