Jessica

College Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects

I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.

Jeffrey

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.

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.

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.
