Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS Elementary School exam (5018) assesses your knowledge of foundational subjects you'll teach, including reading and language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. The test is designed to verify you have the content knowledge needed to effectively instruct elementary-level students across these core areas.

Beyond content knowledge, the exam evaluates your understanding of pedagogical approaches, student development, and classroom management strategies. Success requires not just knowing the material, but understanding how to teach it to diverse learners in grades K-6.

Most test-takers find the mathematics and science sections particularly challenging, especially questions involving problem-solving strategies, data interpretation, and applied concepts rather than basic definitions. The reading and language arts section often trips up candidates unfamiliar with literacy instruction methods and assessment techniques.

Another common challenge is time management—the exam covers broad content across multiple subjects, so many candidates struggle to balance depth of preparation with breadth. Personalized tutoring helps you identify your specific weak areas and develop targeted strategies rather than spending equal time on every topic.

A tutor can diagnose exactly where your knowledge gaps are—whether that's fraction concepts in math, scientific reasoning, or grammar instruction methods—rather than having you study everything equally. They adapt explanations to your learning style and focus your study time on what will actually move your score forward.

Tutors also provide test-specific strategies, help you practice with authentic exam questions and timing, and give you immediate feedback on your reasoning. This targeted approach typically leads to faster improvement than generic study guides, since you're not wasting time on material you already know well.

PRAXIS Elementary School uses a scale of 100-200, with passing scores varying by state (typically 155-160, though some states require higher). Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand these state-specific requirements and can tailor preparation accordingly.

A tutor helps you identify realistic target scores based on your starting point, then builds a focused study plan around high-impact content areas. They'll help you understand not just what the right answers are, but why they're correct—the depth of understanding that translates to test success.

The best tutors have strong content knowledge across all tested subjects and, ideally, experience teaching elementary students or preparing others for teaching certification. They understand how to break down complex concepts into digestible pieces and can explain the same idea in multiple ways if your first understanding doesn't stick.

Equally important is their ability to teach like a teacher—not just answer questions, but model good explanations and help you develop strategies for tackling unfamiliar problems on test day. They should also be familiar with the specific PRAXIS format, common misconceptions test-takers have, and how to manage test anxiety during high-stakes preparation.

Preparation timelines vary based on your starting content knowledge and target score, but many candidates benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused study with regular tutoring sessions. If you're teaching in one subject area already, you may need less time; if you're starting from limited content background, more preparation may be beneficial.

Your tutor will help you create a realistic timeline based on a diagnostic assessment of your knowledge. Even intensive preparation requires time for material to stick, so planning ahead rather than cramming closer to your test date leads to stronger performance.

Rather than studying each subject equally, focus on the exam's weighting: reading and language arts comprises roughly 40% of the test, mathematics about 25%, science about 20%, and social studies about 15%. A tutor helps you allocate study time strategically to match this distribution while still maintaining baseline competency across all areas.

They'll also teach you efficient ways to connect concepts across subjects—for example, understanding how to teach comparison and contrast in reading connects to analyzing scientific data or historical sources. This integrated approach deepens your understanding while covering more ground efficiently.
