Varsity Tutors is here to support prospective teachers with excellent Tulsa Praxis prep opportunities. The Praxis exams are used by many states and licensure programs as part of the process of becoming certified to teach. If you are required to take one of the Praxis exams, you'll want to do everything possible to prepare thoroughly so you can showcase your potential. If you are one of the many people who struggle with solo study techniques, you can benefit from taking a Praxis class or working with a private teacher. If you allow an experienced instructor to worry about the lesson plans and study schedule, you can spend more time working on learning and reviewing the actual content. This can help you to have more productive and efficient study sessions. If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of Tulsa Praxis prep, continue reading.
What topics and content can be covered during Tulsa Praxis prep?
The Praxis exam comes in two different categories.
One exam is the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core) Test. The Core Tests assess one's skills and knowledge of Mathematics, Writing, and Reading. If you're planning on entering a teacher prep program at a college or university such as The University of Tulsa or Oral Roberts University, you may need to take the Core tests. The three Core tests can be taken on the same day or can be taken at different times. To prepare, your Tulsa Praxis prep teacher can go over topics and skills you would have learned in algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability classes. You may also wish to review the integration of multiple documents, argumentative writing strategies, research skills, and the ability to accurately revise a text.
The second category is the Praxis Subjects Assessment. These assessments are offered in two versions: Subject Assessments and Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) Exams. The Subject Assessments evaluate your understanding of subjects that K-12 teachers will teach, as well as general and subject-specific teaching abilities and knowledge. The PLT exams come in four grade-level categories: Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9, and 7-12. To prepare for these tests, you'll want to review general pedagogical knowledge and skills. The tests all have a different time allowance and vary in length.
In addition to reviewing specific content, your instructor can work on test-taking skills. You may be able to participate in practice timed exams to help you get used to the type of environment you'll encounter on exam day. You can also receive tips or strategies about ways to reduce test-day jitters, which many people struggle with. These skills will not only help you with the Praxis exams, but with any future exam you may need to take.
What are the different benefits of either taking an online Tulsa Praxis prep course or being connected to a private instructor?
When you elect to sign up for our Tulsa Praxis prep class, you'll be able to attend your classes online using a unique learning platform. The virtual classroom is equipped with video chat capabilities and an online whiteboard. You'll be able to directly talk to, see, and hear your teacher during class sessions. You can also interact with your classmates using the platform. You can have opportunities to work on skills with your peers during group projects or activities. During discussions with your teacher and peers, you can gain insight into new ideas and teaching methods. Working collaboratively can help you with memory retention and make your classes more enjoyable. This is an excellent opportunity for learners who enjoy a social learning environment.
Opting to be connected to a private teacher is a different type of learning experience. You'll have more control over the topics and content of your lessons. You can completely skip over any skills you've mastered and focus on the areas you need more time to understand. Your teacher will be able to learn your goals, academic strengths, preferred style of learning, and your areas of weakness. You can have face-to-face meetings with your instructor using our Live Learning Platform, which brings one-on-one attention to your favorite place to study. If you prefer, we can find you an instructor who is local and will make every effort to find someone who can help you reach for your goals and meet within your scheduling requirements.
What do I need to do to begin working with a private Tulsa Praxis tutor or enroll in an online Praxis class?
All you need to do to get started is contact our educational consultants either by phone or online. We will help you understand the different prep options and answer any questions you might have. Let Varsity Tutors get you set up with Tulsa Praxis preparation so you can work towards your teaching aspirations.

It is more important that students learn how to solve problems rather than just memorizing facts or formulas. All students are smart in their own way and, teaching should be catered to how students best understand. Ultimately students should understand why what they are learning is important.

David: Tulsa PRAXIS test prep instructor
A tutor or teacher can offer information or ideas. Cooperation with the student is required for learning to occur. I have taught in many environments from basketball coach to snowboard instructor. My education is taking me toward becoming a Math teacher. I look forward to the interactions where I can help students engage with the academic material ... Small goals and recognition of accomplishments are a useful to maintaining motivation.... Learning is rarely independent. We rely on books, teachers, tutors, and the Internet. I believe that the goal is to become a resourceful learner. When a student knows how to seek information, he or she will feel independent and empowered.
