Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a San Antonio Praxis prep course to help you prepare for exam day. The Praxis exams are a series of high-stakes assessments that many states utilize as part of the teacher certification process. They're designed to determine whether an individual has the academic knowledge and teaching skills expected of a classroom instructor.
Just as there are multiple types of teachers, there are a variety of different Praxis tests. Praxis Core tests in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics measure the fundamental skills every teacher is expected to have. There are also Praxis Subject Assessments that are more specialized in nature, dealing with a specific academic subject such as Biology or the pedagogical knowledge of the age group you will be working with (Early Childhood, grades K-6, 5-9, or 7-12). Your state's guidelines and career goals determine which of these exams you need to take, as well as what is considered a passing score. Thankfully, taking a San Antonio Praxis class can help you study for any of these exams. Continue reading to find out how.
What concepts can I review in a San Antonio Praxis course?
The content of your San Antonio Praxis class depends on which exam or exams you're studying for. For instance, let's say that you're preparing for the Praxis Reading Core test. Your instructor may demonstrate active reading techniques to help you engage with the material, improving your retention of it. You can also jot down the key points of each passage to make it easier to compare and contrast different documents.
You might also wish to discuss the formatting of the Praxis with your instructor. Nearly all of these tests are administered on a computer, meaning that you'll be working with an electronic interface. If you aren't accustomed to computerized testing, your instructor can provide sample test items to help you get a feel for it. Likewise, you need to prepare for a mix of multiple-choice questions and constructed-response items for most Praxis tests. If you're concerned about finishing in the time available to you, your instructor can also show you time management strategies to improve your self-confidence heading into the exam.
What advantages can a San Antonio Praxis course provide?
Each of our courses entails a passionate instructor meeting with a group of dedicated students on our proprietary Live Learning Platform. Varsity Tutors takes the time to interview every teacher before they are trusted to teach a course, so you can count on learning from a Praxis expert who understands how to share their extensive knowledge with students like you. Therefore, there's no need to be shy about asking for help in a course.
Our exclusive Live Learning Platform also harnesses powerful features like a virtual whiteboard and video chat functionality to make you feel as though you're in the same physical classroom even if you're miles apart. Our online classroom software is also mobile-friendly, allowing you to attend a class during downtime at a local college or university such as Trinity University - Texas or The University of Texas - San Antonio just as easily as you could from home. Why go to a test prep class when the class can come to you?
Many students also find it easier to learn complicated concepts in a collaborative learning environment than trying to study on their own. For instance, one of your classmates may know a mnemonic device for remembering what all of the different numbers on the Periodic Table of Elements mean for a science assessment. If they show it you, you can share it with your future students long after your exam is finished. Your instructor might also assign group projects to expose you to a variety of different perspectives on how to approach a problem.
Studying in a group also provides fantastic value for your money. You also have the right to arrange private study sessions with your instructor on an as-needed basis to help you overcome any learning obstacles you're experiencing.
Varsity Tutors also tries to make all of our products as accessible as we can. We offer multiple course sessions simultaneously, including two-week and four-week options to accommodate a variety of schedules. We also offer new courses on a monthly basis, so you never need to wait too long before getting started.
