Amanda

Biology Tutor • +5 Subjects

I received my bachelor's degree in biological sciences from Clemson University in 2006 and my PhD in Plant Pathology from the University of Florida in 2011. Plant Pathology is a specialized discipline in the field of microbiology which is a combination of plant sciences (horticulture, genetics, etc) with microbes which parasitize plants. My tutoring experiences includes more than 5 years of working with interns, and non traditional students in laboratory and classroom settings. I really enjoy teaching all subjects pertaining to the life sciences, including biology, microbiology, plant sciences, and genetics. Living organisms, their surrounding environment, and genetic make-up have always fascinated me since I was a child. It is a passion which was developed early and one which I adore.My education and teaching style has been honed through the land grant extension service, whose core mission is to teach people to help themselves. Therefore I tailor my teaching style to each individual or group by creating hands-on applications of the teaching topics and by challenging students to think by asking informed and engaging questions. Additionally, I most importantly believe that a fun engaging environment creates passion and desire to learn, inquire, and achieve great things.Outside of the classroom I really enjoy the outdoors from hiking to gardening to practicing yoga. I also love to cook and create down home "soul food" with a twist. Since I do come from two schools with large football cultures, fall is my favorite time of year. There is something about the crisp air, the color change in the trees, and the collegiate excitement around this sport that makes me feel extremely nostalgic and excited. Also I really love harvest festivals, the fairs, and the art shows. There is something about fall that brings out the creativity in people.

Aaron

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +40 Subjects

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I studied Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Humanities. I am currently enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

William

Biology Tutor • +9 Subjects

I majored in biology at Grove City College, PA and Cleveland State University, OH. I majored in zoology at Ohio State. My degrees are BS, MS, and PhD. My teaching began while I was earning my advanced degrees, and I enjoyed it so much that I am still teaching biology classes at Tri-C. Classes I have taught include Anatomy and Physiology, Ecology, and General Biology. My favorite subject is ecology because I can study outdoors in forests and streams. I teach the way that I was taught by my favorite teacher. He made the students feel comfortable and made learning fun. I like to describe subjects in ways that make it interesting to the student. I am passionate about learning and I love to share this passion with my students. I love walks in the woods where I can discover new things while I enjoy nature. I also love to read, especially science fiction and fantasy.

Cara

AP Biology Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate of Liberty University, where I received a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Biology. While there, I also obtained a Virginia teaching license in General Biology for grades 6-12. After graduating and getting married, I moved to South Florida, where I now attend Florida Atlantic University in pursuit of a Master of Science Degree in Environmental Science. I have been tutoring various subjects since high school, but find Math and Science to be my strongest areas. While at Liberty University, I worked as a Biology tutor both for the Bruckner Learning Center and for the Biology Department itself. For my education certification, I completed several Biology practicums including a semester of student teaching 6th grade life science at Linkehorne Middle School. Now as a graduate student, I work as a Teaching Assistant by teaching Comparative Vertebrate Morphogenesis, Human Morphology, and Anatomy and Physiology labs at the FAU Davie campus. I am very passionate about all things Science and Biology remains my favorite subject to tutor. While tutoring, I bring my extensive content knowledge, patience, and creativity for developing personalized tutoring and studying techniques. When I am not in class or tutoring, I enjoy tennis, biking, reading and being an officer for South Florida’s Herpetology Society (a society for amphibian and reptile lovers).

Jack

Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am an undergrad at the University of Chicago, having graduated high school at Jesuit Dallas. I am currently pursuing a major in Computer Science and a minor in Math. I am interested in teaching as a possible profession, so I am planning to attend graduate school in a few years and planning to get a TA job in upcoming quarters. I tutor Computer Science, Math, and Physics, for Middle and High School students, and maybe college students in intro classes. I am most passionate about teaching programming because I find it to be a very useful and engaging skill; a lot of my friends at UChicago come to me when they have trouble working with Python or R, so I also have the most teaching experience with this field as well.I believe everyone learns differently, and I aim to be flexible to meet the different learning styles of my students. My general approach, however, emphasizes discovery and the learning process, rather than the rote memorization of rules and facts (this is why I prefer teaching Math, Computer Science, and Physics instead of fact-based domains like History and Chemistry).In my free time, I learn more about programming, which I apply in the context of programming competitions and game design. I also love playing board games with friends and family.

Algebra 2 Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Central Florida studying electrical engineering with a minor in computer science. When I began attending college I realized that I had a real passion for helping my classmates understand any topic that would be difficult for them, and this is what encouraged me to become a tutor. I have previous tutoring experience in subjects from Chemistry to upper level math. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus, Algebra, and Engineering Statics. I strongly believe that the key to teaching a student is to show empathy and patience, as well as demonstrating how what is being taught can apply to real-life scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PRAXIS Spanish exam assesses all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension. The exam typically includes multiple-choice questions for reading and listening, constructed-response items for writing, and a speaking component where you respond to prompts in real time. Success requires not just grammar knowledge, but the ability to communicate naturally across different contexts—from everyday conversations to academic or professional scenarios. This is why speaking practice is so critical for exam preparation.

The speaking section is often the most challenging part for test-takers because it's hard to practice alone. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction gives you consistent, real-time conversation practice with someone who can immediately correct pronunciation, provide feedback on grammar in context, and help you think quickly in Spanish—skills you simply can't develop through textbooks or apps. Most students benefit from weekly speaking sessions in the months leading up to the exam, with increased frequency closer to test day.

This is a major pain point for PRAXIS test-takers. You can memorize every conjugation table and still freeze during the speaking section because your brain is too busy processing rules instead of communicating. Expert tutors help you move beyond conscious application of grammar to intuitive, automatic language use through guided conversation, contextual practice, and repeated exposure. They'll also teach you when "textbook Spanish" differs from how native speakers actually speak, which matters on the exam.

Pronunciation and accent clarity directly impact your speaking score on PRAXIS. Personalized instruction allows a tutor to listen carefully to your specific pronunciation challenges—whether it's the Spanish 'r', vowel sounds, intonation patterns, or stress—and give you targeted feedback and practice. Unlike language apps, a tutor can model pronunciation in real time, identify exactly where you're diverging from native patterns, and adjust explanations based on your first language. Consistent practice with feedback typically leads to noticeable improvement within weeks.

Vocabulary retention requires more than flashcards—research on spaced repetition and retrieval practice shows that revisiting words in meaningful contexts across multiple sessions creates lasting memory. Expert tutors help you learn thematically connected vocabulary (like academic, professional, or cultural contexts relevant to PRAXIS prompts) and use new words immediately in conversation and writing exercises. This approach embeds vocabulary into your active language use rather than passive recognition, which matters when you're under time pressure on test day.

Yes—PRAXIS reading passages and speaking prompts often include cultural contexts from Spanish-speaking countries, so some cultural familiarity helps. More importantly, understanding cultural nuances affects how you interpret language and respond appropriately. A skilled tutor can weave cultural context into your learning, explain idioms and expressions rooted in culture, and help you understand how Spanish speakers view communication differently. This depth of understanding supports both comprehension and authentic written/spoken responses on the exam.

The best PRAXIS tutors combine native or near-native Spanish fluency with specific knowledge of the exam format and scoring rubrics. They should be able to diagnose your weak areas quickly (is it grammar, vocabulary, fluency, or test strategy?), adapt their teaching to your learning style, and balance focused test prep with natural language development. Look for someone experienced with all four skills, comfortable doing conversation practice, and able to explain not just "what's right" but "why it matters on PRAXIS." Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in exactly this kind of preparation.
