If you are an aspiring teacher, Varsity Tutors can help you enroll in a Houston Praxis course to further your teaching career. All courses are taught by experienced instructors who provide a comprehensive review of what you'll be expected to know on the test. The test itself will cover material you've learned at the University of Houston, Texas Southern University, or another institution. Many education agencies in the U.S. look at scores from Praxis tests when issuing licenses to new educators. So you'll want to prepare as much as possible before you take the actual test. Enrolling in a Houston Praxis class can help prepare you for the exam by filling in any knowledge gaps you have.
What topics are covered in a Houston Praxis course?
The Praxis test is administered by the Educational Test Service (ETS) and consists of a series of tests that measure your academic skills and subject-specific knowledge. If you are entering the teaching profession, you may be required to take this test before you can teach at a public school. The Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core) assesses your academic proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics. The Praxis Subject Assessments measure subject-specific knowledge. The purpose of the tests is to determine your ability to teach young learners.
Your Houston Praxis course instructor will cover the main components of the test and can even teach you test-taking skills to work more efficiently through the questions. For example, your score is based on how many questions you answer correctly. There are no penalties for getting an answer wrong but it's in your best interest to answer each question to the best of your ability. Your instructor can teach you how to approach questions that you may not know the answer to and show you tips to eliminate obviously wrong choices. The Praxis test is likely to be different than any you may have taken in the past. Understanding the contents of the test and how it is laid out can give you a much better chance of passing.
What are the benefits of taking a Houston Praxis prep course?
Taking the Praxis tests means that you'll be expected to know material that relates to general and subject-specific knowledge. The longer you've been away from this material, the more time you'll likely need to review. Otherwise, you may find yourself having to pay the fee and retake the test again. Enrolling in a Houston Praxis class offers many advantages over reviewing on your own. All classes are led by an expert instructor who is familiar with the contents of the test and how it is formatted. This benefits you directly as it gives you a clearer picture of what to expect on the day you take the actual test. Your instructor can also lead class discussions, giving you an engaging way to review and reinforce material that might be unclear.
Enrolling in a Houston Praxis course provides a collaborative learning environment where you can participate in classroom discussions. During any group activities, other aspiring teachers can also contribute their own answers and even provide helpful advice like studying tips. All classes are conducted entirely online. There is no need to commute to a physical location. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. You'll be able to attend classes and interact with your instructor and classmates using the video chat functionality and an online whiteboard.
If you prefer to receive private instruction, you can also reach out to your instructor to arrange one-on-one time outside of class. Your instructor can tailor a lesson plan addresses any particular areas you might be struggling with. Studying directly with your instructor also lets you review at a pace you're comfortable with. Your instructor can work directly with you to create a lesson plan based on any specific requirements you might have. Whether you prefer to enroll in an online class or study one-on-one with a private instructor, either can help you establish strong study habits and increase your understanding of what will be on the test.
How can I enroll in a Houston Praxis class?
If you decide to enroll, you'll be glad to know that all classes are led by experienced instructors who are qualified in both the content and format of the Praxis test. Since all classes are conducted online, you can attend at a time that fits your schedule. You can choose a class during the day, in the evening, or even on the weekends. Get in touch with Varsity Tutors today to enroll in a Praxis class. We'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

...peers, I have realized the value of adaptability. Most people reach out to a tutor because the traditional classroom method is not best suited for their learning needs. There is nothing more joyful than when a student finally understands the material in a way that makes sense to them. Many times, students need flexibility and patience in order to grasp a foreign concept. I am a firm believer in the power of education and I...
