Varsity Tutors can help education students at schools like Charter College of Education at California State University Los Angeles to prepare for their certification exams, with Los Angeles Praxis prep. There are several different Praxis exams, but no matter which you are preparing for, it never hurts to have a solid review of the subject matter before you take the test.
The Praxis exams include Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators, or Core, which looks at academic skills in reading, writing, and math. There are also the Praxis Subject Assessments, and Praxis Elementary Education: Content Knowledge for Teaching. We can help you to find the right method of instruction to work with the way you learn, whether that's time with a Los Angeles Praxis tutor, or a virtual class that brings you together with others who are also preparing for the Praxis exams.
What concepts will be covered during Los Angeles Praxis prep?
The content of the exam prep that you're looking for depends on which exam you're taking. In general, it's important to know that the Praxis exams are computerized and you are not penalized for incorrect answers. If you're taking the Praxis Core, you'll see that there are three separate tests: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics, and these can be taken individually, or as a single exam on test day. Praxis Subject Assessments look at an individual's subject-specific knowledge and teaching skills, with essay questions and selected response questions. The Principles of Learning and Teaching tests look at an individual's pedagogical and general knowledge in Early Childhood, K-6, 5-9 or 7-12 grade ranges. Again, you'll see selected-response questions and short answers based on case studies. The length of time for these exams depends on which test you're going to take.
It doesn't matter which test you're preparing for though. When you sign up for Los Angeles Praxis preparation with Varsity Tutors, you'll work with someone who understands not only the concepts on the exams, but also the format, as well as the pressure that you may be feeling. An instructor may be able to offer insights into how to handle test anxiety or manage your time so that you can answer as many questions as possible during your exam.
How do the two methods of Los Angeles Praxis prep work?
Our educational consultants can help you explore two methods of instruction: there is a virtual Los Angeles Praxis prep class, where you study with others who are also preparing for Praxis exams, and an instructor through the internet, or private tutoring with an individual who knows what you can expect when you sit for Praxis exams. It's not unusual for students to combine both methods of instruction to create a comprehensive review program before their tests. Whether you choose to enroll in a Los Angeles Praxis prep class, or you choose to work with someone alone, it's more convenient because you don't have to travel to a classroom or worry about joining a review program that is already in session. You'll work with someone who knows the material and can guide you in your Los Angeles Praxis prep.
If you thrive with the focus that comes from personal instruction, working with a Los Angeles Praxis prep tutor is an option. Meet your academic coach virtually, using the internet and the Live Learning Platform created by Varsity Tutors, or meet in a physical location that you choose. When you choose to work with a private instructor, they'll get to know you. They can then use what they learn about your personality, how you learn best, and what material you're comfortable with versus what you need more support with, to create a personalized study plan. That plan may include test-taking tips, time management, or exploration of exam-related topics, like the assessment of argumentative and explanatory writing, or algebra and functions, or reading ability.
If you prefer the collaborative environment of a classroom, a Los Angeles Praxis prep course is an option. You'll get the energy of a full class, with the convenience of virtual meetings that save you time, and energy. These classes use the Live Learning Platform to connect, as well as the virtual whiteboard and video chat. It's always possible to communicate with your instructor one-on-one if you need it. Classes are scheduled throughout the day and start regularly, so it's easy to fit one into a busy schedule.
Where can I find more about Los Angeles Praxis prep?
Signing up for Los Angeles Praxis prep is easy. Our educational consultants can help you find a method that meets your needs and can get you into a course or lined up with a tutor to get your Praxis review underway. Contact Varsity Tutors today so we can help you get started on your Los Angeles Praxis prep.

David: Los Angeles 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.
