Claire
Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a rising sophomore at the University of Notre Dame majoring in Political Science and minoring in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Since graduating high school with high honors, I have been involved with volunteering, student government, and I am a proud member of Notre Dame's mock trial team! I'm most passionate about teaching math to students of all ages, especially middle school. I know how stressful and intimidating math can be, and I want every student to feel confident to succeed in math, whether it be for elementary school, middle school, high school, or on a college admissions exam. I believe that students are most successful when they are given the tools, strategies, and confidence to perform at the best potential. I am passionate about learning and helping others succeed and hope to share this passion and excitement for learning with all my students!
Raechel
Elementary School Reading Tutor • +7 Subjects
I'm a 21 year old college student, reader, writer, bit of a gym rat, and dog mom.While my major is currently pre-med to pursue a nursing degree, I'm extremely passionate about reading and writing. I've been a bit of a book nerd my whole life, and I love all the things you can do with written language. This passion is to the point I've been known to offer to edit papers enthusiastically. I tutor in reading and writing, including ACT English Prep. I've always enjoyed helping those who struggle reading and writing essays to find the words they already have and show them the process isn't as daunting as it can sometimes seem.
Jamie
Chemistry Tutor • +4 Subjects
I was really lucky all the way through college that I really had good teachers at all levels. When I got to graduate school, I had my first experience with teachers who weren't very passionate about teaching and it was the first time I struggled with the material. It helped me see how important quality teaching had been to my academic success, and it also helped me see what makes a good teacher, good. This sparked my interest in not just how to teach, but how do students learn? I've been tutoring and teaching ever since and I'm always looking for new ways to reach students and to make the material spark interest.I earned my Bachelor's in Chemistry at Illinois Wesleyan University and went on to a PhD in Organic Chemistry at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. I tutor in most STEM courses including geometry, algebra and pre-calc and chemistry, physics and biology. I tailor my tutoring sessions to the student and focus on a problem-solving approach.

Bill
ACT English Tutor • +50 Subjects
I am a PhD candidate in the field of English Literature, so I am a lifelong student, scholar, and writer. I have taught and tutored all age students, at a variety of preparedness levels. My role as a teacher is to provide the information each individual student needs, at the right time, to succeed.I am also a chess player, a cello player, and an ultimate frisbee player. I graduated from a liberal arts college (Carleton, near Minneapolis), which means that I experienced a tradition that values student perspectives and seeks to bring each individual to a conceptual space where (s)he can achieve by objective standards.I also believe very strongly that a teacher's primary obligation is for the safety and welfare of his/her students. This clear sense of my technique, my role, and my responsibility prepares me to help teach literature, critical reading, and essay writing in ways that create clear, safe opportunities for learning.

I'm a great tutor because I am warm, engaging, funny and I genuinely love to learn. I am good at breaking down larger concepts into more understandable narratives to impart to my students, and I am very astute when it comes to sensing what style of and approach to tutoring is most suited to the student I am working with. I come from a family of teachers and writers, and I love to help students who are struggling academically to re-discover the magic and beauty of learning. It's what makes life worth living!

Jessica
10th Grade Writing Tutor • +39 Subjects
A good teacher can make an enormous impact on the life of a student. I have seen this firsthand throughout my life. As a student, I learned how to read and write critically because I had teachers who cared, and who invested themselves in my education. Because of these teachers, I have dedicated myself to the education of others. As a tutor, there is nothing more gratifying than having a student report back that a paper got an A, or that a much-feared test was actually a breeze.My goal as your tutor is to remove the fear and anxiety that may surround a subject, and to place there instead something positive--the love of a book, an appreciation for a well-written paragraph, and the confidence to attack any test or assignment with assurance.I hold my Master's Degree in English Curriculum and Instruction for grades 5-12, and I am well-versed in different teaching methods to ensure that a student who works with me has every chance of success. I think that students learn best when they are interested in a topic; my job as a tutor is to stimulate that interest in any way possible. I will motivate and inspire you to be the best student you can be!

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS Art exam (5401) assesses knowledge across art history, aesthetics, art criticism, and studio practices. The test covers major artistic movements and periods, understanding of visual elements and principles of design, ability to analyze and interpret artworks, and knowledge of contemporary art issues and practices.
A tutor can help you focus on the specific content areas where you need the most support, whether that's strengthening your art history foundation, mastering visual analysis techniques, or deepening your understanding of art pedagogy and classroom applications.
Personalized tutoring provides targeted feedback on your specific weaknesses rather than generic test prep. A tutor can identify whether you're struggling with visual analysis skills, art historical knowledge, or test-taking strategy—and create a customized study plan accordingly.
Unlike solo study, personalized instruction allows you to ask questions in real-time, engage in discussion about complex artworks and movements, and receive guidance on how to approach multi-part exam questions. This interactive approach typically leads to faster improvement and deeper comprehension than independent study alone.
An effective PRAXIS Art tutor should have strong knowledge of art history, contemporary art practices, and the exam format itself. They should be able to explain visual concepts clearly and help you develop analytical skills for interpreting unfamiliar artworks on test day.
Look for someone who understands the pedagogical component of the exam and can discuss how art concepts apply to classroom teaching. Experience preparing other candidates for the PRAXIS Art exam is valuable, as is the ability to adapt explanations to your learning style and identify your specific knowledge gaps.
Most candidates benefit from 4-12 weeks of focused preparation, depending on their art background and starting knowledge level. Someone with a degree in art or art education may need less prep time, while those with limited formal art training typically need more time to build foundational knowledge in art history and criticism.
Personalized tutoring can accelerate your progress by concentrating study time on the content you find most challenging rather than reviewing material you already know well. Even candidates who studied art extensively can benefit from structured test prep focused specifically on the PRAXIS format and the types of visual analysis questions you'll encounter.
Many test-takers struggle with the breadth of art history content—trying to memorize every movement and artist rather than understanding overarching themes and connections. Others find the visual analysis section challenging because it requires both knowledge of specific artworks and the ability to analyze unfamiliar pieces using design principles and critical thinking.
Additionally, some candidates underestimate the pedagogy component, which asks how art concepts and practices apply to teaching K-12 students. A tutor can help you develop efficient study strategies for art history, strengthen your visual literacy skills, and ensure you understand the educational applications expected on the exam.
Yes—many successful PRAXIS Art test-takers don't have memorized every artwork or artist. Instead, they understand key movements, artists, and periods, and can recognize stylistic characteristics and historical context. A tutor can help you build efficient knowledge frameworks rather than trying to memorize endless lists.
Personalized instruction allows you to focus on the periods and movements most heavily tested, identify patterns in art historical development, and develop strategies for analyzing unfamiliar artworks using visual elements and historical knowledge. This conceptual approach is far more effective for exam success than rote memorization.
Visual analysis is a learned skill that improves with practice and feedback. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach to analyzing artworks—identifying visual elements like color, line, and composition; recognizing stylistic characteristics; and connecting visual observations to historical context and artistic intent.
Regular practice analyzing diverse artworks across different periods and cultures, combined with tutor feedback on your analysis, builds confidence for test day. You'll learn to approach unfamiliar pieces with a structured methodology rather than relying on prior knowledge, which is essential since the exam includes contemporary works you may never have encountered.
