Nisarg
ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects
I'm a freshman here at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I graduated from Wayzata High, and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that teaching is a responsibility and a privilege; I'll put 110% into teaching if you put the same effort into learning. With hard work and patience, anything is possible!

Sean
Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects
I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Kent State University. Throughout middle and high school, my access to tutors and other assistance services was limited. This in turn inhibited my learning and caused me to struggle in aspects of school that never really clicked. So I want to give others what I never got, and hopefully make learning easier to achieve. My subject of choice is math, but specifically, I tutor Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry.
Sam
Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
I am a graduate from Yale University with a degree in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. An advocate for math and science education, I have become a writer and poet concerned with aesthetic philosophy since my graduation. My passion for teaching has taken on many forms, including as a music instructor, having maintained a private cello studio and conducted after-school string orchestra programs, as a running coach for youth and high school cross country and track athletes, and as a tutor in math and chemistry. At the moment, I tutor mathematics, which I believe to be an exceptionally crucial skill to develop for any academic subject and for a more intimate appreciation for the intricacies of the world. I fervently prescribe to a teaching method that promotes a unique engagement, both between student and instructor and with the subject matter, in order to impart the very human and meaningful elements residing in the material. Outside my more scholarly pursuits, I am an avid reader, a performing musician, and an amateur distance runner.

Alireza
Academic Coaching Tutor • +37 Subjects
I have 17 years experience in teaching general English, IELTS, TOEFL, and other international exams. I obtained my MA 14 years ago and am currently a PhD student in English teaching. I love to share my knowledge with my students in a friendly, warm, and culturally comfortable atmosphere I create all through my classes. I am particularly good at teaching speaking and writing in a smooth and exciting way. My students receive step-wise instructions in writing and clear feedback on their work. For speaking, I mostly focus on what my students want English for. This, I believe, maximizes our class efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS Core Math exam covers three main content areas: Number and Quantity (including fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios), Algebra and Functions (linear equations, polynomials, and graphing), and Geometry and Measurement (shapes, area, volume, and spatial reasoning). Test-takers also encounter data interpretation and basic probability questions. Personalized tutoring helps you identify which of these areas need the most attention and develop targeted strategies for each content domain.
Strong problem-solving on the PRAXIS Core Math exam requires more than procedural fluency—it demands understanding the underlying concepts and recognizing patterns across different problem types. Expert tutors help you move beyond memorized steps by teaching you to break down complex problems into manageable parts, identify what the question is really asking, and connect new problems to familiar concepts. Learning to sketch diagrams, work through examples systematically, and check your reasoning at each step builds both accuracy and confidence on test day.
Word problems require you to translate everyday language into mathematical notation—a skill that's separate from computational ability. Many test-takers struggle not with the math itself, but with identifying which information is relevant and determining which operation to use. Personalized instruction helps you develop a systematic approach: reading carefully for key details, defining variables clearly, and connecting the problem context to the underlying mathematical structure. With practice and guidance, you'll see how word problems actually reinforce your conceptual understanding rather than just testing computational skills.
Preparation time varies based on your starting point and comfort with math concepts, but most test-takers benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused study. If you're working to strengthen foundational skills or rebuild confidence after time away from math, you may want to allow additional time. Personalized tutoring accelerates progress by targeting your specific weak areas rather than having you review material you've already mastered. Your tutor can help you create a realistic timeline and track your improvement through practice tests that mirror the actual exam format.
You might understand a concept in isolation but freeze when you encounter it in an unfamiliar context or multi-step problem—this is one of the biggest hurdles on the PRAXIS Core Math exam. Expert tutors bridge this gap by teaching you to recognize patterns, see how concepts connect, and practice applying skills in varied scenarios. They help you move from "I can solve this type of problem" to "I can recognize when to use this tool." Through repeated, guided practice with different problem variations, you develop the flexibility and automaticity you need to perform confidently under test conditions.
Math anxiety often stems from past negative experiences, pressure to work quickly, or fear of making mistakes. Expert tutors create a judgment-free environment where you can ask questions, take your time understanding concepts, and learn that mistakes are valuable learning opportunities. By celebrating progress, breaking challenging material into manageable steps, and building genuine confidence through success, personalized tutoring helps shift your relationship with math from stressful to empowering. Many test-takers find that one-on-one instruction reduces anxiety significantly because you're working at your own pace with someone invested in your growth.
The best PRAXIS Core Math tutors combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to explain concepts in multiple ways—because what works for one learner might not work for another. They ask diagnostic questions to understand your thinking, listen carefully to where you get stuck, and guide you toward conceptual clarity rather than just showing you steps to memorize. Look for someone who can make abstract concepts tangible through examples and diagrams, help you develop problem-solving strategies beyond rote procedures, and create a learning environment where you feel comfortable asking questions. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in PRAXIS Core Math preparation and have a track record of helping students build both skills and confidence.
