Varsity Tutors offers Detroit Praxis prep courses that can help interested students take an important step towards becoming future educators. This comprehensive review can prepare candidates who wish to take the Praxis Core or the Praxis Subject Assessments. The Detroit Praxis course welcomes students from schools throughout the Detroit area, such as, but not limited to, Wayne State University and the University of Michigan - Dearborn. The Praxis tests evaluate candidates' competency in both general teaching skills and content-specific knowledge. Praxis tests are often used as a measure of certification for aspiring educators across many different states. Regardless of where you are in the preparation process, a Detroit Praxis course can provide you with the opportunity to revisit important material you learned in school in a manner that is more effective than studying on your own.
What will be covered during the Detroit Praxis class?
As mentioned above, the class can benefit both those seeking to take the Praxis Core or the Praxis Subject Assessments. The Praxis Core is a computer-administered exam that consists of a reading test, writing test, and a mathematics test. Therefore, the class will focus on the fundamental knowledge required to tackle these tests. Students can learn how to improve their analysis of multiple documents, sharpen their writing and research skills, and perform essential mathematical work such as functions, geometry, statistics, and probability. On the other hand, the Praxis Subject Assessments, in addition to covering some of the general knowledge mentioned above, evaluate test-takers on their specific pedagogical abilities within specific grade level ranges from K-12. The Detroit Praxis class will then cover strategies to tackle specific case questions that students may face on the exam in order to cater to the needs of those taking each different grade range exam.
What are the benefits of attending the Detroit Praxis course instead of studying for the exam on my own?
The Detroit Praxis course will be led by a qualified and experienced instructor that specializes in providing valuable information relating to the content and format of the Praxis assessments. The guidance provided can help students better organize their revision process and highlight important areas to tackle. Moreover, the instructors are trained in facilitating a collaborative environment where students can benefit from peer learning. All courses employ the Live Learning Platform technology which uses video chat and a virtual whiteboard in order to connect you to your instructor and classmates as if you were attending a physical classroom. In such a setting, students can learn from one another by filling in the gaps in their knowledge by communicating with their classmates and exchanging information. In addition to that, the classroom creates a sense of comradery amongst individuals that can increase everyone's motivation to succeed. This collaborative environment is unique to the Detroit Praxis course and can provide a type of preparation that individual studying cannot.
During the Detroit Praxis course, your instructor understands the importance of covering both the content and format of the exam. Because the Praxis assessments cover a wide range of subjects from reading and writing to mathematics, the course will help students pinpoint the specific type of questions they need to improve on. For example, some students may do well when analyzing passages and documents but struggle when it comes to solving complex mathematical equations. Throughout the course, your instructor can help the class with the specific areas of the material that the class is struggling with.
Finally, the online nature of the course provides you with accessibility and flexibility that a physical course does not. You do not have to worry about the time cost of performing a physical commute. Whether you are trying to fit the course into your class or work schedule, as long as you have a short period of time with a computer and internet connection you can benefit from the Detroit Praxis course.
How can I enroll in a Detroit Praxis class?
The first step in enrolling is to contact an educational consultant at Varsity Tutors through the highly accessible online platform. Once you are on there, you will have a range of options to choose from depending on your preference of time of day you'd like to take the class and the length of the class: typically, there are two-week courses and four-week courses. Consultants are also available to answer any questions you may have relating to the Detroit Praxis class in order to help you make the best test prep decision for yourself.
