If you're looking for assistance before taking your Praxis tests, a Virginia Beach Praxis course can be a big help toward helping you maximize your chances at earning a top score, and Varsity Tutors offers excellent live, online Praxis courses. While passing the Praxis is just one of the options to earn your teaching certification in Virginia, taking the exam can make it easier for you to go from Old Dominion University to landing a teaching job in nearby Maryland or North Carolina, both of which use the Praxis as an accepted test for their teachers to earn certification.
Even if your goal is to go from Norfolk State University to become a teacher at a Virginia Beach city school, such as Bayside or Ocean Lakes High Schools, taking the Praxis can be a great way to earn your certification and not have to worry about taking another testing option. When you take the Praxis test, you'll be evaluated on certain academic skills and subject-specific knowledge that you'll need in order to effectively teach a class. If you're worried about your test-taking skills, a Virginia Beach Praxis class can make a big difference in helping you shake off those jitters and show that you know your subject well enough to pass on your knowledge to students.
Why should I consider taking a Virginia Beach Praxis prep course?
Taking a course on the Praxis is all about preparation for the day of the test when you get to show that you understand the material and can effectively teach it. With so much that could possibly come up on the reading, writing, and mathematics assessments, it can seem overwhelming to think about studying all of it and remembering what you need to know for the test.
That's where preparation comes in handy. In the classroom, most teachers will go over important points multiple times with their students to emphasize that what they're discussing is something that they'll need to know in order to have success when it matters most. By taking the time to practice those skills in the classroom as they're being taught, a student is more likely to recall the information when it's time for the test and he or she needs to show mastery of the material.
Taking a Virginia Beach Praxis course is based on the same idea. During your course, you'll be able to develop your test-taking skills and maybe try a few practice tests to see what topics are your strongest and where you need to improve. By working on your weaknesses in a situation that allows you to make a few mistakes with no penalty, you could maximize your chances of being as prepared as possible when it's time to take your test.
What skills can I improve in a Virginia Beach Praxis class?
Whether you're taking a Principles of Learning and Teaching exam or a subject-specific test, a class can go a long way toward helping you become comfortable with the test. Depending on your test, you'll be sitting for somewhere between one and four hours, and it's important for you to be able to process information quickly and craft it into an argument for your exam's constructed response questions.
Fortunately, during your class, you'll be working in a collaborative setting with other students who can provide multiple perspectives on the content you're covering during your class discussions. When you get several different perspectives on the same information, everyone may be able to benefit and put what they've learned from each other to good use, and the best part is that you'll be able to attain that information from the comfort of your home because every course is conducted online. Plus, each course is led by a qualified instructor who understands the test and how to get a good score on it, giving you multiple avenues to improve your chances of getting the score that you desire.
How can I get started with a Virginia Beach Praxis course?
If you're ready to start focusing on what you need to do to earn your best possible score on the Praxis, Varsity Tutors can help. Our team of educational consultants can help you find a course that works with your schedule and allows you to dedicate the necessary time to studying and getting yourself ready to take the exam. All you have to do is find a place where you're comfortable studying and log in to your course.

Linda: Virginia Beach PRAXIS course instructor
As an English teacher, creating a sense of excitement in reading and writing is what I wanted students to always strive for in their academic lives. Literature and composition played an essential role in my life, and I hope students will feel the same as they explore their imagination and curiosity. When a student tells me they just read ".........." and loved it, I feel inspired by them and encourage them to continue learning forever.

Christopher: Virginia Beach PRAXIS course instructor
...things harder than they need to be. I use technology as much as possible and like to find resources that I can provide to my students to make their academic careers more enjoyable and manageable. I retired from the US Navy in 2015 after serving for 22 years on active duty. I am enjoying my retirement and each opportunity I get to work with the wide variety of students here on Varsity.... I view teaching as a highly purposeful communication that occurs within the complex flow of human interactions. My primary goal is the crafting of clear and effective instruction materials to facilitate learning through discovery, exploration, and execution of learning activities. Using this as a foundation, I strive to reduce the difficulty that many students have learning to write well by breaking concepts down into the smallest chunks possible. To evaluate learning outcomes, I adapt various measures such as individual and collaborative work output; critical, creative and reflective writing (learning journals); writing portfolios; presentations utilizing multi-media technology; combined creative, reflective, critical thinking activities (written or verbal); student's contribution to discussions and feedback; various activities that apply multiple intelligence abilities; and concept summaries. With this at the core of my philosophy, I unceasingly strive to improve myself through reflective self-evaluations and I endeavor to keep my knowledge and expertise in our field updated. I value feedback from my students, mentors, superiors and colleagues to enhance my potential and capabilities in the teaching profession. Maintaining a non-threatening environment is also crucial to allow the productive flow of communication exchange between students and the instructor and among students themselves. Learning materials, activities, assessments and evaluations of learning outcomes must cater to the diverse learning styles, talents and capabilities, educational, social, and cultural backgrounds of students.
