I provide one-on-one and small group virtual tutoring for Texas educators preparing for TExES certification exams.
A typical session includes:
looking at the characteristics of a "perfect world" classroom and how that differs from what we might have experienced in the real world,
discussing the Educator Competencies assessed on your exam,
providing clarification for topics that you may need help understanding,
working through practice questions together to dig into the language that is being used, and
applying test taking strategies that have helped me personally be successful on all of my TExES exams.
My expertise is in general test taking strategies and assistance with understanding the Educator Competencies assessed on:
ESL Supplemental
Pedagogy & Professional Responsibilities (PPR)
Core Subjects EC-6
Core Subjects 4-8
Individual content areas EC-6 and 4-8
ELAR 7-12
Special Education EC-12 and Supplemental
Physical Education EC-12
* Additional exams considered upon request *
An Individual session is designed to address your needs, clarify understanding about the educator competencies and exam content, and tackle practice questions together.
