I am seeking an experienced elementary mathematics tutor to help me prepare for the Praxis Elementary Education: Mathematics (5903) exam required for Colorado teaching licensure.
The ideal tutor has:
Strong knowledge of elementary math concepts
Proven experience preparing students for the Praxis
A calm, encouraging teaching style with exceptional patience
The ability to explain math concepts clearly, simply, and step-by-step
Tutoring sessions will be conducted online.
I have full access to the 240 Tutoring Study Guide, which provides a strong framework for the exam. I’m looking for a tutor who is comfortable using this guide to structure our sessions and focus on test-relevant material.
A bit about me:
I have high levels of anxiety and frustration around math and haven’t studied it seriously in decades. I learn best with clear explanations, repetition when needed, and practical strategies—especially for word problems and deciding which approach to use during the exam.
Exam Content Areas Include:
I. Numbers and Operations
Place value system
Operations and properties of rational numbers
Proportional relationships and percents
Basic number theory
Strategies for determining the reasonableness of results
II. Algebraic Thinking
Evaluating and manipulating algebraic expressions, equations, and formulas
Meanings of solutions to linear equations and inequalities
Recognizing and representing patterns
Order of operations
III. Geometry, Measurement, Data & Probability
Classifying 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional figures
Perimeter, area, surface area, and volume
Coordinate plane and graphing ordered pairs
Measurement concepts
Basic statistics
Representing and interpreting data
Understanding probability of events
What I’m Hoping to Gain:
Confidence with core math concepts
Clear strategies for tackling word problems
Test-taking strategies tailored to the Praxis
A supportive learning environment that reduces anxiety and builds momentum
If you enjoy helping adult learners build confidence in math and have experience with Praxis preparation, I’d love to hear from you. Please include your relevant experience and availability in your proposal.
