It’s important to stay young and always want to learn more, see more and accomplish more. AMREEN KHAN Founder, Director Praxis Academic Development Richardson, TX https://www.linkedin.com/in/praxis-academic-development Amreen Khan is the founder and director of Praxis Academic Development, which she established in 2012. In this capacity, she specializes in test preparation and tutoring, focusing particularly on training students for medical college admissions and dental admissions testing. She works one-on-one with students, offering standardized test training and academic tutorials while heavily involved in curricula and material development. This hands-on approach has allowed her to continuously learn about student needs, adapt to the ever-evolving student population, and ultimately tailor learning experiences and materials to individual students. Her adaptive approach has led to a novel way of tutoring; Ms. Khan and her team of tutors do not readily answer students’ questions. Rather, they guide them with a strategy to answer their questions or figure out another way to choose correct answers on standardized tests. Furthermore, they teach students to apply the simplest fundamentals to even the most complex problems. This approach has yielded higher success rates on standardized tests and fostered environments that propel students to thrive academically and even surpass their goals. Before founding Praxis Academic Development, Ms. Khan trained for tutoring certifications and worked as a tutor in college learning centers while completing her degrees. By 1998, she had transitioned into teaching, primarily at the collegiate level, quickly realizing her talent and passion for helping others learn. She has also taught and tutored in various capacities, allowing her to experience diverse students of all ages, levels, and seemingly endless learning styles. Her preference for one-on-one instruction, along with viewing the student population as having endless learning styles, aligns with her company's approach to enhancing education – adapting to the unique needs of each student by continuously improving and evolving personalized learning experiences. This platform has also given her insight into developing curricula and materials catering to various learning styles, ensuring student success. Moreover, since becoming a fully remote learning platform in 2016, her company has reached students across the U.S. and other countries.
