WELCOME TO PARAREADY
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower current and future paraprofessionals with practical, standards-aligned test preparation for the Praxis ParaPro Assessment — equipping them with the knowledge, confidence, and classroom-ready strategies they need to support student success on day one.
Building Better Classrooms Starts with Supporting Those Who Support Our Teachers
Our CEO/Founder, Dr. Jason Ampel, has spent the last 23 years in education shaping how we teach, how we learn, and how we prepare the people who make schools thrive.
From his early years in middle and high school classrooms in Central Florida to a decade-long tenure as a college professor in teacher education, Dr. Ampel has trained thousands of future educators on what it takes to succeed in today’s evolving schools. But he didn’t stop there.
Over the past decade, Dr. Ampel founded and built a series of nationally recognized online test prep platforms that have helped more than 60,000 teachers and students pass their state certification exams — many of them on their final attempt. His programs have become known for their expert instruction, practical strategies, and student-first mindset. With a blend of real classroom experience and digital innovation, he’s become one of the most trusted names in teacher licensure support.

Why ParaReady?
In today’s schools, paraprofessionals are the unsung heroes.
They’re working side by side with teachers — supporting instruction, providing individualized help, building relationships, and keeping classrooms running smoothly. As school systems nationwide face increasing demands, paraprofessionals are stepping up like never before.
But here’s the challenge: to work in many school districts, these professionals must pass the Praxis ParaPro Assessment (1755) — a test that most people have never heard of until it’s required.
And unlike traditional teachers, many aspiring paraprofessionals don’t have access to college programs, prep courses, or school resources. They’re working full-time, raising families, or changing careers — and they need affordable, effective, and flexible prep that fits their lives.

That’s where ParaReady comes in.
We built ParaReady to close this gap — to give everyday people the tools, support, and confidence they need to get certified and get hired. Whether you’re stepping into education for the first time or returning after years away, our platform is designed to meet you exactly where you are.
