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.

What Makes Us Different?

We’re not just helping you pass the test. We’re helping you become the kind of paraprofessional teachers rely on and students remember.
At ParaReady, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter test prep.
We offer a complete, self-paced boot camp experience that includes:
  • Standards-aligned video lessons for Reading, Math, and Writing
  • Interactive quizzes, digital flashcards, and bonus practice tests
  • Test-taking tips from experienced educators
  • Real-time support through our ParaReady Facebook group — because no one should prepare alone

Our Mission Is Bigger Than the Test

Helping people pass the Praxis ParaPro Assessment is our goal — but it’s not our only one.

We’re on a mission to support the future of education by lifting up the individuals who support our teachers. Paraprofessionals bring heart, flexibility, and care into the classroom. With the right tools and guidance, they can transform a child’s school experience.

Whether you’re a district administrator looking to qualify your team, or an individual ready to finally make your impact in education — we’re here to help you prepare with purpose and pass with pride.
