Advanced Placement (AP) classes are the heavyweight training of the high school classroom. With them students can round out their transcripts with compelling bulk and prepare to compete formidably in college. An AP course is an ambitious task for a high school student, but of course it offers the opportunity for a great payoff.
Even without the exam immediately in mind, the day-to-day demands of AP classes may be two or three times as great as those of regular high school classes. Any student is likely to feel discouraged by this, especially if he or she doesn’t understand something but is forced to push onward nonetheless, simply to keep up. We have a tutoring program tailored for such students, a short tour-de-force focused on mastering the mechanics of the exam: how to match wits with the multiple choice portion with a combination of knowledge and exam-specific skills, and how to budget time and structure thought for the open-ended free response questions.
Whether you have several months or only several weeks left in your AP class, if you need help, it’s yours for the asking. Our tutors are students, too, who have competed at the caliber and pace of the college course and can share a broader perspective on what the APs are all about.
