AP tutoring in math and science, built around the exam.
Every AP course has a published framework and every AP exam has published scoring guidelines. Our tutors teach to both, while keeping pace with your class.
AP courses are graded twice: once by your teacher all year, and once by the College Board in May. Good tutoring helps with both. During the year we follow your class. From spring, we shift toward timed practice using released free response questions and real scoring guidelines.
Most AP math and science exams are now hybrid digital: multiple choice in the Bluebook app, free response written by hand. We prepare students for that format.
AP Chemistry
AP Chemistry is the class students most often tell us they are drowning in. A tutor who knows all nine units, and how the free response section is actually graded, changes that quickly.
Grades 10 to 12 →BIO 400 · APAP Biology
Students who try to memorize AP Biology run out of room by Unit 4. The exam asks you to read data, design experiments, and predict outcomes. That is a skill, and it can be taught.
Grades 10 to 12 →PHYS 401 · APAP Physics 1
AP Physics 1 has one of the lowest score distributions of any AP exam. The math is only algebra. What makes it hard is reasoning about physical situations in words, graphs, and diagrams, and that is exactly what we practice.
Grades 10 to 12 →PHYS 402 · APAP Physics 2
AP Physics 2 covers more different kinds of physics than almost any other course. Each unit feels like starting over. A tutor helps you see what carries over, so you are never truly starting from zero.
Grades 11 to 12 →PHYS 451 · APAP Physics C: Mechanics
Physics C is taught like a first semester college engineering course. The physics ideas are familiar. The challenge is using derivatives, integrals, and differential equations to describe them.
Grades 11 to 12 →PHYS 452 · APAP Physics C: E&M
Electricity and Magnetism is the most abstract AP science exam. You cannot see a field, and the math uses surface and line integrals students have barely met. Good tutoring makes it concrete.
Grades 11 to 12 →ENVS 400 · APAP Environmental Science
AP Environmental Science covers a huge range of topics and expects students to calculate without a lot of support. Most points are lost on the math question and on vague explanations.
Grades 10 to 12 →MATH 300 · APAP Precalculus
AP Precalculus is newer than most AP courses, and its exam focuses on modeling and reading functions in many forms. Strong precalculus is the single best predictor of doing well in calculus.
Grades 10 to 12 →MATH 410 · APAP Calculus AB
Most calculus mistakes are not calculus mistakes. They are algebra and trig slips made while doing calculus. We fix both at once, so the new ideas have something solid to stand on.
Grades 11 to 12 →MATH 420 · APAP Calculus BC
BC covers a full year of college calculus. Students who do well in it usually are not smarter than everyone else. They just never let a topic slide, especially series.
Grades 11 to 12 →STAT 400 · APAP Statistics
The calculations in AP Statistics are done on a calculator. The points are earned in the sentences around them: conditions, interpretations, and conclusions in context.
