Looking for help in another subject? Schedule an appointment with a director or call (800) 685-6986 to discuss private tutoring.

Our AP expert tutors have advanced degrees in the subjects that they teach, and they particularly enjoy the focus and depth of AP courses. They are among the most experienced in the industry, averaging over 1000 tutoring hours and leading hundreds of students to 4s and 5s each year! Engaging, positive role models, they make learning strategies and reviewing content fun and demonstrate how to strategically accumulate points.  

Each weekend, students will participate in a 90-minute live webinar designed to teach effective study methods for the official exams in May and review practice test results. Students have the opportunity to ask questions of the instructor so they can arrive at the official exam confident in their success.

Full-length practice AP tests completed in between sessions provide a great way for students to get a dry run at the exams and receive scoring projections and written feedback from expert readers. Once enrolled, students can join one of the proctored AP testing sessions or self-administer the tests at home. Your Compass score report will help you better understand exactly where points are gained or lost.
