About

Hi everyone! Will you be taking AP World History: Modern this year? By joining our series, you will review with us until the AP Exam in May! We will do our best to give you a strong understanding of AP World so you can succeed in the class, and pass the exam! Most of the time, we will cover each unit in 2-3 sessions as there is a lot of information to go over. After we go over a unit, we will spend the next session going over MCQs (multiple-choice questions) on the unit.

As our series goes on, we will teach you how to properly write LEQs (long-essay questions), DBQs (document-based questions), and SAQs (short-answer questions), and you will also be given the opportunity to work through them! Alex and I will give you feedback on how to improve them, and teach you how to adhere to the rubric to gain as many points as possible! If you have any questions, please do not be afraid to ask! We are here to assist you with anything!

Please keep in mind that the times and dates may be subject to change! We plan on adding more sessions as needed considering how this series is supposed to run from the summer to the exam!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

We require everybody to try and show up for every session. However, sometimes life can get you, so we ask that you let us know before the session or afterward. We can always schedule make-up sessions/office hours!

If you have more than TWO unexcused absences and do not respond to the tutors within 48 hours, you may be removed.

About the Tutors

Hello! I’m a rising high school senior here to improve in whatever is needed, and learn whatever I can!

Please feel free to reach out for any help! :)

Hey everyone! I am a high school junior from Georgia. In my free time, you'll find me boxing, playing the piano, drinking bubble tea, or catching up on some much-needed sleep. I am here to help others with math or anything else you might need help with (just not science, lol).
