About

Hi everyone! During this comprehensive series, we will delve into each topic of AP Computer Science, from primitive types to recursion. No coding experience is required!! 

The AP Computer Science exam is a challenging and exhaustive test, and this course will help you master each unit, efficient test-taking, and the free response section. Be prepared for a lot of practice problems! 

This series is designed for learners who plan on taking AP Computer Science in the future or for those who want a sneak peek into the fascinating world of Java. 

I highly recommend attending every session as each topic will build off the previous one. However, if you have prior experience with Java, feel free to partake in whichever session attracts you. I will add on more sessions as we go, depending on the pacing of the class.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

I highly recommend attending every session as each topic will build off the previous one. However, if you have prior experience with Java, feel free to partake in whichever session attracts you. Attendance is not mandatory, but please attend at least one session.

About the Tutor

Hi! I'm Amy, a rising sophomore in high school from Virginia, and I hope to inspire students to become independent and confident learners. I am passionate about all subjects, but I especially love English and Math! I can help with math up to Precalculus/Trigonometry, Spanish 1-3, AP Computer Science, History, Biology, and grammar basics. Aside from academics, I love playing volleyball with my team, crocheting, and playing the flute!
