Series Details
About
This course will prepare everyone for the AP Biology Exam taken in May. This course is a rigorous course designed to get everyone a 5 on the AP exam, so please put in the work! Each week we will go over some topics that align with the AP Biology curriculum. We will also consistently practice AP Biology Free Response Questions (FRQs) and discuss FRQ task verbs and FRQ rubric guidelines. Homework will be assigned and for the sake of learning please do them. We will review homework and any questions prior to beginning the class materials.
At the end of every Unit, there will be a short assessment given in class to assess your learning along with a Free Response Question.
Remember, bring in your analytical/understanding skills, not your memorization skills! AP Biology is not all about memorizing facts!
Curriculum is based on skill level of learners and will be adapted accordingly.

About the Tutor

Hi I am a high school sophomore currently, I want to help students of all backgrounds achieve their potential and succeed. I like to self-learn topics and master them using free resources like Khan Academy. I completed a self study of the SAT exam and got a score of 1500+ in august after freshman year (2024). I love running, outdoors, computers, math, and biology, if you need something let me know and we can arrange a session! :) September 2024 - Started tutor journey here
