About

Are you taking AP U.S. Government and Politics this fall or self studying and want to feel confident from day one? This summer course is your head start.

Led by a 5-scorer on the AP Gov exam, this weekly group meets for interactive, hour-long sessions that break down the most important ideas, documents, and court cases from Units 1–5 of the course.

Each session focuses on key topics in the College Board curriculum, containing all the units from the foundations of American democracy to political participation. We’ll explore how power is divided in the U.S., how civil liberties are protected (or not), how Congress works (or doesn’t), and how voting, media, and interest groups shape our political system.

Confused about checks and balances? Federalism feel fuzzy? Can't tell your Federalist 10 from your Brutus 1? You're not alone.

Regardless of your prior knowledge, this group is here to help you build a solid foundation — one clause, case, and concept at a time.

Hi, I’m Matthew – welcome to my profile! I run comprehensive SAT and AP prep courses designed to help students at every level build confidence and achieve their goals. I serve as a Senior Tutor in the SAT Prep Subworld, and I place highly on tutoring leaderboards in SAT Prep, History and the whole platform. I’ve guided students to SAT scores in the 1400s and 1500s, and I focus on creating clear, structured study plans that make test prep feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Outside of tutoring, I play baseball, support the Chicago Cubs and Bears, and play video games. I’m also involved in BPA, Debate, YMSL, NHS, and Mu Alpha Theta/Math Honors Society. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions!
