About
Welcome to the United States Senate, the upper house of Congress! In this scaled-down version of what has been called the "greatest deliberative body in the world," learners will become senators and experience the American legislative process.
I hosted this course last summer and received positive feedback. It is meant to be both entertaining and educational and can be a helpful supplement to courses like AP US Government and Politics. Depending on turnout, features like committees may be added or removed.
Will you join a political party or stay independent? Will you compromise with other senators to get laws passed or stand your ground and stay true to what you believe in? Will you engage in fiery debate on the Senate floor or stay quiet and trade votes in the shadows? It's all up to you in the heart of our nation's capital.
Tutor Qualifications
I worked as a page in the US Senate last semester, and I'm involved in local politics and elections. I also passed both AP US History and US Government and Politics with 5s last year.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Missing a session or two is perfectly okay, but too many absences and the voters may start to get angry.

Hi! I'm a high schooler in New York State. I got a 1600 on the SAT and I'm ready to help with either section on the test. I also love economics, English, and everything in between. It's great to be on schoolhouse!
