About

This series will go over the basics of writing APUSH LEQs (Long Essay Questions) and DBQs (Document Based Questions). LEQs make up about 15% of the total APUSH exam score, however, understanding the basics of LEQs is the foundation for the writing section (including DBQs and SAQs), which altogether make up 60% of the exam. This series will hopefully increase your confidence in writing essays by providing personalized feedback from a five scorer (me!) and plenty of practice.

Before going into this series, you should have some basic knowledge of US History (i.e. you know what the Revolutionary War was), but no knowledge of specific details (dates, unit knowledge) is required. You should learn those in your class -- this series is meant to supplement your learning to help those who feel particularly weak with writing, not give lectures. You should also have access to a writing software (i.e. google docs) to take notes and to write your own essays. You should expect to write ~2-3 full essays within the span of this series, most likely Document Based Questions because those make up the larger portion of the exam. You will have homework, which may include writing a full essay.

Please come into this series willing to learn and participate. This series also works best if you go through it consistently -- please only sign up if you're willing to do the work and attend every session for the next seven weeks!

View Profile

Hello! My name is Evangeline and I am a High School Senior in the state of Virginia. I want to be a high school math teacher (or college professor) one day and would love to help in any way I can. I can answer any questions up to precalculus! I earned 100% averages in Geometry, Algebra 2, and Precalculus, and I'm taking Calculus this year. I've also taken AP Statistics, Honors Physics, Integrated Math, and Algebra 1 (duh), and would be happy to answer any questions about those subjects as well!

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
