Tutoring and Online Resources

For AP US and World History Students

AP classes can be a challenge! Many students struggle because:

They need to adapt old study routines to meet new expectations.
They find that old organizational and time management strategies no longer work.
They don't know how to make sense of an onslaught of content.
They have never been asked to memorize content.

These challenges are way more common than you think! There are thousands of people who are in the exact same situation.

I started tutoring because I was tired of seeing students flounder. I want every student to feel supported and confident in their course. I believe every student is capable of developing new skills, habits, and knowledge during the AP process.

Not Sure Where To Start?

I want every student to have access to resources that are aligned with the AP curriculum, science-based, and affirming. If you're not sure where to start, these resources are designed to help students excel in a way that feels good and builds confidence.
