Class Descriptions

 

AP History

The AP U.S. History and AP World History crash courses provide students with targeted, high-impact preparation that builds on what they’ve learned in school while filling the gaps that most often limit AP Exam performance. Each course emphasizes the advanced historical thinking skills—analysis, argumentation, and contextualization—that drive top scores. Students spend class time reviewing the major developments within the exam’s eight time periods, practicing all essay formats, receiving feedback on their writing, and analyzing highly scored samples. The course strengthens students’ ability to contextualize and demonstrate a complex understanding of historical events.
 

Sessions include:

• Three graded practice tests with detailed feedback

• Multiple-choice strategies tailored to AP-style questions

• Primary & secondary source analysis

• Discussion of major historical developments, patterns, and processes

• Techniques for drawing meaningful connections across eras and regions

• Thesis and argument development

• Effective use of evidence in both short and extended writing

• Feedback on all writing, including LEQs, SAQs, and DBQs

 

Who Should Take the Class: 

• Students enrolled in AP U.S. History or AP World History who want deeper practice and expert guidance

• Students enrolled in Honors U.S. or World History who plan to take the AP Exam and want to master the required skills

​

What makes our AP history classes great? The instructor! Maggie R. graduated from UPenn, concentrating in American history, and loves teaching history. She is a dynamic, high-energy teacher who teaches students how to appreciate and love the nuances, implications, and lessons of history as much as she does. When not teaching, she can be found developing AP History curriculum for various online programs, teaching analytic writing classes, or hiking up a local mountain. 

​

AP English

The AP English Literature and AP English Language crash courses equip students with the analytical and writing skills the AP Exams demand. Through discussion, practice with past AP prompts, close reading, and evaluation of top-scored essays, students learn to analyze complex texts, craft sophisticated arguments, and write with clarity and purpose. Instruction centers on the key differentiator behind strong AP English performance: precise, text-driven analysis that builds toward a compelling, defensible argument about an author’s choices, their effects, and the ideas they illuminate about the human experience.

​

Sessions include:

• AP Language: Critical engagement, rhetorical analysis, and synthesis strategies for nonfiction texts

• AP Literature: Poetry, prose, and literary argument analysis strategies for interpreting meaning, style, and theme within fiction.

• Guided strategies for developing complex, nuanced, and insightful claims

• Techniques for building clear, logical, and well-supported arguments 

• Two scored practice essays for each of the three AP essay types, with detailed, actionable feedback

• Discussion and modeling of top-scoring student essays to illustrate effective strategies and common pitfalls

​

Who Should Take the Class: 

• Students enrolled in AP Literature or AP Language who want to practice more deeply and strengthen their essay-writing skills

• Students enrolled in Honors English who plan to take either AP Exam and want to build the skills needed for success
   

AP Physics C (offered through AcePhysics.org)

The AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism and AP Physics C: Mechanics crash courses ensure students master every major topic, strengthen their conceptual foundations, and learn how to solve the exact kinds of problems that appear on the AP exam.

​

Sessions include:

• Key physics concepts and how they connect

• AP-style practice problems

• Free-response questions (FRQs) from past exams

• Proven strategies for speed, clarity, and accuracy

• Step-by-step solutions explained clearly

 

Who Should Take the Class: 

• Students enrolled in Physics AP C who seek additional guided practice. 

• Students enrolled in Physics Honors who plan to take either AP Exam and want to build the skills needed for success.
