includedClass Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
This is a weekly AP/Honors/IB/Regular US Government tutoring session that will help US Government students be successful both in the class and on the exam. We will address any concepts students need assistance with, homework help, and much needed spiral review. Themes/concepts covered in class are government structures, branches of government, US Constitution & Amendments, electoral processes, and more. My teaching approach for US Government is a combination of light lecture and conversation to make sure student both understand the concepts and how those concepts apply to them. The exam is in May 2025, which means students need keep the new knowledge they gain now fresh in May.
