⭐⭐ New to Outschool learners, use code to receive 20 dollars (20$) off your first class on Outschool. This is in my profile :) ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ NOTE: All of my students who took this class obtained 4 or 5s on AP biology exam. ⭐ If you miss the class, you can access all lecture recordings from the classroom page within 2-3 hours, so you can always watch the recorded videos. Welcome to our AP Biology Review Class! I will help your learner in solidifying your understanding of critical concepts, mastering exam strategies, and problem-solving skills for FRQ on AP biology exam. This curriculum allows for in-depth coverage of AP Biology topics with a focus on multiple-choice and free response questions. Students can further practice and review outside of class, and you can adjust the content and pacing based on the progress of your students and your specific class needs. How is your class structured? The course is organized into 15 weekly sessions, each dedicated to a specific topic or unit from the AP Biology curriculum. Each week, you'll engage with practice FRQs, receive detailed feedback, and have the opportunity to discuss and refine your answers. How will you teach? I will guide you through the process of breaking down complex questions, identifying key concepts, and structuring high-scoring responses. You’ll participate in interactive discussions, analyze sample answers, and learn strategies for improving your writing under exam conditions. What's your teaching style? My teaching style is interactive and supportive, focusing on active learning and critical thinking. I aim to create a collaborative environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. How much will learners get to interact with you? You’ll have regular opportunities to interact with me through live sessions, where we’ll discuss FRQ strategies, review your responses, and tackle challenging questions together. Additionally, I’ll provide personalized feedback on your written work, ensuring you understand how to improve each time.
Learning Goals
The students will be able to preview AP biology curriculum prior to the upcoming school year.
