Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Are you taking AP English Literature or AP English Language soon?  This class will prepare you for the skills you will need to be successful for both of these courses, as well as the exams in May.  In this class we will learn both reading and writing strategies to ensure you have the skills necessary for AP ( Advanced Placement ) level English.  In class, we will practice skills such as annotation, close reading, and finding evidence to prepare you for the tasks you will need to carry out in your class.  We will also work on writing skills such as constructing an essay, how to use evidence, and making your essay sophisticated to prepare for AP exams and assessments.  This class is helpful to students who are soon to take AP courses or exams, as well as students wanting to improve their reading and writing skills in English in general.  ESL friendly.  

Prepare for your test with an AP authorized teacher and experienced AP grader for the College Board!  I have been teaching with AP authorization and grading for the College Board for 17 years.  I can help you understand what graders are looking for in your test answers, as well as all the details of how the test is constructed to help you reach your highest score!  If you are taking AP English Literature, I recommend following this course with my Literary Analysis course.  If you are taking AP English Language, I recommend following this course with my Art of Argument course on Rhetorical Analysis.  

I also offer full year courses at the AP level for each of these subjects to follow if desired, as well as AP review courses starting in March to review and prepare for exams in May.  

From a former student:  "I just wanted to thank you for your help and for accommodating my son's schedule so last minute.  Your help and tutoring was truly invaluable.  He went from a student who questioned his writing to someone who regain the love and confidence in writing. In turn, he scored a 5/5 on the AP lang test.  Again, thank you!"

What to expect from this course:
-Annotation skills and close reading
-discovering new ways to find and use evidence
-strategies for longer pieces
-skills for textual analysis
-essay writing skills to maximize your points

Learning Goals

Students will learn skills of textual analysis, annotation, close reading, and writing strategies to help them be successful in AP English courses and exams.
