Standardized Test Prep

Personalized and supportive coaching for students preparing for SAT/ACT and AP History exams. 

The Process

To help your teen master all relevant material covered on the standardized tests,  review sessions are directly informed by the structure and content of the exams.

Students gain hands-on practice with sample questions and learn essential techniques to manage time, approach challenging questions, and avoid common pitfalls.

 We work together to strengthen attention,  manage stress and build emotional resilience to optimize test results, so your student can remain calm and centered and confident on test day.

AP History Exam Prep:
APUSH,  AP EURO, AP WORLD

The AP History Exams (APUSH,  AP EURO and AP World) all have the same structure and assess the same historical thinking and writing skills. Thus, the same study strategies apply, regardless of the exam being taken.   Learn how to interpret the specific wording of the different question types (from multiple choice to the various essay questions) and how to most effectively demonstrate proficiency in all areas.
