AP English Language & Literature Tutoring

Both AP English Language and Literature can provide a bedrock for student’s success as readers and writers. Both courses focus on the invaluable skills of close reading, analytical thinking, sentence and essay compositions, and synthesizing multiple pieces of information into a single idea.

While the courses can establish a students’ abilities to be capable consumers and communicators of information, individual classes can fall short of this potential for a variety of reasons.
