Certified AP English Language and Composition Tutor in New York, NY
Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention. I also think that learning should be an enjoyable experience and not feel like a chore which is why I teach in an interactive and exciting manner.

Private In-Home and Online AP English Language and Composition Tutoring in New York City, NY
Receive personally tailored AP English Language and Composition lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.
How can a AP English Language and Composition tutor help you?
The AP English Language and Composition exam tests students’ mastery of the style, grammar, and rhetoric of the English Language, in addition to the sophistication and rigor with which they can analyze passages of prose nonfiction. Unlike other standardized tests in reading or English you may have taken, the AP English Language exam seeks to measure your ability to succeed in a freshman college writing seminar. Because of the complex analysis of prose required by this course, as well as its emphasis on having a clear, mature writing style, you may consider employing a guide to help you through your AP English Language course and AP exam preparation. At Varsity Tutors, we offer targeted AP English Language tutoring options, designed to address the unique facets of this course and exam with which students struggle most.
Your tutor can help you learn to read a text closely, paying attention to the structure of the prose as well as its content. Bolstering such skills can help you achieve success on the AP English Language exam, as the multiple-choice questions are based on passages that require a nuanced and deep understanding of the author’s style, purpose, and audience. Not only can your tutor teach you how to read critically; a tutor can help you learn how to combine active reading with proven test-taking strategies that can give you an edge as you head into your AP English Language and Composition exam.
