Dedicated Private AP English Literature and Composition Tutoring Online
Working with a certified AP English Literature and Composition tutor can be a great way to increase your self-confidence heading into your exam. If you're concerned about the logistics of attending in-person study sessions, Varsity Tutors has created a Live Learning Platform that facilitates study sessions anywhere with a stable internet connection.

- The flexibility to choose your own learning environment
- Every session is recorded automatically for future reference
- Integrated practice questions to facilitate collaborative work with your instructor

Boost Your AP English Literature and Composition Score
A private instructor can help you with every aspect of the AP English Literature and Composition Exam. Section I consists of five reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions.
Your instructor can show you how to jot down important information so you don't have to reference the passage every time you go to double-check something. Your tutor can also teach you how to rule out incorrect answer choices if you're stumped. Section II is comprised of three writing prompts, the last of which requires a literary analysis of one or more works read in the course. Your instructor can review each book you've read and provide tips on which works might work best for specific types of prompts.
Best Ways To Prep For AP English Literature and Composition
AP English Literature and Composition is all about understanding and evaluating fiction and writing effective argumentative essays supporting your position. These skills can be difficult to develop on your own, but thankfully an AP English Literature and Composition tutor can help you out.
For example, your academic coach can show you how to work from an outline to give your arguments a logical structure readers can easily follow. They can also review the rhetorical techniques fiction authors use to get their point across, making it easier to interpret works. Unfortunately, software-based test prep options are ill-suited to the type of creative analysis demanded by your course.
How much does an AP English Literature and Composition tutor cost?
The price of online AP English Literature and Composition tutoring depends on several different factors, including how often you meet your instructor and the specific concepts you'd like to review. For example, a student who wants a tutor to help them cram the day before their AP Exam would pay a different hourly rate than somebody who arranges regular weekly meetings with their instructor.
If you're on a budget, we can also enroll you in a Varsity Tutors AP English Literature and Composition class or set you up with group tutoring to deliver premium value for your money. Please reach out to a friendly Educational Director online or by phone to discuss more specific pricing information.

How can a AP English Literature and Composition tutor help you?
The AP English Literature and Composition exam is one of the most difficult exams on which to achieve a perfect 5. Not only do you have to be well versed in the traditional canon of English literature, covering everything from Chaucer to Fitzgerald, but you have to be ready to tackle both essay and multiple-choice questions that test your ability to recall, interpret, and expand upon key concepts, themes, motifs, and character traits. Although you may already be enrolled in an AP English Literature class at school, preparing for the AP English Literature exam with a private tutor could further help you boost that score toward a coveted 5.

Each tutor has extensive experience in teaching effective test-taking strategies that are tailored to the AP English Literature exam.
