Advanced Placement Tutoring FAQ
The College Board's Advanced Placement (or AP) classes give high-performing high school students the opportunity to earn college credit by taking college-level classes during high school. Each May, students take the AP exam for their particular class(es), and if you earn a score of 3 or higher, you can earn college credit at almost all American colleges, along with many others around the world. With so much at stake, Advanced Placement tutoring makes a lot of sense, and Varsity Tutors can help you find the right tutor for you.

Arts, 5 courses
English, 2 courses
History and social sciences, 9 courses

That's why working with someone who understands your learning needs and is experienced in Advanced Placement prep could make all the difference to your future.
