AP Research is a unique advanced research course that is taken by students at the high school level. Students who take this class will spend a year developing and researching a question or issue that is of interest to them. This year-long course culminates in a final portfolio and a 4,000 - 5,000-word research paper that must be presented orally. Additionally, students will have to present an oral defense to their final product. If you're taking AP Research, you may be interested in getting some extra help with your coursework. One of the best ways to get this help is to work with an AP Research tutor. If AP Research tutoring interests you, then consider reaching out to Varsity Tutors to get started with the process.
In order to successfully complete your final AP Research project, you will need to demonstrate knowledge and ability in the following areas:
- Research methodology
- Ethical research practices
- Analyzing and synthesizing information from multiple sources
- Public speaking on an academic topic
High school AP Research tutoring is a great way to gain the skills you need to reach your full potential with your coursework. Varsity Tutors can connect you with an AP Research tutor who can work with you in a one-on-one setting. Your tutor can help you with the topics that you're struggling with the most and help you solidify your abilities in the topics you already know. Private tutoring differs from traditional classroom learning in that your needs always remain the center of attention when you work with a tutor. This can have the effect of making your entire learning process more effective and efficient than would be possible without a tutor.
