Many students struggle with abstract economic concepts like aggregate demand, monetary policy mechanisms, and how different economic variables interact with each other. The course also requires strong reading comprehension to analyze economic scenarios and policy impacts, and students often find it challenging to apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations. Additionally, the pace of an AP course can feel fast for middle schoolers who are new to college-level material, making it easy to fall behind if concepts aren't reinforced regularly.

In your first session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of macroeconomic concepts, identify which topics are giving you the most trouble, and learn about your learning style and goals. This might involve reviewing recent classwork, discussing specific units you're struggling with, or taking a diagnostic quiz to pinpoint knowledge gaps. From there, the tutor will create a personalized plan to address your needs, whether that's building foundational understanding, improving test-taking skills, or preparing for the AP exam.

A tutor can help you master the content tested on the exam, teach you strategic approaches to multiple-choice and free-response questions, and build your confidence with timed practice tests. They'll help you identify which economic concepts you understand deeply and which ones need more review, then focus your study time efficiently. Regular practice with real AP exam questions, combined with feedback on your answers, significantly improves both your understanding and your ability to perform under timed conditions.

The ideal frequency depends on your current level and goals. Students who are struggling with foundational concepts often benefit from weekly or twice-weekly sessions to build confidence and catch up with the class. If you're already keeping up but want to deepen your understanding or prepare for the AP exam, one session per week is typically sufficient. Your tutor can recommend a schedule based on your specific needs and can adjust it as you progress.
