I am a published author who has enjoyed “coaching” our daughter, as she navigated through high school, college and graduate school. I mentor college juniors who are seeking careers in financial services, and I serve as a peer resource to professionals who are transitioning from private industry to the nonprofit sector. Hobbies: reading, cooking, writing, books, music, art, travel
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find the human-environment interaction unit and geopolitics particularly challenging because they require synthesizing concepts across multiple scales—from local to global. Map interpretation and spatial analysis also trip up many students, especially when questions require them to identify patterns across different regions or explain causation rather than just describe what they see. Additionally, the cultural landscape unit demands understanding nuanced connections between cultural practices, economics, and environmental factors, which can feel abstract without guided practice.
FRQs require you to move beyond identifying features on a map—you need to explain processes and support claims with specific examples. The key is practicing with released FRQs while timing yourself strictly, then analyzing high-scoring responses to see how they structure arguments with evidence. Many students lose points by being too vague; tutors can help you develop a template for organizing responses (context, explanation, examples, significance) and identify which geographic concepts apply to different question types, like development questions versus cultural diffusion questions.
Effective map reading starts with understanding what the map is showing—its scale, legend, projection, and what patterns stand out. Students often rush and miss critical details; slowing down to annotate maps (marking clusters, boundaries, anomalies) helps you identify spatial relationships before answering. A tutor can teach you how to extract multiple layers of information from a single map and connect visual patterns to geographic concepts like population distribution, economic zones, or cultural regions, which strengthens both multiple-choice and FRQ responses.
The AP exam rewards specific, relevant examples over generic statements—saying 'urbanization causes environmental problems' scores lower than 'rapid urbanization in Lagos has strained water infrastructure and increased informal settlements.' Effective case studies should span different regions and scales, and you need to understand not just what happened but why and how it connects to broader geographic patterns. Tutors help you build a toolkit of strong examples across development levels, climate zones, and cultural regions, then practice deploying them strategically depending on what the question asks.
AP Geography rewards students who see how development, culture, environment, and geopolitics interconnect rather than treating each unit separately. For example, understanding how colonial history shaped current political boundaries, resource distribution, and cultural identities requires linking the political organization and cultural landscape units. Tutors help you build mental maps of these connections by working through complex scenarios where multiple concepts apply—like analyzing how climate vulnerability, economic development, and geopolitical power dynamics converge in a specific region.
Most students see meaningful improvement with 4-6 weeks of focused preparation, especially if working with a tutor on weak areas like FRQ structure or map interpretation. However, if you're starting significantly below your target score or struggling with foundational concept connections, 8-12 weeks allows time to build deeper understanding and practice across all question types. The improvement depends heavily on consistent practice with released exams, targeted review of weak units, and feedback on your reasoning—not just memorizing facts.
AP Geography anxiety often stems from the timed pressure of analyzing unfamiliar maps and synthesizing concepts quickly. Building confidence comes from practicing with real exam conditions repeatedly—timed multiple-choice sections, FRQs under time pressure, and mixed-format practice tests. Tutors can help you develop a pacing strategy (e.g., spending 60 seconds on each MC question, 25 minutes per FRQ), teach you how to quickly identify what a question is really asking, and work through your specific stress triggers so you can execute your strategy calmly on test day.
Start by taking a full-length practice test under exam conditions, then analyze your wrong answers by unit and question type—you might discover you miss FRQs on development but excel at cultural landscape questions, or struggle specifically with human-environment interaction concepts. Tutors can help you dig deeper into why you're missing questions (Is it concept confusion? Reading the question too quickly? Weak examples?) and create a targeted study plan that focuses on your specific gaps rather than reviewing everything equally. Regular practice tests every 2-3 weeks help you track whether your weak areas are actually improving.
