"My name is Trevor, and I currently teach AP World History: Modern to the students in our Pre-IB program and IB Geography SL/HL to those in our Diploma Program (DP). I attended the AP exam reading for 2024, where I graded student responses for the May 2024 exam. I graduated with my BA in History from the University of Central Florida and am finishing my thesis hours for my MA in Public History. I am a former IB graduate with my IB Diploma, so I know what it is like to go through the DP from the student's perspective.

My lessons work best when focusing on the standards of the AP Exam. For the best tutoring experience, we will concentrate on short-answer questions (SAQs), long essay questions (LEQs), document-based questions (DBQs), and multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Writing makes up 60% of the exam score and is where I can assist best, although we can work on MCQ practice as long as they are to the standards of the AP exam.

Please note that my expertise is helping students get a higher score on the AP Exam, although I understand that for some students, their grade in their class matters more. This will not be an issue if your teacher grades their class to the standards of the AP Exam; however, if your teacher uses other proprietary methods to grade student achievement, then our lessons will not be as effective. This is especially problematic if your teacher does not use AP-style MCQ tests such as textbook-specific recall questions, vocab questions, or any other question that is not standards-based and stimulus-based.

When reaching out to set a first-time session, it is beneficial and highly recommended that you list the following information or have them available during the first lesson so I can better understand where you are academically: what textbook do you use for your class, PSAT score (if available), previous AP classes with scores earned (if available), what unit you are currently learning, and what type of assistance you are looking for." less...
