Student performance in College preparatory classes is essential in the admission decision and for your teen’s academic and career future.

That is why, at Après-School Tutoring, we help High School students enrolled in Honors or AP Science or Mathematics classes build the confidence they need to tackle challenging coursework and exams. Beyond achieving higher scores, we help students gain a solid foundation for their College studies, develop lifelong learning skills, and build critical-thinking, time management and study skills necessary for college readiness and the academic rigor required at the University level, and beyond. Our personalized services ensure that your teen is not only prepared for their exams but empowered and poised for future academic and professional success.
Our Tutoring Services for Honors and AP Classes
Honors courses are accelerated versions of a class. They typically cover the same curriculum as a "regular version" of that class, but at an accelerated pace and are often tailored for high-achieving students. AP offerings are taught at the college level, use college-level textbooks, and maintain college-level expectations.
