FAQs
The main goal is to move students beyond simply understanding the plot and into performing literary analysis of complex texts. This involves:
- Mastering Literary Devices: Identifying and analyzing the function of techniques like metaphor, simile, irony, syntax, diction, symbolism, and point of view.
- Analyzing Unseen Texts: Training students to quickly and effectively interpret complex poetry and prose passages they have never encountered before, often focusing on works from the 16th to 21st centuries.
- Connecting Form and Meaning: Teaching students how the author's stylistic choices (the form) contribute to the overall message and theme (the meaning) of the work.
No, Online AP English Literature Tutoring is not the same as AP English Language Tutoring, although both are college-level English courses offered through the College Board. They focus on distinct skills, content, and essays.
The multiple-choice section tests sophisticated literary and rhetorical skills. Our tutors work on:
- Pacing and Time Management strategies.
- Identifying rhetorical purpose and function.
- Analyzing and correcting complex grammar and sentence structure errors that appear on the test.
We recommend starting early in the second semester (January/February) to build foundational skills before the review crunch. However, many students benefit from starting at the beginning of the school year to ensure a strong grasp of rhetorical concepts right away, or in the final weeks for intensive exam review and practice test analysis.
Online AP English Literature tutoring directly addresses the challenge of timed literature essays by providing personalized, rubric-focused feedback on your thesis, evidence integration, and analytical commentary. Tutors implement strict pacing drills to help you effectively manage the 40-minute writing limit, teach you to quickly decode unseen passages, and train you to write with the necessary precision and sophistication to earn high scores on the Poetry, Prose, and Literary Argument essays.
