AP Prep Classes

Why enroll in AP Prep classes?

AP tests cover an entire year of material. Preparing for them is always a challenge. And it’s been even tougher this year, with the pandemic disrupting our classrooms and making it harder to learn.

We’re here to help — with our AP Prep courses. These combine our subject-specific expertise with our proven test-prep strategies. We don’t try to cover every single detail. We just focus on the skills and concepts that you really need to know, expertly explained by our world-class teachers. Our small, seminar-style classes offer plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. And we offer lots of extra help and practice on the most difficult components of the test – like the dreaded FRQs.

Schedule & Class Structure

Students will review core skills and concepts with a special focus on the AP content leading up to the exams in May.

Throughout the classes, students will complete practice tests, review major concepts, develop strategies for essays and free response questions, and receive personalized feedback on their progress. All AP Prep classes are taught by experienced teachers who are experts in their fields.

We are always adding new classes to our lineup of subject offerings, but these are some of our most recent classes. For those subjects that we don’t offer a class for, we suggest our tutoring service.

Instructors & Approach

Classes are taught by experienced instructors, many of whom not only have graduate degrees but also have extensive experience in teaching at the college level, making them uniquely qualified to implement our skills-based approach. Students leave our classrooms enriched not with tricks or shortcuts, but instead with better reading, writing, and math skills, contributing to better overall academic performance and engagement.

Location

We offer in-person classes at multiple sites across in the Carmel Valley Office, and the 4S Ranch Office. The same program is also available online for students who are not local, unable to make class, or simply prefer online learning.

It All Starts with a Consultation

Because classes at Hamilton are not “one-size-fits-all,” we request that students and families interested in our courses or services schedule a complimentary 45-minute initial counseling session. There is no charge for this session, and absolutely no pressure to sign up for classes or services.

The initial counseling appointment lets us meet students and learn about their individual academic lives and learning styles. It also helps all of us – students, parents, and Hamilton Education – begin long-term planning to help students reach their goals.
