Nice to meet you. I am Ken L. I have been in education for 32 years serving varios roles. I have been tutoring with Wyzant for seven years. I have a Ph.D in Government and Politics; Ph.D. in History; and a Ph. D. in Education. I have over 500 hours tutoring with Wyzant.

My students who took the 2025 APUSH exam administration, my tutoring students averaged a 4.4 (national average was 3.00) with 100% of my students scoring a 3 or above (national average was 72%).
For the 2025 AP Government exam, my students averaged a 4.3 (national average was 2.62). For the AP European History Exam in 2025, my tutoring students scored a 5.

I "specialize" in preparing students for the AP US Government and Politics as well as the AP U.S. History Exams. I am up to date on the most recent changes in both the APUSH, AP Government and Politics and AP European History exams. I work with students throughout the year as supplemental instruction as well as test preparation.

I look forward to hearing from you on how I can help you achieve success.

Outstanding and patient tutor

We had a fantastic experience with Ken for online AP Government tutoring for my 9th-grade daughter. She was initially overwhelmed by the pace and complexity of the course, but with Ken’s guidance, everything changed. Even through a screen, Ken managed to create a highly engaging and interactive learning environment. The structure of each session was clear and organized, which helped my child stay on track and absorb the material more effectively. What stood out most was how well Ken broke down complex topics into simple, relatable explanations that actually stuck. He also provided tons of helpful resources, study guides, practice FRQs, and reviews customized to my daughter's learning style. Thanks to Ken's support, my daughter is able to keep up in a college-level class and her confidence grew tremendously. If you’re looking for an experienced, tech-savvy, and patient AP Government tutor for online sessions, I highly recommend Ken. The convenience of online tutoring combined with such high-quality instruction was a game-changer for us.

Wonderful AP Gov tutor

My twins met with Ken for the first time this past weekend. We had to move the time around due to the girls' schedule and he was very kind and flexible and easy to work with on this account. He was very knowledgeable about the subject and he is familiar with the actual content of what will be tested on the exam itself. He was organized in that after the first lesson, he sent us a summary of what was covered and he will be sending College Board Practice questions and FRQs to help them get ready for the test. He is a wonderful tutor!

Very Knowledgeable and very patient

Ken gives excellent lessons that explain the topics in a very lovely and understanding way. He answered all the questions I had and didn't move on without making sure I understood what we had just gone over.

AP Goverment & Politics

My son is taking AP Gov & Politics class in his Sophomore . He needed some help before taking AP exam. My son was enjoying study with Ken and he asked me to study more with Ken tutor. My son's schedule was so busy because of his sports team but Ken tried hard to make time for him even during a holiday. Ken is very knowledgeable and passionate tutor. I'm so glad that we found the great tutor for our son. I appreciate your help, Ken!

Knowledgeable and responsive tutor

Ken is helping my daughter with AP Government and Politics. Ken is knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, and he's always quick to respond. He was also quite thorough in setting up a space where my daughter could access the materials that were covered during the session. This is helpful so that she can go back and review the information. We're looking forward to additional sessions with Ken, and we're glad we found him.
