HI! I have always loved helping students hone their history skills and putting them in the best position possible to earn college credit through their AP exams!

I began teaching AP World History in 2003 and It is my passion! I began grading AP exams for the College Board in 2007 and have acted as a Reader, Table Leader, Question Leader, and Exam Leader. Through these positions, I have not only graded tens of thousands of exams, I have also learned awesome strategies that have helped my own students (both in-person and virtual) pass their AP exams at an incredibly high rate. I've even worked on the construction of an AP World review guide for a major publisher!

If your student is looking for section-by-section content help or wants to hone their writing/multiple choice structures and strategies, please don't hesitate to contact me for help! I can help you take your knowledge and skills to the next level.

The WHAP exam is broken down in the following manner: SBMCQ = 40%, DBQ = 25%, SAQ = 20%, LEQ = 15%. My recommendation to all students is that they make sure they are first very solid on the SBMCQ strategies and then progress through the writing elements of the course: DBQ, SAQ, and LEQ. Here are the initial workshops I offer, with subsequent sessions available, as needed.

- SBMCQ Workshop (1.25 hr)
- DBQ Workshop (2 hrs - longer due to the document analysis required)
- SAQ Workshop (1.5 hrs)
- LEQ Workshop (1 hr)

I will work to meet your student’s schedule. Please message me with any questions, and you can book lessons directly through my Calendly link: https://calendly.com/layson-history/tutoring-w-chris

Additionally, I run a comprehensive 8-week group workshop leading up to the May exam that covers the entire curriculum and provides weekly writing and MCQ practice. Please let me know if you'd like more information.

The BEST tutor hands down

We had never tried Wyzant and decided to give it a try for AP World history tutoring. We looked through many profiles & reviews and we contacted Chris. Chris is engaging, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, dedicated and puts in extra time to make sure when they have a lesson that it is a high-yield hour. He has gone out of his way to make sure that our daughter feels comfortable with the material and the AP testing format. He has taught AP World History for many years and really knows the Ins and outs of the AP course/test. He is flexible and will send extra information to help solidify concepts. He has been flexible with our crazy schedule and finds time to make it work. She looks forward to her sessions with Chris because she knows she’s going to feel more confident and have a better understanding of the material after. She is doing excellent in the class and we know the sessions with Chris are helping. We have never used any type of tutoring before and I think Chris has spoiled us. I wish he could tutor for all subjects because it is hard to find people as committed, engaging, caring and talented as Chris. We feel like we hit the tutor jackpot. He is truly one-of-a-kind. The best.

I highly recommend Christopher as your private tutor!

"I rarely write reviews for anything. But this time, I'd like to make an exception for an AP World History tutor I've found from WYZANT. His name is Christopher L. I've found a couple of AP World History private tutors and tried out to see if they can boost my daughter's GPA at school. Unfortunately, her GPA kept B till we found Chris. Just after the first class, my daughter immediately told me that Chris is the best among the other tutors, so although it is kind of late, it's been in the middle of March already, and Chris' schedule was very tight, I decided to switch tutors. Within just a few classes, Chris helped my daughter a lot, and she got an A on the college board exam! Both my daughter and I are very excited! If you want to boost your kid's GPA in the AP World History subject, I highly recommend Christopher as your private tutor.

Excellent tutor - helped with DBQs

Christopher tutored my daughter in AP World History. In one lesson she gained a tremendous amount of confidence in how to answer DBQs. She is now looking forward to her next test because she knows exactly what to do. She is looking forward to taking another lesson from him for areas of content she struggles with. Thank you!

AP World

Chris is an amazing tutor! My daughter enjoys sessions with him. He has helped my daughter tremendously with AP World. Her test grade went from a 61% to a 92% after using Chris. I highly recommend him and we will continue using Chris as well.

Dynamic and engaging tutor!

Chris is an outstanding AP World History tutor! His deep knowledge of historical themes, engaging teaching style, and knack for breaking down complex concepts make every session both informative and enjoyable. He excels at helping students grasp not only the facts but the "why" behind them. When students are seeking to understand tough content, Chris provides personalized strategies, insightful feedback, and incredible support. Students walk away more confident and genuinely excited about history with every session! Highly recommended for anyone aiming to ace AP World History.

THE BEST AP WORLD HISTORY TUTOR!

My son needed extra help with his first AP class and he started to work with Chris. My son has improved exponentially in grasping the material under Chris' guidance. He is patient, interactive, and truly cares. He spends extra time and energy to make sure he understands the material. Chris has in-depth knowledge of the contents and construction of the APWH exam and provides valuable materials that focus on the key concepts, relationships, and vocabulary. My son is performing well in his class and learning how to critically think and understand complex concepts which will foster academic success across all subject matters. Chris is a phenomenal teacher and hand's down, the only tutor to hire. Period.

Extremely knowledgeable and engaging

Chris is extremely knowledgeable and engaging with my son. He checks for understanding throughout the lesson, is very personable, and provides many resources. It’s the 1-1 extra attention my son needed that he doesn’t get in class and helps to truly understand the topic. He’s the best tutor my son has ever had!

Personalized Tutoring

Chris is an outstanding tutor. He understands not only the subject he is teaching, but the student he is teaching it to. He reviewed prior lessons, tests, and notes to identify where and why my son was struggling in class. He established a baseline and foundation to build off of. He also taught my son best practices in test taking that my son will be able to use in his other classes and for years to come. We feel very fortunate to have found Chris.
