"Meredith was beyond fantastic at helping me write better essays for my AP in US History! She was organized in her approach to dissecting the rubric, easy to understand, a lot of fun to work with, and very knowledgeable. The skills were broken down in advance, and in a format that was extremely easy to understand. This is one of the great keys to her method's success. She gives very personal attention to each student's needs and is very supportive. She helps you believe that you can do it even if you don't think that you can. There is no doubt in my mind that if you work with Meredith and know the material then you will certainly be able to get a 5."

"Due to an inexperienced AP teacher, I found myself completely unprepared the April before my AP European History exam. I didn't know what material to focus on, and was clueless about the rigid structure of the essays. I found Meredith, and she began to help me right away with improving my essays by giving me precise feedback on what I was doing wrong and what I needed to fix to get higher scores. She was extremely patient and helpful throughout the entire process, and was flexible in working with me over the phone and online to quickly help me reach my goals. If I ever had questions on new material, she was an encyclopedia of European history, and the passion she had for the subject made it exciting to learn even in a stressful circumstance. I went from being doubtful of passing the exam to getting a 5 in six weeks, and there is no way I could have done so without her."

“Meredith was amazing to work with and she really takes the time to give each individual feedback and her full attention. Also, she understands the test really well since she is a grader, so she usually knows what they are looking for and she is super helpful for both the class and for the test.”

— Wesley J from California

"Meredith's years of experience in teaching and AP scoring are immensely useful to anyone preparing for an AP exam. She knows exactly what graders look for, and she is not afraid to give honest feedback that will improve not only your AP essay skills but your writing overall. I worked with her on AP European History and AP United States History and got fives on both tests without having taken either class -- a testament to the effectiveness of her instruction."

"I’ve always loved history, but Meredith turned this love of mine into a passion. Her teaching style is so immersive and dynamic that you are actively absorbing seemingly impossible AP information without even realizing it. The beginning of my junior year, every time someone so much as uttered the letters ‘DBQ’, you could be sure that my groan was the loudest in the classroom. Yet, through Meredith’s teaching, within 2 months I was writing full scoring DBQs in 40 minutes and without any frustration. A year later, I bet I can still write a full scoring DBQ because of what she taught me! The most amazing thing to me was that it wasn’t just AP Euro that I was excelling in, but also AP US History all thanks to her AP teaching. On the day of my AP exam, I felt exhausted and defeated considering I had to go straight from taking the APUSH exam to the AP Euro exam, and I was sure I wouldn’t do well. However, once I read the first question my attitude completely shifted. Meredith’s teaching method had prepared me so well for what that exam asked of me that day, and after 2 history AP exams in a row, I scored a 4 on my AP Euro exam. Thank you so much!!!!"

“I would highly recommend Meredith for AP US or AP Euro history tutoring.  Before Meredith, My older Daughter got an A in her high school AP Euro class, but bombed the Exam.  We didn't realize how different the content was, and how deficient the teacher was.  Meredith tutored her before the AP US history Exam and she aced it.  My younger daughter used her for AP Euro and did well in the class as well as the exam.  We are coming back for more tutoring this coming year for US History.   Meredith is very accommodating, and neither daughter minded the extra work because it is so helpful.  Other kids at their school have used Meredith and also excelled in class and on the exams.  Money very well spent!!.”

— Wendy from California

"Meredith is a gifted and compassionate teacher whose systematic and detailed approached was invaluable in preparing our daughter for her first AP exam. She has the ability to focus and organize her students so they are successful come exam time. Her experienced approach to essay writing was extremely helpful. All students could benefit greatly from her talented tutoring!"

— A.C. from California

“Unfortunately, while AP courses are standardized, the teaching of those classes among various high schools is not.  Fortunately, we found Meredith online and depended on her experience and knowledge with the challenging material of European History.  Having access to a teacher that really knows the material and how to prepare for the AP exam early on, was an essential strategy for us and we couldn’t have been happier with our results.”
