Classes

Reading, writing and thinking skills that last a lifetime, and that carry students all the way through university application season.

English Literature

Grades 2–12
In person or online

Angela’s Literature classes focus on strengthening analytical and comprehension skills. Without a strong English foundation, students will find it extremely difficult during university application season. With a range of challenging novels, short stories, poems, and classical pieces, the course aims to consolidate the student’s skill set. Angela’s materials are designed to be two grade levels above the student’s current grade level (example: a Grade 8 student would be reading and writing at a Grade 10 level). Classes are 1.5–2 hours in length.

Creative Writing

Grades 2–12
In person or online

Angela’s specialization is creative writing, as this skill is rarely taught in school. Angela believes that creative writing is just as important as academic writing and is more challenging to succeed at. Her creative writing classes focus on teaching a range of creative genres. This course is designed to teach her students the tools they will be using during the university application season. It is a skill set that is gained over time – introducing this to students early on can allow them to have a head start! Classes are 1.5–2 hours in length.

AP Literature

Grades 10–12
In person or online

AP Literature is one of the hardest APs to accomplish and the toughest humanities AP. The test is designed for students who are extremely adept at reading and writing. Angela’s familiarity with the test, along with her large range of literary expertise, allows her to pace and choose the best selection of material for her students. Angela herself received a 5 on the exam during her high school years and studied on her own. Her students have received 5s and 4s. Classes are 3 hours in length.

AP Language

Grades 10–12
In person or online

AP Language is one of the most writing-intensive APs, and it asks students to read like critics and write like persuaders. The exam centres on three essays – rhetorical analysis, argument, and synthesis – along with close reading of nonfiction such as speeches, essays, letters, and articles. Angela’s background in both creative and academic writing allows her to show students how authors make deliberate rhetorical choices, and how to build a clear line of reasoning supported by evidence. These are the same skills students will rely on when they write their university applications. Classes are 3 hours in length.

AP Psychology

Grades 10–12
In person or online

AP Psychology is known to be a fun course, especially content-wise; however, it is very intensive on memorization. Like any AP, there is a big workload. Angela’s major in Psychology, along with her lab experience, allows her to break down concepts for her students. Angela herself received a 5 on the exam during her high school years and studied on her own. Her students have all earned 5s and 4s. Classes are 3 hours in length.
