Reviews from Students and Parents

“This class has been one of my favorites this year. Aside from the fascinating material, in-class discussions were insightful, and the textbook was surprisingly engaging. I feel well-prepared for the AP Exam, but more importantly, I have come away from this course with a deeper understanding of European history, as well as a greater appreciation for how it affects the current world. The knowledge, teacher, and live classes are well worth the hours of work!”

“I really loved taking this course. I spent more time on it (as it was my only AP class) than any other class this year, but it was also my favorite of the year. The teacher was amazing – super engaging and fun in class and interactive with comments and questions from students, both in the classroom and out. There was a wide variety of study resources provided that helped with both learning and practicing the material, and we prepared for the AP exam throughout the whole year. Overall, the class was super fun and very educational all at the same time!”
