Meet NAT's AP tutors
Each tutor below is a named person with a profile you can read before you book. Profiles list the university, test scores, and the AP courses taught. Lia Hansen of Dartmouth lists 5s on AP Chemistry, Biology, English Language, English Literature, and Calculus AB, and Owen Emmons of Duke lists 5s in Chemistry, Calculus, English Literature, and Statistics.
Get in Touch
Start with a friendly, no-pressure chat. Tell us which AP course (or courses) your student is taking, their current grade, and what a 5 would mean for their college applications.

How to choose an AP tutor
Ask for the tutor's score in your course. A tutor who earned a 5 in AP Chemistry knows how that exam rewards answers. NAT profiles list AP scores where the tutor shared them, and some profiles say "top scores" without numbers, so ask.
Ask how free-response practice works. People score the free-response sections, so a tutor should practice against College Board's published scoring guidelines.
Check that sessions follow your class. Tutoring that ignores your teacher's pace can help the exam and hurt the class grade.
Ask about teaching background. Some families want a certified classroom teacher or a former AP Reader. Most NAT AP tutors are university students or recent graduates, and profiles state years of experience only where the tutor provided it.
Compare the terms. Look at package size, expiry, and cancellation rules. NAT packages expire after one year, and cancellations need 48 hours' notice for a full credit.
Start small. Ask for one trial lesson before you buy a package. A guide to choosing a tutor covers the general questions.

The NAT Academic Advantage
Why elite families choose North American Tutors for their most critical academic milestones.
Elite Ivy Tutors
We only hire the top 1% of graduates from Ivy League and elite institutions, many of whom scored 5s on the exact AP exams they now teach.
Proven Results
Our tutors don't just know the subject. They know the AP rubric: how free-response questions are graded, where partial credit lives, and how to budget time across multiple-choice and FRQ sections.
Data-Driven Progress
Weekly progress reports track unit mastery, practice exam scores, and FRQ scoring trends, so parents always know exactly where their student stands heading into May.
AP tutoring compared with other ways to prepare
One-on-one tutoring is the right choice when the gap has a name and a deadline. It is the wrong first step for a student who is already on track and needs only practice, and no provider can promise a score. If that sounds like your student, start with your teacher's office hours and College Board's released free-response questions.
