Enroll in AP with Mr.G

Get the best in AP History content and pass the test!

In this Course

In this course, you’re going to have access to all of the content you need to prepare for and pass the AP US History test. I have built this course from scratch and aligned it to the content covered on the AP test.

In addition to 100 PowerPoint presentations, you’re going to get a video of me explaining each PowerPoint presentation. In these, I add depth and fun to the content which will help the content come to life. I’ve divided the course into ten units, each of which has ten sub-units for a total of 100 presentations. Each of the ten main units also has one or more quizzes which students can take. Each quiz question will refer the student back to the specific presentation where that question was covered thus allowing students to make quick and meaningful adjustments in real-time.

The course has videos of me explaining how to use the site, where to start with each unit, what to look out for, themes to investigate, and so much more. I have purposefully not included so much that students feel overwhelmed – I have included a thoughtful layout for students such that they feel empowered to work through the course, identify their areas of growth, make adjustments, and keep going all the way to the AP test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why AP with Mr. G?

I love this content and I’m in it everyday. I’m that person who walks around reading books about various topics in U.S. History. I care deeply about American History and the way in which it is taught. Therefore, I take it seriously when I have the opportunity to teach students the content I love in the way I believe it should be taught. In this course, you’re going to have a teacher who brings the content to life, incorporates the occasional joke, and makes the content make sense. My hope is that your student is encouraged to do well in the course but then to research topics they find interesting on their own afterward.

Why is the AP US History (APUSH) test so difficult?

The test is made up of three components – multiple-choice and short-answer questions, long-essay questions, and a document-based question. It’s designed to test the student’s ability to answer questions across a wide spectrum of information (multiple-choice section), to follow a rubric which is not provided to explain a long response to a theme-based question (long-essay question), and to use different pieces of evidence to answer a prompt (document-based question). They’re expected to do all this on content which is generally considered dry so many students struggle to make connections and demonstrate their knowledge. This makes the course difficult and is why your child needs this course!

Why take an AP History Course?

Taking an AP course, and passing it, demonstrates to a college that you are capable of mastering both the breadth and the seriousness of the content you will experience in college. In short, it shows the college that you are ready for college. Most students fail the AP US History exam so most students cannot demonstrate that readiness to the college they want to attend. By taking this course, and passing the test, you will position yourself ahead of the other students applying for admission to the same college you’re applying to.

How long is the duration of the course?

This course is self-paced. It can be done in as quickly as one month. The length is really up to you. I believe the learning should be jam-packed and immersive so I recommend anywhere from 6-10 weeks to work through the entire course but it is self-paced.

How do I enroll? What happens after enrollment?

You can enroll by clicking on The Course and signing up. When you enroll, you don’t get a boring text response. You get a ton of energy, excitement, and positivity coming your way! You’ll get login information and access right away to the course. Then, I hope you jump right in and get started!

Are there any additional tools or requirements for this class?

There are no additional tools or requirements for this class. All presentations and videos are hosted offline so there are no links to worry about. Everything is built right into the site.

Is there any financial support available for this class?

This course aligns to CollegeBoard and falls under “curriculum” so ESA funding is available and easily obtained. If you live in a state where ESA funding is accessible, please submit this course for funding. If you need help with this, please see the “Financial Aid” tab or reach out to me at [email protected]

What happens if I don’t pass?

If a student works through the course and does not pass the AP test, they will get to enroll in my more hands-on course for FREE which offers more guidance and is coming out soon. This will give them an even better chance at passing the test the next time.

What if I need assistance with technology?
There shouldn’t be any technology assistance needed as all you need is an internet connection. That being said, if you need help of any kind, please email me at [email protected]
Besides the PowerPoint and videos, what evaluative tools are there to measure success?

This course has PowerPoints which are stored as PDF along with videos walking you through each one. Each of the ten units has quizzes, short-answer examples with explanations, Long Essay Questions (LEQs), and the key concepts from CollegeBoard. There are three exams; one on units 1-5, one on units 6-10, and one comprehensive exam. These are designed to test your knowledge and, more importantly, point out areas for growth. In short, you will have so much practice as you work through this course that the actual exam should feel very familiar and comfortable for you.
