What makes Yasmin different from other AP Lang tutors in Miami?

Yasmin is an Official AP Exam Reader — she scores real AP exams for CollegeBoard. She has read thousands of student FRQ responses and applied the rubric in real time. Combined with a B.A. in English Literature and six advanced degrees, she brings grader-level insight to every session that no other AP Lang tutor in Miami can offer.

Does Yasmin help with the multiple choice section too?

Yes. The AP Lang MCQ section tests reading comprehension and rhetorical analysis in passage-based questions. Yasmin covers the reasoning strategies that improve MCQ accuracy alongside the FRQ essay work.

My student writes well. Why are they still scoring a 2 or 3?

This is the most common situation in AP Lang. Students who write well in their English classes often underperform on AP Lang because the exam does not reward good writing generally — it rewards writing that matches the rubric's specific criteria. A strong writer who does not understand what the synthesis, rhetorical analysis, and argument rubrics are actually measuring will consistently leave points on the table.

Is tutoring available in person in Miami?

Yes. In-person AP Lang tutoring sessions are available across Miami including Coral Gables, Brickell, Coconut Grove, and Pinecrest. Online sessions are available to students anywhere in the country.

The Three FRQs

AP Lang Has Three Essays. Each One Is Scored Differently.

Most students write all three essays the same way. That is why they keep losing points. Yasmin teaches the distinct scoring logic for each FRQ type — so students stop applying argument essay thinking to a rhetorical analysis prompt.

Synthesis Essay

Students read 6 to 7 sources and write an argument using at least 3. Graders reward a clear arguable thesis, effective source integration that goes beyond summary, and commentary that connects evidence to the argument.

What Yasmin Teaches: Source selection strategy, evidence integration vs. quotation dumping, commentary that earns the sophistication point.

Rhetorical Analysis

Students analyze how an author builds an argument using rhetorical choices. Graders penalize students who only identify devices without explaining their effect. The analysis must connect choice to purpose to effect.

What Yasmin Teaches: The choice-purpose-effect framework, how to avoid device listing, what "sophistication" actually means on this rubric.

Argument Essay

Students take a defensible position on a given statement and support it with evidence and reasoning. The most common mistake: treating this like a five-paragraph essay. Graders reward complexity, not structure.

What Yasmin Teaches: Building a defensible thesis, using specific evidence strategically, and earning the complexity/sophistication row.
