I mentored all of my previous students achieve the score of 5 on AP Computer Science A, an AP exam that is critical towards a successful college application for Computer Science. I taught Data Structures (CS 61B) at UC Berkeley as a Teaching Assistant for 4 semesters, and served as Head Teaching Assistant. The language taught in that course is Java, and includes the breadth of the AP curriculum.

I've been tutoring and teaching Calculus for over 25 years. It is a beautiful subject, but I also understand that it can be intimidating or even overwhelming. I will work with you to identify the specific skills that need improvement, and recommend resources you can use to help you improve. I will also make sure that you are able to come away from our work together with a deep understanding of the material, not just a set of memorized equations. Of course, AP courses do come with a big test at the end, and I am intimately familiar with the format and types of questions found on both AP Calculus exams. We will work together on questions from prior exams, and build on those problems to develop your study plan. By the time test day comes around, you will know what to expect—and how to handle it.

As a current Teaching Assistant for Stanford's introductory computer science courses, I have a strong foundation in guiding students through complex material. My experience extends beyond the classroom, having mentored 60 students in coding languages like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS through the Code to Success program. I am passionate about helping students excel in their AP Computer Science exams by providing personalized strategies and support. Whether you need help with understanding difficult concepts or developing effective study habits, I'm here to help you achieve your academic goals. Let's connect and create a plan to boost your AP exam performance!

During my 5 years of teaching high school math in New York City, I taught 150 students in AP Statistics & AP Calculus.

My favorite AP tests are the Micro and Macro. I have been teaching this combination of tests since 2020. Having trained as an economist and attained my Master's in Economics from USC, I believe knowledge of economics is vital to every citizen-consumer; and being a proponent of this subject makes me an especially passionate tutor in this subject. I promise to break down the material visually with real life examples that will make this often dry topic come alive. I've studied most of the recent practice exams, multiple choice and free response, so I can narrow down which knowledge is most essential, and how to strategically approach any question.

My name is Siri Omene, and I am the founder and owner of Chitown Tutoring, one of the highest-rated test prep companies in Chicago with a 4.9-star average across more than 70 reviews. I have spent over a decade helping students succeed on high-stakes exams including the SAT, ACT, GRE, GED, AP, and selective high school entrance tests in both Chicago and New York City. With a background in civil engineering from Illinois Tech and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, I bring a structured, analytical approach to test preparation. I have personally delivered more than 10,000 hours of instruction and guided over 500 students in achieving their academic goals. What Sets Me Apart: At the core of my method is what I call the MetaSocratic Method, a structured framework that goes beyond content delivery. I guide students through thoughtful questioning, analytical reasoning, and active reflection to help them understand not just what the right answer is, but why it is right. This cultivates true academic independence. Students learn how to think, how to ask better questions, and how to apply their skills in unfamiliar contexts. They do not just improve their scores—they develop the habits, discipline, and mindset of lifelong learners and problem solvers. My 6-Step Path to Mastery and Exam Success: 1. Diagnostic Testing and Assessment: We identify each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning gaps to customize instruction from the start 2. Personalized Tutoring Plan: Instruction is aligned with the student’s goals, learning style, and school curriculum 3. Fundamental Skills Review: We strengthen foundational knowledge to prepare students for more complex material 4. Problem Solving and Strategy: Through active learning, students improve reasoning, strategy use, and application of concepts 5. Practice and Reinforcement: Frequent practice tests and quizzes build familiarity, accuracy, and confidence in test settings 6. Final Mastery Review: We evaluate readiness with a full assessment, provide detailed feedback, and equip students with strategies for continued improvement Why Families and Students Choose to Work With Me: • Deep expertise: I have trained tutors, developed full-length curricula, and worked with students across all academic levels • Proven track record of success: Students regularly achieve significant score increases and gain admission to top programs • Personalized support: Every lesson is tailored to the student’s pace, needs, and goals • Strategic focus: Sessions go beyond content and teach how to think, plan, and perform under pressure • Long-term impact: Students leave with greater confidence, stronger study habits, and skills that benefit them beyond the exam For students tackling AP exams, I provide rigorous content review, targeted practice, and exam-specific strategies to help you earn high scores, gain college credit, and stand out in the admissions process.

I scored a 5 on all Math AP Exams (AB and BC) as well as 5’s on Physics C Mechanics and E&M. I have tutored for AB, leading to a 5, and teach a high school class for it.

As a Stanford graduate with over 10 AP scores of 5 and a deep understanding of both the content and structure of AP exams, I specialize in helping students not just memorize—but master. I’ve worked with students across STEM and humanities subjects to build strong conceptual foundations, improve FRQ writing, and feel confident walking into test day. I create custom study plans based on each student’s learning style and timeline, focusing on clarity, efficiency, and long-term retention. Whether you’re aiming to self-study an exam, need support in a tough AP class, or want to perfect your test-taking strategy, I’m here to help you reach your highest potential—with less stress and stronger results.
