Beyond Admissions: Personalized Support for Essays, AP/IB Tutoring, & Study Help

At Top Dog, we’re not just about getting students into college—we’re about helping them shine every step of the way. Whether it’s crafting a standout essay or conquering AP classes, we bring a unique perspective rooted in storytelling and creativity that sets me apart from traditional tutors.

We go beyond typical tutoring to provide year-round academic support tailored to your student’s needs. 

Writing That Wows

Writing is where most students struggle, especially on major exams like AP and IB. While other tutors stop at content, we teach students how to craft arguments, connect ideas, and communicate clearly—essential skills for slamming dunk essays and exam responses. Whether it’s a timed essay, a literary analysis, or a historical argument, we teach students to approach writing with confidence and purpose.

Comprehensive Subject Tutoring

We support students in all classes, from the basics to the most advanced:

  • AP, IB, and Honors Courses: History, English, and beyond—our expertise ensures students develop strong analytical skills, master essay writing, and tackle complex concepts with confidence.
  • Core Subjects: Math, science, social studies, you name it—we tailor our approach to your student’s needs, ensuring they feel confident and prepared.
  • Struggling with fundamentals? We’ve got it covered, from understanding the different dynasties in China to breaking down challenging algebra problems.

Beyond Memorization

Most schools focus on rote learning, but we fill in the gaps by teaching students to connect the dots, analyze deeply, and see the bigger picture. Whether it’s making sense of historical patterns or understanding how literary themes evolve, we show students how to think—not just what to remember (though we help with that too!).

With Top Dog, your student gains the tools to not only ace their classes but also develop the analytical and writing skills that will serve them for life. Let’s make them best in show!
