AP Computer Science Principles Prep Classes (Online)
One-on-one online prep, built around the College Board's AP CSP curriculum. Taught in Scratch, Python, Java, or JavaScript.
The YoungWonks AP Computer Science Principles Prep class is taught in a private one-to-one format, following the YoungWonks teaching pedagogy of inquiry-based learning with assisted practice. Students work on coding assignments, then complete homework independently with teacher feedback available all week through the YoungWonks Student Portal.
The course covers the College Board's AP Computer Science Principles curriculum in full, building the computational thinking and problem-solving skills needed for both the multiple-choice exam and the performance tasks. Many schools treat AP CSP as a prerequisite for AP Computer Science A.
Topics Covered in This Class
This course covers the College Board curricula course requirements.
Fundamentals of Programming
Variables, control structures, and functions which are core building blocks used across every language.
Algorithms
Designing, tracing, and analyzing step-by-step procedures for solving problems efficiently.
Data Analysis
Core College Board performance-task skills such as collecting, cleaning, and drawing insight from data.
Computing Systems and Networks
How hardware, the internet, and distributed systems work together to move and process information.
Social and Ethical Implications of Technology
Privacy, security, bias, and the broader impact of computing on people and society.
2 Months of
Rigorous, Proctored
Mock TestsBefore the actual College Board AP Exam
In the two months leading up to the AP CSP exam, students shift from learning new material to focused, high-repetition practice.
By exam day, students have already seen the format, the pacing, and the traps so nothing on the real test is a surprise.
Many schools have an AP Computer Science Principles course as a prerequisite
to taking the AP Computer Science A (AP CSA) course.
Testimonials
“I cannot say enough good things about YoungWonks in Pleasanton. Both of my sons--now 16 and 13--have been attending coding classes here for the last couple of years, and the quality of coaching they have received, particularly in Python, has been exceptional.”
“The instructors are knowledgeable, structured, and genuinely invested in each student’s growth. Thanks to the outstanding guidance and professional coaching at YoungWonks, my 16-year-old scored a perfect 5 out of 5 on both his AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A exams! Meanwhile, my 13-year-old is building a remarkably strong technical foundation and thoroughly enjoys the hands-on Python curriculum.”
“YoungWonks provides a fantastic environment for kids to build real-world computer science skills. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for top-tier coding education for their children.”
