Curriculum for Alisha’s APUSH Review
Alisha uses actual APUSH Exams as an anchor for a 3-night, comprehensive review of concepts, themes, topics, and facts that span the course of study. We review topics most frequently covered on the Exam, work with authentic College Board Document Based Questions (DBQs), Short Answer Questions (SAQs) and Multiple Choice questions as we work through the material and discuss what you will see on the Exam. We will review the Exam format and best test-taking strategies. This will include looking at anchor sets for answers to DBQs and SAQs. The final evening will include a question-and-answer hour in which students bring their own questions to class for a student guided study hour on anything not covered by me during the rest of the review. Alisha will provide COVID-safe snacks, hand sanitizer, and all review materials. You should bring a writing utensil, notebook, paper, and a good attitude. Your history book is optional, but some like to have it with them for reference. As an added benefit of signing up, if at any time after the course concludes up to the day of the Exam you have new questions that arise or topics you are unclear on, you have access to her via email/text/phone (given in class). I am always happy to help! NOTE: the course will not run unless at least 4 people sign up for the session. If the course is cancelled but you still want to review, Alisha is happy to discuss small group study or one-on-one review options.
Feel free to email Alisha your parents’ contact information if you are interested, and your parents can certainly contact me if they have questions about the class, me, or enrolling Once registered, students will be asked to complete a New Student Form.

She’s back and she’s better than ever!
Alisha Cipriano, M.A., has a rich background in education, both as a student and as a teacher, tutor, and college coach. Alisha is a proud alumna of Hall High School in West Hartford and The University of Michigan, where she received her undergraduate degree in History and Political Science. She then went on to earn her Masters degree in Education from Teachers College at Columbia University.
Alisha joined CollegePrepExpress in the fall of 2011, after serving as an instructor and curriculum developer for fours years at Simsbury High School. While there, she taught World History to 9th graders, American History to 11th graders, and AP United States Government and Politics to 12th graders, a course she created for the district. In 2012-2013, Alisha joined the faculty at Loomis Chaffee, where she taught AP US History. After a two and a half year hiatus to help raise her young family, Alisha returned to the trenches of high school education and college admissions in early 2019.
At CPE, Alisha offers the full range of college admissions services we provide: private tutoring in course work and standardized tests (SSAT, SAT, ACT, Subject Tests, and APs), small group tutoring, test prep classes, AP US Mid-Year and Final Review classes, application packaging, interview prep, and general academic coaching. Her students have been raving about her since she came on board! She tutors and runs classes out of her home office, 94 Vermillion Dr., Avon, CT. In addition, Alisha continues to see students by appointment at Loomis Chaffee and is also willing to meet with students in their homes, per private arrangement.
