The AP CSA support cohort
From Java foundations to exam practice
A supplemental path alongside a student’s AP CSA course—not a replacement for the full-year class.
UNIT 02
Selection and Iteration
Boolean logic, conditional statements, loops, and careful code tracing.
Control flowUNIT 03
Class Creation
Designing classes, constructors, instance variables, and methods that work together.
Object-oriented JavaUNIT 04
Data Collections
Arrays, ArrayLists, two-dimensional arrays, searching, sorting, and recursion.
Algorithms & dataNovember–May learning arc
Build skills, then practise the current exam format
November–December: Java foundations, objects, methods, selection, and iteration.
January–February: class creation, constructors, and methods that work together.
March: arrays, ArrayLists, two-dimensional arrays, and data collections.
April–May: timed multiple-choice and free-response practice, with review before classes end May 8.
Four free-response focus areas: methods and control structures; class design; data analysis with ArrayList; and 2D arrays. The May 12 exam is fully digital in Bluebook, with 42 multiple-choice questions and 4 free-response questions.
Who this is for
You don’t have to figure out every Java question alone.
This cohort is for students taking AP Computer Science A who want a stronger grasp of the concepts and more confidence applying them.
- ✓You can follow class examples but get stuck when solving a new problem.
- ✓Code tracing, loops, arrays, or classes still feel confusing.
- ✓You want regular practice writing code and explaining why it works.
- ✓You want a structured review before the May 2027 exam.
The teaching approach
Understand first. Then practise.
We’ll connect new Java concepts to familiar problem-solving ideas, work through examples together, and use practice questions to find what needs more attention. This cohort adds targeted support and exam preparation alongside the student’s AP CSA class; it is not a replacement for a full-year AP course. Your O Level and A Level Computer Science background is welcome, but no Cambridge syllabus is required.
November–May cohort
Two hours of live support each week
Classes follow one of three schedules, with no more than 10 students in a section.
AP Computer Science A Support Cohort
Live online classes taught by Dr. Ibrahim Malick, PhD.
$600 / student / full term
Six monthly installments of $100 • 10 students per class
Group 1Monday & Wednesday · 9:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)
Group 2Tuesday & Thursday · 9:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)
Group 3Saturday · 5:00–7:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)
Term: November 16, 2026–May 8, 2027. Choose one schedule: weekday sections meet twice for 60 minutes; Saturday meets once for two hours. The published calendar will show holiday breaks. All times use Eastern Time and follow local clock changes.
How the group worksEach class combines a focused Java lesson, guided coding or code tracing, and instructor review of student questions and work. Students can submit practice for instructor feedback and use course chat between sessions; chat hours and response times are shared before enrollment.
- ✓Two hours of live instruction each week on the selected schedule
- ✓Java foundations, class creation, data collections, and timed AP-style practice
- ✓Feedback on practice and questions between classes through course chat
- ✓Recorded lesson videos and a digital course companion
Tuition is $600 total, paid in six $100 monthly installments. Payment due dates and withdrawal/refund terms will be provided in writing before enrollment. AP exam registration is separate and arranged through the student’s school; any other required costs will be disclosed before enrollment.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Who teaches the AP CSA classes?
Dr. Ibrahim Malick, PhD, teaches the classes personally.
How do the group classes work?
Each class combines a short Java lesson, guided coding or code tracing, and live review of student questions and work. Students may submit practice for instructor feedback and use course chat between sessions. Chat hours and expected response times are provided before enrollment.
What is the total price and how are payments made?
Total tuition is $600, paid as six monthly installments of $100. The exact payment due dates and withdrawal/refund terms will be provided in writing before enrollment. AP exam registration is separate; any other required costs will also be disclosed before enrollment.
What are the term dates and class times?
The cohort runs November 16, 2026 through May 8, 2027. Group 1 meets Monday and Wednesday at 9:00 PM ET; Group 2 meets Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00 PM ET; Group 3 meets Saturday from 5:00 to 7:00 PM ET. Weekday meetings are 60 minutes; Saturday is one two-hour meeting. The calendar will identify holiday breaks.
What is included?
Tuition includes live Java instruction, guided coding and AP-style practice, feedback on submitted practice, recorded lesson videos, a digital course companion, and course chat. Chat hours and response expectations are confirmed before enrollment.
How many students are in each class?
Each live section is capped at 10 students. Choose one section; each class is capped at 10 students.
Does this replace the school AP CSA course?
No. This is supplemental AP CSA support and exam preparation. Students should continue with their school’s full-year AP CSA course.
Does the program include AP exam registration?
No. Tuition is for instruction and course support. Students and families arrange AP exam registration through their school or an authorized local testing school.
Is this an official College Board course?
No. The Digital Tutor is an independent tutoring provider and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the College Board.
Can we ask about private tutoring instead?
Yes. Use the enquiry form and select private tutoring or either option. We’ll share availability and details.
