Will study groups and office hours be staffed by a teaching assistant?

No, unlike taking classes at an institution of higher learning that are often taught by graduate student teaching assistants, Sensei Economics students will have regular weekly access to Sensei, PhD, with 20 years of experience in research and teaching. 

Am I guaranteed college credit with course completion?

No, Sensei Economics is not affiliated with an accredited college.  However, we can help you approach the Advanced Placement (AP) exam with confidence.  Many colleges recognize successful completion of the AP exam for credit or advanced placement.  Please find more information at: https://www.senseieconomics.com/whatisap
 



My homeschool student is required to take a semester of economics to meet high school graduation requirements. Can Sensei Economics help?
