Joyful_Journey Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 My ds took AP Lang with Brigid Thompson at Blue Tent a couple of years ago - fantastic course with an excellent instructor. Does anyone have any experience with the new teacher, Lisa Glover, for any of her BT English courses? It appears that her reading list is the same as Brigid Thompson's (which was great), so now I'm just searching for some reviews or feedback on Lisa Glover as an instructor...

Joyful_Journey Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 Bumping this to see if there is anyone with feedback on Lisa Glover's classes with Blue Tent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Oh. Yes. Not my own kids, but I've heard she's excellent. Basically the same course as Brigid Thompson. All the BT English teachers seem to have a very similar approach and overlap their materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 My DD loved Lisa Glover’s HSE (Post-AP) this year. It is obviously a very different course, but same excellent teaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that was DD’s first class with her. DD took AP Lang & AP Lit with Mrs. Serbicki from PAH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in knowing how your DD thought they compared as instructors. My DD is considering an English major in college, so I'm hoping this senior year AP Lang class will prepare her well. Would love to know your DD's thoughts (although I realize they taught two different classes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 @Joyful_Journey I just asked my daughter, and I will let you know what feedback she shares. Mrs. Serbicki‘s classes are lean, solid, and low fuss. I think my daughter learned a lot from her. Dr. Glover‘s class was a bit lighter by design and fairly easy/fun. I can’t really shed much light on their teaching styles, as my daughter is very independent (and lived away from home during high school so I wasn’t involved day-to-day). I think both were thorough, detailed graders. DD earned a 5 on Lang AP exam and a 4 on Lit after doing Serbicki’s classes with no additional prep.

She’s working as a summer camp counselor right now and is definitely out of school mode, so it’s pretty rough and brief. Hope it’s helpful. “sorry I saw this yesterday but just remembered it. my brain is not in school mode so I don’t know how much info I can give. I’d say serbicki was a little more hands on with teaching. we received faster feedback from glover though. dr glover was definitely an easier grader in my opinion, but her notes were more in depth. I preferred the completely asynchronous format of dr glover’s class, however the recorded classes from serbicki were somewhat helpful. I didn’t utitlize them much, but I think a different student would have felt they were neccessary for learning the material. if i think of any more differences i’ll let you know.” FWIW, my DD did Serbicki’s class fully asynchronously by not attending classes live and only skimming the recordings. She came into AP Lang as a sophomore with excellent, fast reading and writing ability. The differences she points to in their teaching/grading could easily be accounted for by the very substantial difference in the purposes of the classes; HSE at BT is designed to be a lighter, easier 12th grade English class by already strong readers/writers.
