About

This series is for anyone taking the AP Physics 1 course/exam this upcoming school year who would like a comprehensive preview of the AP Physics 1 Exam and the content covered in the course. Whether you're self-studying or taking the class online or in person, come have fun while preparing for AP Physics 1! I love physics, and I'm really excited to help set you up for success in the class and on the exam! We will start with a broad overview of the course and exam, and then focus on one unit per session, covering essential concepts, equations, and practice problems. I will also share resources and study tips for each unit, in order to ensure that you can achieve your AP Physics 1 goals! Last year, as a high school junior, I took AP Physics 1 online, and scored a 5. While AP Physics 1 is admittedly a difficult class, it is simultaneously fun and fascinating, and I strongly believe that everyone is capable of success with the right preparation, resources, and study strategies! This course is designed to be a foundational step in your preparation for success. 

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

While full attendance will be the most beneficial and provide the highest level of preparation for AP Physics 1, I don't want to add stress on top of your already busy summer schedules! The topics covered in AP Physics 1 do build on each other to an extent, however, each session will be beneficial on its own. Feel free to attend sessions when they work for your schedule, and to skip if you have other, more pressing commitments.

About the Tutor

I’m a senior at a public high school in Massachusetts who loves Physics, Math, and French. Able to help with introductory physics, AP Physics 1, AP Language and Composition, SAT prep, and French through AP French! Last year, I received a 1550 (770 Math, 780 R&W) on my SAT, and I took AP European History, AP Language and Composition, AP French, AP Physics 1, and AP Precalculus, and scored a 5 on all of those exams.
