About

Ever feel like physics problems are just falling on you like a dropped bowling ball? Don't worry — I’ve been there. I took AP Physics 1 this year and scored a 5, so I know what the College Board loves and what students usually struggle with.
﻿
In this session, we’ll break down two of the most important topics: kinematics (how things move) and forces (why they move). We’ll cover motion graphs, equations like 𝑣=𝑣0+𝑎𝑡 and Newton’s Laws with real examples, easy visuals, and practice problems that actually make sense.
﻿
Whether you're just starting out or reviewing before a test, I got you. Bring questions, bring your brain, and maybe a snack (for you, not your calculator).

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

To help everyone get the most out of this series, you’re expected to attend each session.

You’re allowed up to 2 unexcused absences.

If you know ahead of time that you’ll miss a session, just send me a message — no problem!

If you miss more than 2 sessions without letting me know, you may be removed from the series to make room for others.

Let’s stay committed and crush AP Physics together 💪.

SESSION 1

AP Physics

Tue 7:00 PM - 8:10 PM UTCJul 15, 7:00 PM - 8:10 PM UTC

What’s one topic in AP Physics 1 that confuses you the most right now?
(Examples: graphs, Newton’s Laws, friction, energy, rotational motion, etc.)

SESSION 2

AP Physics

Thu 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM UTCJul 17, 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM UTC

Need a little extra help between sessions? Stuck on a kinematics problem or confused about free-body diagrams? This is a chill, open session where you can bring your questions, practice problems, or just drop by to review what we’ve covered so far.

SESSION 3

AP Physics

Tue 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM UTCJul 22, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM UTC

This session dives deep into interpreting position-time and velocity-time graphs — a must-know skill for the AP exam. We’ll decode slope and area, explain what curved lines mean, and practice switching between verbal, graphical, and algebraic descriptions of motion.

Now we’ll tackle why objects move (or don’t). Learn Newton’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Laws through interactive demos and examples. We’ll break down everyday forces — gravity, normal, friction, tension — and get you solving real “F = ma” problems without panicking.
