About

Before AP Physics 1 tanks your GPA and has you questioning your life choices, let us get you through Kinematics, Force & Translational Dynamics, Work, Energy & Power, and Linear Momentum; everything you'll likely cover in the first semester of AP Physics 1. We're two rising seniors who both scored 5s on the AP Physics 1 exam this past year and were taught by a former Soviet rocket scientist, so hopefully we know what we're talking about. A foundation in algebra and geometry is advised, but we'll review the relevant concepts. Just bring a pencil, paper, and a calculator (or DESMOS is fine too). Can't wait to meet ya'll!

I'm a high school senior who likes math, especially physics and calculus. I am taking AP Physics C this upcoming year and I hope that I can help students to understand the subject that I enjoy. In my free time I enjoy playing sports (golf, baseball, basketball) and playing guitar.
