About
Hi, my name is Arnav, and I’m excited to help you prepare for AP Physics! I’ve always been fascinated by how the world works—from motion and forces to energy and electricity—and I love breaking down complex physics concepts into simple, intuitive ideas that actually stick.
This four-week tutoring series is designed to help you succeed in your AP Physics class and feel confident going into your exam. Throughout the program, we’ll work through key topics like kinematics, dynamics, energy, and more, using real AP-style problems and past exam questions. By the end of the series, you’ll have strengthened both your conceptual understanding and your problem-solving skills.
Each session will be interactive and hands-on, with a small group of students so everyone gets plenty of support and opportunities to ask questions. We’ll focus on understanding the “why” behind the formulas—not just memorizing them—so you can tackle any problem that comes your way.
Note: Cameras should be on so we can all get to know each other and create a collaborative learning environment! If you have a specific reason why you can’t have your camera on, please let me know ahead of time.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.
If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Sat 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM UTCMar 28, 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM UTC
In this first session, we’ll build a strong foundation in kinematics—the study of motion—without worrying about forces just yet. We’ll start with 1D motion, learning how to analyze objects moving in a straight line using displacement, velocity, and acceleration. You’ll learn how to interpret motion graphs and use key kinematic equations to solve problems efficiently.
From there, we’ll level up to 2D motion, where things get more interesting! We’ll break motion into horizontal and vertical components and apply those same principles to analyze projectile motion—one of the most common topics on the AP Physics exam.
By the end of this class, you will:
-Understand and apply the core kinematics equations
-Read and interpret position, velocity, and acceleration graphs
-Break down 2D motion into components with confidence
-Solve AP-style projectile motion problems step-by-step
This session will be highly interactive, with guided practice and real exam-style questions to help you start thinking like a physicist from day one.

Sat 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM UTCApr 4, 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM UTC
In this session, we’ll move from describing motion to understanding why objects move—by diving into forces and Newton’s Laws. This is one of the most important units in AP Physics and the key to solving a wide range of exam problems.
We’ll start by learning how to identify and represent forces using free-body diagrams, a critical skill for breaking down complex problems. Then, we’ll apply Newton’s Three Laws of Motion to understand how forces affect an object’s motion. You’ll also learn how to analyze common forces like gravity, tension, normal force, and friction.
By the end of this class, you will:
-Draw and interpret clear free-body diagrams
-Apply Newton’s Laws to solve real-world problems
-Understand how multiple forces interact on an object
-Solve AP-style questions involving friction, tension, and inclined planes
This session will be highly interactive, with step-by-step problem solving and guided practice to help you think through problems like a physicist—not just plug into formulas.

In this session, we’ll shift from forces to a more powerful and efficient way of solving physics problems—using energy. Instead of tracking every force acting on an object, we’ll learn how to analyze motion using work and energy principles, which are often faster and easier on the AP exam.
We’ll start by understanding work and how forces transfer energy. Then, we’ll dive into different forms of energy, including kinetic energy and potential energy, and apply the work-energy theorem. Finally, we’ll explore the law of conservation of energy, one of the most important tools for solving complex problems, along with the concept of power.
By the end of this class, you will:
-Understand and calculate work done by forces
-Apply kinetic and potential energy concepts
-Use conservation of energy to solve multi-step problems
-Analyze systems with efficiency using energy methods instead of forces
This session will be highly interactive, with step-by-step problem solving and AP-style questions to help you master one of the most important and time-saving topics on the exam.

In this session, we’ll explore two powerful ideas in physics: how motion is transferred between objects and how motion can repeat in cycles. This unit combines momentum and simple harmonic motion, giving you tools to analyze both collisions and oscillations.
We’ll start with momentum and impulse, learning how forces acting over time change an object’s motion. You’ll use the law of conservation of momentum to solve collision problems, including elastic and inelastic interactions.
Then, we’ll transition into simple harmonic motion (SHM), where objects move back and forth in a repeating pattern. You’ll learn how restoring forces create oscillations in systems like springs and pendulums, and how to calculate period, frequency, and energy in these systems.
By the end of this class, you will:
Understand and apply momentum and impulse
Use conservation of momentum to solve collision problems
Identify and analyze simple harmonic motion
Calculate period, frequency, and energy in oscillating systems
This session blends problem-solving and conceptual understanding, helping you master both interactions and oscillations—two key topics that show up frequently on the AP Physics exam.

In this session, we’ll extend everything you’ve learned about motion into the world of rotational motion. Instead of objects moving in straight lines, we’ll analyze how objects spin and rotate, and how forces cause that rotation.
We’ll start by introducing angular quantities like angular velocity and angular acceleration, and then connect them to linear motion. From there, we’ll dive into torque, the rotational equivalent of force, and learn how it causes objects to rotate. A key focus will be moment of inertia, which describes how mass is distributed and how that affects an object’s resistance to rotation.
By the end of this class, you will:
-Understand and relate angular and linear motion
-Calculate and apply torque in different systems
-Understand moment of inertia and its impact on rotation
-Solve AP-style problems involving rotational dynamics and equilibrium
This session will be interactive and problem-focused, helping you build intuition for rotational systems and confidently tackle one of the more challenging—but rewarding—units on the AP Physics exam.
