About

Taking AP Physics 1 this year? You're in luck! 

This series will be a thorough introduction to each unit on the AP Physics exam. We will focus on mastering the fundamentals, while also looking at more challenging problems. 

This series will be rooted in questions from past AP exams to help prepare you best for the end of year exam.

*** SCHEDULE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGES***

Tutor Qualifications

I took AP Physics 1 last year and got a 5 on the exam and an A in the class!
