Thinking about diving into physics competitions or aiming for a perfect score on your AP exams? This AMA is your chance to ask anything—from how to train for contests like USAPhO, Physics Bowl, and Yale Physics Olympics, to what resources actually work. I’ll be sharing insights from my own journey as a USAPhO Honorable Mention, Yale Physics Olympics champion, and Physics Bowl regional medalist. I’ve also scored a 5 on all four AP Physics exams (1, 2, C: Mechanics, and C: E&M), and I’ll help guide your study strategy to do the same. Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, bring your questions and let’s talk physics—from competitions to classroom success.

Hi, I’m Aum, and I’m excited to help you master AP Physics 1 and 2! I’ve scored a 5 on both exams, won 1st place at the Yale Physics Olympics, and qualified for the United States Physics Olympiad (USAPhO)—but more importantly, I’m incredibly passionate about physics and love helping others understand it. In these office hours, my focus is you and your questions. Whether you're struggling with a tricky concept, looking for clarification on a challenging problem, or just want to refine your problem-solving skills, I’m here to provide clear explanations and expert guidance. I aim to create a supportive, stress-free environment where you can feel comfortable asking anything. Whether you're aiming for a perfect score or just looking to gain confidence in physics, I'm here to help you every step of the way. Looking forward to learning together—see you in office hours!

This is my 2nd AP Physics 1 series that I am hosting. During my freshman year, I scored a 5 on the AP Physics 1 exam. My goal in this series is to help you do the same! Each week we will discuss a different topic from the AP Physics curriculum for the first while working on AP style problems to get ready for the school year. I will be using materials from Khan Academy as well as sample AP problems and physics worksheets. There will be a heavy emphasis on the core concepts of physics which comprise of the first two units of AP Physics 1. This is because they are the most important units in order to understand physics and do well in the class as well as exam.

By the end of this 5-week course, you will have a strong foundation in basic and intermediate circuit design using TinkerCAD, as well as experience programming Arduino. You will develop a solid understanding of electrical components such as resistors, transistors, potentiometers, and more. You will also be able to perform circuit calculations, understanding voltage, current, and resistance using Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Laws. This curriculum is designed to provide practical, hands-on experience that emphasizes real-world applications and project-based learning.

In this session, we will explore the fundamentals of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) using Onshape. You will learn how to create both 2D and 3D drawings and parts, along with an introduction to basic manufacturing techniques. Each class will introduce new tools and methods, followed by hands-on practice through a guided drawing exercise. Emphasis will be placed on the practical, real-world applications of the software and various manufacturing methods. Before attending the class, please create a student account at [https://www.onshape.com/en/](https://www.onshape.com/en/)

I can help you with SAT Math questions or with any particular Math topic. I will help you understand the topic conceptually and explain how to solve that type of problem as well as strategies to apply for the actual SAT.

Physics is my favorite subject and during my freshman year, I scored a 5 on the AP Physics 1 exam. My goal in this series is to help you do the same! Each week we will discuss a different topic from the AP Physics curriculum for the first half of class. For the rest of class, we will work on AP style practice problems getting progressively harder in order to review for the exam. I will be using materials from Khan Academy as well as sample AP problems and physics worksheets.
