AP Physics 1 crash course

Starts

I got a 5 on AP physics 1 last year, and I was a Teacher Assistant for my physics class this year. I will teach important concepts of the 8 topics in AP physics each week with several hundred questions to build confidence in your skill.

AP Physics I : Accelerated Program

Starts

🚀 Accelerate Your AP Physics 1 Journey! Join Our Accelerated Program! 🚀

Description: Ready to conquer the complexities of motion, forces, energy, and beyond? Our AP Physics 1 Accelerated Program is designed to propel you towards a deeper understanding of foundational physics principles and prepare you to excel on the AP exam. We'll rigorously explore core topics, develop advanced problem-solving strategies, and cultivate the critical thinking skills essential for success in college-level physics. This program is for ambitious students eager to solidify their knowledge and achieve mastery.

What We Plan to Cover:
This intensive program will provide a focused deep dive into the most challenging and frequently tested units of AP Physics 1, including:

Advanced Kinematics: Mastering motion in 1D and 2D, including complex projectile motion and relative velocity.

Dynamics & Newton's Laws: Analyzing intricate force systems, friction, and multi-body interactions with free-body diagrams.

Work, Energy, & Power: Applying conservation of energy to diverse scenarios, including non-conservative forces and power calculations.

Linear Momentum & Collisions: Solving complex collision problems in one and two dimensions, applying impulse and momentum conservation.

Rotational Motion & Torque: Understanding rotational kinematics, dynamics, rotational inertia, and conservation of angular momentum.

Simple Harmonic Motion & Waves: Deeper exploration of oscillations, pendulums, springs, and wave characteristics.

How Learners Should Expect to Engage:
This isn't a passive lecture series! Our accelerated program emphasizes active participation and critical application:

Interactive Lectures: We'll go beyond basic definitions, focusing on conceptual nuances and common misconceptions through engaging, illustrative lectures.

Student-Led Discussions: You'll actively participate in breakout sessions and full-group discussions, explaining solutions, debating concepts, and learning from your peers.

Adaptive Assessment Drills: Immediately apply what you learn with targeted, adaptive practice problems. Our system will identify areas where you need more support, providing personalized challenges to strengthen your understanding.

Problem-Solving Workshops: Dedicated time will be spent on deconstructing complex AP-style free-response questions and multiple-choice problems, guiding you through strategic approaches.

Real-World Applications: Expect to connect theoretical concepts to practical, real-world phenomena through demonstrations and thought experiments.

Don't just learn physics – master it! Spaces are limited to ensure personalized attention. Sign up today to secure your spot!

AP Physics 1 (Algebra-Based) Units 0, 1, and 2 Introductions

Starts

Each session, we will cover a unit of the AP Physics 1 (Algebra-Based) Curriculum. This series is designed for Units 0, 1, and 2. However, future series will introduce the remaining AP Physics Units. This series is not designed to cover all of the content from each unit. It is simply a friendly and easy introduction into physics and the topics you will be learning! There is no background physics knowledge required.

AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based

Starts

A 5-scorer on AP Physics 1, C: Mechanics, and C: Electricity and Magnetism, I wish to provide a personal and interactive experience which will fully cover all course content for AP Physics 1 (as aligned with College Board standards) by the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year. This series will cover Units 2-8 as a continuation of one of my past series on Unit 1 and will follow an intimate lecture format very similar to that found in typical university recitations- with office hour availability as needed. To maintain a personalized experience for all learners, the course size will remain at 15 maximum learners unless it appears possible to expand without loss in quality of instruction.

From Motion to Force: Kinematics & Newton’s Laws Demystified

Starts

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).

Introduction to Cosmology: From Big Bang to Black holes

Starts

This series will be an introductory course for learning the field of cosmology. We will cover interesting topics such as the Big Bang, CMB, dark matter, and black holes each week. If you have completed Algebra 2, that would be great, but there's still no prerequisite knowledge needed. Anyone who is interested in this field but has never had the proper chance to learn, or someone who just likes physics, is welcome to join!

Physics Olympiad Prep course

Starts

We will have around 2 meetings each week, each going over topics that are needed to know for Physics Olympiad. Also, ideally you should have taken some kind of physics course before this, but its fine even if you have not, just tell me in the question you have to answer.

The basics of Quantum Computation

Starts

This is a course covering the basics of quantum computation! We will begin with an extensive overview of the math, cs, and physics needed before getting to the meat of

I currently research as an undergrad in my lab in quantum computation and look at zx-calculus and quantum error correction. I've taken courses on quantum computation as well.

I've aimed to make this accessible to high schoolers and as such, limit the scope of what can reasonably be taught. A lot of the beginning material will be pointing to resources and covering background material. However, Algebra II is the minimum prerequisites. Further background in math, physics, and cs are always helpful but not necessary.

You will need some form of note-taking (pen paper, tablet, etc.) and ideally access to a computer.

AP Physics 1/IB Physics Theme A Crash Course

3rd session

We will cover all of AP Physics 1, which aligns with IB Physics Theme A (and some of Theme C). This course is perfect for review before moving on to AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics, or IB Physics Year 2. It’s also a great way to get started with physics.

Each session will focus on content that is highly beneficial for both courses. If you’re taking either class, I hope these sessions help you a lot!

Cool Topics in Mechanics

3rd session

We'll go over more advanced (but very fun) aspects in mechanics that might not be traditionally taught in your last physics class you took. If you're interested in rocket motion, systems of springs, gyroscopes, and differences in time with spaceships traveling near the speed of light, then you might enjoy what we talk about!

To get the most out of the sessions, you should have a firm understand of calculus of at least the AP Calculus BC level, and a physics background of at least AP Physics 1.

Textbooks we'll use:
  • Morin, D. (2023). Introduction to classical mechanics: With problems and solutions. Cambridge University Press.
  • Kleppner, D., & Kolenkow, R. J. (2014). An introduction to mechanics. Cambridge University Press.
