AP Physics Test Preparation

AP Physics Preparation Courses

Designed for high school students enrolled in AP Physics, these courses provide a deeper understanding of the material covered in class while preparing students for success on the AP Physics exam. The AP curriculum is challenging and fast-paced, requiring students to master a wide range of concepts and problem-solving techniques. These courses reinforce classroom instruction by presenting the material from a different perspective, strengthening conceptual understanding, and providing extensive practice with AP-style problems.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive review of all AP Physics topics and units

  • Clear explanations of challenging concepts and problem-solving strategies

  • Extensive practice with AP-style questions and past exam problems

  • Development of skills needed for the AP exam and college-level physics

  • Homework support and guidance throughout the course

  • Reinforcement of essential calculus skills (AP Physics C only)

What Sets Me Apart

  • More than 25 years of teaching and tutoring experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics from Columbia University

  • PhD in Physics from Florida State University

  • Experience as a university instructor, high school teacher, research physicist, and engineer

  • Engaging teaching style that emphasizes deep understanding, visualization, and problem-solving

Format

  • One-hour live class each week

  • Approximately one hour of homework per week

  • Homework assignments based on actual AP Physics exam questions

Course schedules and dates are currently being finalized. Please check back for updates.

Students who wish to get a head start on AP Physics, strengthen their mathematical and problem-solving skills, or begin preparing well in advance for future AP exams are encouraged to contact me regarding private tutoring and customized summer study programs.

Other Physics Classes Offered

Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics is one of the most important and fascinating subjects in all of science. It provides the foundation for our understanding of atoms, molecules, semiconductors, lasers, superconductors, and modern electronics. Unfortunately, many students find the subject confusing because it is often taught with heavy mathematics and little physical intuition.

This course is designed for advanced high school students, college students, and adult learners who want a clear and accessible introduction to quantum mechanics. Through simple explanations, visual examples, and carefully selected problems, students will develop a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of the quantum world.

What Sets Me Apart

Few instructors possess both extensive teaching experience and advanced research experience in quantum mechanics. I have completed more than twelve semester-long courses in quantum mechanics, taught quantum mechanics at Florida State University, and conducted research involving quantum mechanics and superconducting electronics at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and NIST.

Whether you are looking to take a structured quantum mechanics course, need help with a college quantum mechanics class, or are simply interested in learning more about the subject, I offer a level of expertise that is difficult to find outside the university setting.

Topics Include

  • Wave-Particle Duality

  • The Photoelectric Effect

  • Atomic Structure

  • Quantum States and Probability

  • The Schrödinger Equation

  • Quantum Tunneling

  • Applications of Quantum Mechanics in Modern Technology

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity

Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space, time, matter, and energy. Yet despite its importance, relativity is often given only brief coverage in traditional physics courses.

This course provides a clear and intuitive introduction to special relativity using only basic algebra and logical reasoning. Students will learn how motion affects measurements of space and time while exploring some of the most surprising and beautiful ideas in modern physics.

Topics Include

  • Galilean Relativity

  • Einstein's Postulates

  • Time Dilation

  • Length Contraction

  • Relativistic Momentum

  • Mass-Energy Equivalence (E = mc²)

  • Stars, Black Holes, and Modern Physics

Course Format

  • 60-minute class once per week

  • Weekly homework assignments

  • 15 classes total

  • $900 tuition

  • Dates TBD based on enrollment
