About

This course is aimed at those who will be taking the class in the upcoming school year and want to prepare for it and the AP test. We will go through the first three Units of the AP Physics 1 course in depth over several weeks to help introduce the nature of the course and prepare for future content. The main goal of this series is to not only learn the topics but to understand them conceptually as well to prepare you well for the AP test. In addition, we will also practice the skills necessary for success in this course in the upcoming school year. You will need a notebook, pencils, and a calculator for each session, as well as an open mind and willingness to learn! If the times don't work for you, please let me know. Thank you and I hope to see you in my session soon!

Tutor Qualifications

I took AP Physics 1 last year and maintained a 98+ both semesters. EDIT: I have also received a 5 on my AP Exam. Hopefully I will get AP certified soon :)

Jul

Session 2

Physics

We will continue where we left off from the previous class, discussing topics such as frames of reference, and introducing the ideas of distance, displacement, position, velocity, acceleration, and time. These fundamental ideas will also be applied to various visual representations.
