About

We are going to get ready for the AP exam together! Each weekly session will be about 50% conceptual review and 50% problem-solving. I will also supply additional problems (and solutions) for you to attempt on your own time. As we get closer to May, we will emphasize AP-style FRQs and MCQs. Regarding my qualifications, I scored all 5's on AP Physics I, AP Physics C: Mechanics, and AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism, and I am majoring in Physics at the University of Chicago. *I don't anticipate needing to change very many sessions, but if I need to change a session time, I will try to provide as much notice as possible.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

This is completely flexible--come to as many or as few sessions as you'd like. This series aims to prepare you for the exam, but at the end of the day, you own your exam prep, so you do whatever is most beneficial to you!

About the Tutor

I'm a first-year undergraduate at UChicago! I love tutoring pretty much anything, but I'm especially passionate about math and physics. Some of my other interests/hobbies include hockey, musical composition, and quantum computing.
