About

physics is often treated as a collection of unrelated facts. the purpose of this course is to explore introductory physics in a way that emphasizes the innate connective nature of physical topics. this course will delve into the content of a university level physics class. calculus knowledge is not required, though it will be used from time to time, so learning calculus along with this course is recommended. in this course, i hope to - demonstrate good learning practices and efficient problem solving - help you learn physics in a structured fashion - show that solving a ton of problems is HURTFUL to learning a subject (less pain, more gain!) - emphasize that the solution to a problem is much more significant than its answer - explain why numbers are detrimental to learning in STEM - introduce the 4 C's of physics: categories, conditions, comparisons, and connections a few problems will be provided after every session to confirm your understanding

Tutor Qualifications

i am proficient in university-level physics, and have excelled in AP level physics classes. i also have experience tutoring this subject.

Session 2

Physics

we will introduce kinematics, the study of motion! for now, we will stick to kinematics in one dimension, and work in 2 & 3 dimensions at a later time. topics to be covered are: - displacement, velocity, and acceleration - motion with constant acceleration - derivations of the kinematic equations
