Fit into any of these scenarios? Then this might be for you.

  • You understand the concepts, but need help solving problems
  • You know how to solve problems but often run out of time.
  • You are having trouble with answering FRQs and often miss a few points off each.
  • You find problems confusing in general. Or don't know how to start solving a question.

This program is NOT for students who

  • Need to learn topics from scratch
  • Are not willing to do test corrections and lot of practice questions
  • Do not want faster ways to solve problems

This program is IS for students who

  • Aim to get a higher score to stand out on collage applications
  • Have the time to put in extra hours for practice and test corrections
  • Are genuinely interested in learning quick problem solving tricks

Yes, I want to ace my AP Physics 1 Exam! Excel in Physics like no other student.

Program details - STEP BY STEP

1. Your Plan

Step 1 is to make a plan that's fine-tuned to your learning.

Every student is different, and therefore everyone will have a unique plan. During our first lesson we will discuss your strengths and weaknesses and plan out the steps you will take to get a 5.

2. Bookings

Scheduling will be a breeze.

After our first lesson, parents and students will take 15 minutes to plan out recurring dates on which to meet. All 16 lessons will be booked at once.

3. Mock Exams

Mock exams will make your actual test a LOT easier.

Mock exams will be created by Jason. Many of the questions are based on the ACTUAL AP Exam in prior years. Mock exams WILL be timed and graded. The final lesson will consist of 2 FULL length AP Exams (3 hours each) that must be taken on the students own time.

4. Corrections

Test corrections make learning faster

Understanding your mistakes is the quickest way to master physics. ALL questions that are answered incorrectly on mock exams NEED to be corrected quickly. This will be a focus during our 1 to 1 sessions.

5. Targeted Practice

16 lessons is enough IF...

You will, ideally, continuing practicing outside of our 1 to 1 sessions. Our platform will intelligently will assign hyper-targeted problems that you can solve in your free time.

The science is simple: the more problems you solve, the higher you will score on the exam. Aim to work on a minimum of 10 problems per day for the next 5 weeks.

6. Ready, set, go!

Doing well will be WORTH it!

Don’t think of this as a chore. This is an opportunity to get smarter and stand out. Getting a 5 on your exam will put you in the top 3 percent of the population. It will open doors for you and give you a leg up on college applications. The sooner you start, the better!

Program Curriculum. 15 Rapid steps to success.

**This is a sample curriculum. Your individual plan will be based on your initial evaluation.

  1. Exam Overview

    Lesson 1

    What makes the AP Physics Exam so difficult? Tips on how to score a 5 and common traps to look out for. Problem solving techniques and preparing for time crunch. NO Memorization, and NO notes. I will train you to use PURE logic. We will create your personal plan on how to best study.

  2. Vectors

    Lesson 1

    Review scalars, vectors, and relative motion. Learn a quick method of resolving vectors into components. 20 practice questions. ~ 10% of the AP Exam.

  3. Linear and Rotational Kinematics

    Lesson 1

    Review all types of kinematics covered on the exam. See the fastest way to solve ANY projectile problem. 50 practice questions. ~15% of the AP Exam.

  4. Linear, Circular, and Rotational Forces

    Lessons 2, 3, 4

    Review all types of linear forces. Learn the fastest framework for solving ANY force probelms. This is the largest chapter, around ~ 60% of the AP Exam. Extensive problem solving technique and questions will be covered. 100 questions

  5. Linear and Rotational Energy

    Lesson 4

    Review energy and learn the best framework that can be used to solve ALL energy problems. 30 Questions. ~ 15% of the AP Exam

  6. Linear and Rotational Momentum

    Lesson 4

I’ve taught over 1000 students, 1-to-1, over the last 8 years (Physics B.S, Business B.A from USC). I know exactly what students find difficult and how to properly explain concepts. My method is simple, effective, and has been proven time and time again by my students’ results. Take a look for yourself below:

Some quick stats from students that took this program...

  • 90% of my students score a 90% or higher in their Physics class. Their scores fall within the top 5 percentile of their school.
  • 37 of the 48 students that enrolled scored a 5! Although the exam has the lowest passing rate, 75%+ of my students scored a perfect 5!
  • On average, students score one letter grade higher or more on their tests after only 4 lessons with me!

My teaching and learning methodology is simple: learn by example and master through practice. We will work on complex questions and break them down to find a solution.

Unlike other instructors and tutors, I

  • provide many resources for all my students to use
  • care about the student's academic results as well as their understanding of the subject
  • teach on a digital whiteboard, so it's easy for students to visually see what I'm working on
  • Created an effective & simple framework (based upon teaching 400+ students) for applying physics with ease

If you’re a motivated learner and want to score exceptionally high on your AP Physics EXAM, then this is for you. But don’t just take my word for it. Join now and see the results for yourself!
