The Summer Head Start

You don't need to learn all of physics this summer. You just need a head start.
So we've included a Bonus Unit for the summer covering only concepts that matter most.
Available to all course members starting June 25.

Feeling stumped by Physics?

I get it. It has a reputation for being hard. But it doesn’t have to be.

I’m Jason. After thousands of hours one-on-one with students, I know exactly where students get stuck. So I built this course around those moments. I answer your questions before you even think to ask them. And that’s what makes learning so fast.

No note-taking. No memorizing formulas. Physics comes down to one real skill: solving problems. We’ll build that from scratch, starting at zero.

You’ll have to put in work between lessons. But the payoff is huge: a grade you’re proud of and a way of thinking that lasts long after the exam.

Try it out! I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

A Powerful Platform That Accelerates Learning

Course FAQ

Commonly asked questions.

Can I join anytime?

Yes! Our year-round enrollment is designed to fit your schedule, whether you need to get ahead in the summer, keep up with classwork, or prepare for exams.

Absolutely! Just send us an email with your child’s email and we’ll transfer course access to their account. Alternatively you can have your student login and purchase the course directly from their account. 

Yes! Infact, we have a bonus Summer Unit designed for students that want to learn the first 3 units (the most important ones) over the summer in just 4 weeks. 

Yes! This course was originally designed to supplement a traditional physics class. We teach the material more efficiently while specifically addressing the common gaps that many teachers overlook.

For practice questions that require a written or drawn solution, you can simply type your answer or upload a picture of your work. Our Phy AI will grade it instantly.

If your solution is incorrect, the AI will provide specific feedback on how to fix it, allowing you to reattempt the question and master the concept.

P.S: This is the same trusted AI used by over one million students using our Phy Chat and UBQ platforms.

The cumulative end-of-unit exams are designed to closely mimic the AP Exam. Unlike the practice sets, they are timed and may be split into separate MCQ and FRQ sections. Depending on your problem-solving speed, the full exam should take 50–100 minutes.

Absolutely! You can use the course as a stand alone learning resource. Everything you need to learn and practice is included. 

This course is designed to be completed in one quarter, or approximately three months. However, some students have finished the entire course in under two months. For the first few weeks, we recommend studying and practicing for about two hours a day, five days a week. Once you master the first four units, the remaining units become much easier to complete.

Absolutely. This course is specifically designed to teach algebra-based physics and is perfectly aligned with the new 2025 AP Physics 1 curriculum. Additionally, its comprehensive content makes it a valuable supplement for students in any high school or introductory college-level physics class.

Bonus Units are completely free and include full video lessons, articles, practice sets, and tests. They’re our way of giving enrolled students extra support to help maximize their scores.

If you’re an AP Physics C student and new to physics, this course is a great way to build your foundation.

While your class will use calculus, you will still cover most of the same core Units as our algebra-based course. Mastering the fundamentals here first will make the more complex calculus applications in your own class much easier to understand.

Yes, this course includes practice sets, which contain MCQ and FRQs (Free Response Questions). These are questions we have hand picked. 

No, this course is fully self-contained and includes all of its own problem sets.

UBQ is a separate, free platform available on Nerd Notes that you can use as an optional resource for extra practice questions.

This course comes with our Phy AI built right into the platform. You’ll use it to get instant feedback on your practice FRQs and other written answers.

This is different from our Phy AI Chat platform, which is a separate tool not included with this course enrollment.
