Course Overview

Our AP Physics 1 tutor online programme is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of algebra-based physics concepts while preparing you for success on the AP exam. This course covers all eight units outlined by the College Board, emphasizing conceptual understanding, mathematical modeling, and scientific reasoning.

AP Physics 1 is equivalent to a first-semester college course in algebra-based physics. The course covers Newtonian mechanics (including rotational dynamics and angular momentum), work, energy, power, mechanical waves and sound, and introduces simple circuits. You'll develop scientific thinking skills through inquiry-based learning and hands-on activities. If you're also preparing for AP Calculus, our AP Calculus AB tutoring pairs well with this course.

AP Exam Information
