Live teaching three times a week, six practice sessions, office hours on your teen’s own schoolwork, and help on any stuck problem the same day — on whatever schedule their week allows.
Taught by our team of experienced AP coaches — founded by Allen Tsao (Electrical Engineering, UC Berkeley & Stanford).

AP Physics rewards a process, not memorization. For each unit — and each type of problem within it — we teach a clear, step-by-step way to work through it. So whatever shows up on the exam, students know exactly how to start. We cover all eight units from the ground up:
Choose how much time your teen wants to spend figuring things out. Every level can help them improve; higher levels remove more of the work of diagnosing mistakes, finding the right practice and understanding difficult problems. The live classes, practice sessions and Success Coach on this page are Personal Performance Coaching.
A clear plan for what to learn and when to learn it. No random YouTube searches, and no building a study schedule from scratch.
Get the Free RoadmapGo from learning concepts to solving the exact types of problems on the AP exam. The problems come in order, each with a video solution, so your student never has to piece together how each type of problem works.
Start Self-StudyPrecise feedback on your student's own work, and exactly what to fix next. No more hours reviewing mistakes, guessing at weak spots, or waiting for someone to explain the error.
Allen-trained AI. Trained by Allen on hundreds of hours of his teaching material and problem-solving strategies, so it checks how your student attacked the problem, not just the final answer.
Get Personalized FeedbackThe fastest-support option: personalized human feedback on the problems that matter most. A 2 to 3 minute video from an instructor on your student's own work can replace twenty minutes of confused reading, replaying and guessing.
See if we're a fit See everything that's included →Coaching starts with $500 for the first 30 days. If you continue after the 30 days, the remaining $3,100 covers everything through the AP exam, $3,600 in all. Nothing more is charged unless you decide to keep going.
Waiting doesn't get you a better deal. The price is the same in September and in February, so every month you wait just buys less program, and leaves more for your teen to close on their own. April is genuinely too late to start.
Choose how much time your teen wants to spend figuring things out. Every level can help them improve; higher levels simply remove more of the work of diagnosing mistakes, finding the right practice and understanding difficult problems.
Unit Playbooks (free) solve “I don't know what to study”: a week-by-week plan and the video lessons for every unit, so there's no searching YouTube or building a schedule from scratch. The Exam Preparation System ($897) solves “I understand the lesson, but I don't know how to practice”: the exact types of problems on the AP exam, in order, each with a video solution, so they never have to piece together how a problem works. The Personalized Score Accelerator ($1,597) solves “I'm practicing, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong”: AI feedback on their own work that says exactly what to fix next, instead of hours spent reviewing mistakes and guessing at weak spots. Personal Performance Coaching ($3,600) is the fastest-support option, for a student with very little free time: short instructor videos, 2 to 3 minutes each, on their own work for the problems that matter most, and a Success Coach who plans around the time they actually have. Compare all four side by side.
Because each level up saves your teen time. With the Exam Preparation System, they find their own mistakes by comparing their work to the video solution. The Personalized Score Accelerator's AI tells them exactly what was wrong and what to fix next. In Personal Performance Coaching, an instructor's 2 to 3 minute video on their own work shows them the fix, which can replace twenty minutes of confused reading, replaying and guessing. None of it is a promise of a faster score; it's less of their study time spent figuring things out alone. Pick the level that matches how much time they have.
That's our default assumption at every level. The lessons are built for students with no physics background and teach everything from the ground up, with a step-by-step method for every unit. The only prerequisites are solid algebra and geometry.
The Exam Preparation System and the Personalized Score Accelerator are the Study Portal on its own: lessons, practice, AP questions and, in the Accelerator, AI feedback. Your teen works through it on their own schedule. Personal Performance Coaching includes all of that plus people, and it's the option that saves the most time: a Success Coach who builds the plan and checks in, live teaching lessons and practice sessions, office hours on their own schoolwork, an instructor who records short videos on their own work, and progress updates for you. It isn't one-on-one tutoring; it's small-group live classes with individual attention where it matters.
Yes, at every level, and the price is the same whenever you start, so waiting never saves you anything. Everything is organized unit by unit, so a student who joins mid-year starts with the unit their class is on, or the one they need to rebuild. The one real deadline is April: by then there isn't enough runway left for AP Physics 1, and we'd rather say so.
The two self-study plans are one payment each, $897 or $1,597, and last through the May AP exam window (access ends May 31). They're not a subscription and nothing renews. Personal Performance Coaching is $3,600 through the AP exam and starts with $500 for the first 30 days; nothing more is charged unless you choose to continue. There are no payment plans at any level. Coaching's full terms are on the Personal Performance Coaching page.
Yes. Not sure which level is right? Start with the one that fits today. If your teen needs more support within 30 days, we'll credit 100% of what you paid toward the next level, so you only pay the difference.
It isn't a general-purpose chatbot. Allen trained it on hundreds of hours of his teaching material and the problem-solving strategies he teaches for every unit, so it looks at how your teen set up and attacked the problem, not just whether the final number matched. In Personal Performance Coaching, an instructor also records short videos on their work.
Yes. Everything follows the official AP Physics 1 unit order, and each unit stands on its own, so your teen can work on whatever their class is covering this week. In Personal Performance Coaching, the Success Coach builds the plan around their actual class and office hours cover their own homework and tests.
That's what makes AP Physics 1 hard — and it's why the best week to start is this one. Live teaching, live practice, office hours on their own schoolwork, and help on any stuck problem the same day, from now through the AP exam.
