Our method

A step-by-step method for every unit

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:

1

Kinematics

2

Force & Translational Dynamics

3

Work, Energy & Power

4

Linear Momentum

5

Torque & Rotational Dynamics

6

Energy & Momentum of Rotating Systems

7

Oscillations

8

Fluids

Pricing

Two ways to start

Start free with the Unit Playbooks, a week-by-week plan for every unit. When your teen wants the live classes, practice sessions and Success Coach on this page, that's Personal Performance Coaching: $500 for the first 30 days, and you schedule a time to chat with us first.

Everything included from the day you enroll. Nothing more is charged unless you choose to continue.
“We need the fastest path, and can't afford wasted study time.”

Live classes and office hours, a personal Success Coach and a study plan built around the time your student actually has, short instructor videos on their own work, and Allen's AI feedback.

Enrollment is by call only. Schedule a time to chat with us, and we'll go over what continuing after the 30 days looks like on the call.

What continuing looks like after the 30 days, including what it costs, is something Allen goes over with you on a call. 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.

Questions

What parents ask most

Which option is right for my student?

Start with the free Unit Playbooks if the real problem is not knowing what to study, or when: a week-by-week plan and the video lessons for every unit, so there's no searching YouTube or building a schedule from scratch. It's also the easiest way to see how Allen teaches before spending anything.

Personal Performance Coaching is for a student who wants people behind them: live teaching lessons and practice sessions, office hours on their own schoolwork, short instructor videos (2 to 3 minutes) on their own work for the problems that matter most, Allen's AI feedback, and a Success Coach who plans around the time they actually have. It's $500 for the first 30 days, and enrollment is by call, so schedule a time to chat with us and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.

What if my student has never taken physics?

That's our default assumption, in the free Unit Playbooks and in Coaching. 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.

What's the difference between the free Unit Playbooks and Coaching?

The Unit Playbooks are the plan and the lessons: your teen works through them on their own. Personal Performance Coaching adds the practice, the feedback and the people: 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, Allen's AI feedback, and progress updates for you. It isn't one-on-one tutoring; it's small-group live classes with individual attention where it matters.

Can we start partway through the year?

Yes, and the first 30 days are $500 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.

How does payment work?

The Unit Playbooks are free, with no card needed. Personal Performance Coaching is $500 for the first 30 days, everything included. At the end of the 30 days we email and ask whether you want to continue; what continuing looks like, including what it costs, is something Allen goes over with you on a call. It's not a subscription and nothing renews on its own: nothing more is charged unless you say yes. Coaching's full terms are on the Personal Performance Coaching page.

Is the AI feedback any good?

Plenty of AI tools are capable. The difference here is the training. Allen trained this one specifically to help students improve, on how he teaches, from thousands of hours of lessons and working with students: the way he explains things, the way he breaks a problem down, and the problem-solving steps he teaches for every unit. We've invested a lot in getting that right. So it shows your teen how to solve a problem in the same structure and steps, and its feedback looks at how they set up and attacked the problem, not just whether the final answer matched. If your teen likes Allen's teaching videos, the AI answers and gives feedback the same way. It's part of Personal Performance Coaching, where an instructor also records short videos on their work.

Will this line up with what my teen's class is doing?

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.

Everything in Personal Performance Coaching, with the schedule, is on the Personal Performance Coaching page.

Every unit builds on the last one

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.
