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 — in about 3 hours a week.

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:
The earlier your teen gets on, the less there is to catch up later — and summer students lock in a school-year rate nobody else gets. Enrolling now for the school year; if you're planning ahead for next year, start with summer.
Everything is included at every price — all the live teaching and practice, office hours, both practice portals, a success coach, and the six-week AP exam prep block from March. There are no tiers and nothing to upgrade.
Summer is the one on-ramp that's cheaper, not just earlier. Summer students lock in $400/mo for the school year and can prepay for 25% off — later joiners can't. Next summer's dates and details go up on the Summer page in the spring.
Not sure yet? There's a two-week refund window, and the monthly plan cancels any time.
About 3 hours a week: one 1-hour live lecture plus two 1-hour practice sessions. There's no required outside homework — the practice sessions are sufficient practice on their own.
Far more is available if they want it — 15+ hours a week across the extra lectures, extra practice sessions, unit reviews, office hours, and the practice portals. That gap is deliberate: your teen takes exactly what they need and no more.
That's our default assumption. The entire curriculum is built for students with no physics background — we teach everything from the ground up. The only prerequisites are solid algebra and geometry skills.
Yes — enrollment is rolling and there's no cap. Between the school-year on-ramps, starting earlier doesn't save you money; it saves your teen the catch-up. Every month you wait is a month of material they'll have to close later, on top of whatever the class is throwing at them that week.
The exception is summer: summer students pay $375 and then lock in $400/mo for the school year instead of $450, with the option to prepay for 25% off. That one genuinely is cheaper as well as earlier — so if you're planning ahead for next year, summer is where to start.
A student who joins mid-year doesn't run two schedules at once — they skip the live track and work a catch-up plan of recorded unit reviews and targeted practice instead. The one real deadline is April: by then there isn't enough runway left, and we'd rather say so.
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.
Eight self-contained playbooks — one per unit — that turn 73 free video lessons into a week-by-week plan. Start with the unit your teen needs right now, whether they're getting ahead, keeping up, or digging out.
