This is a one-hour open ended tutoring session in any area of high school physics, including standard, honors, AP, and IB level courses.  Students can request specific help with a particular topic, preparing for an upcoming test or quiz, reviewing older material, or even getting ahead on what's coming up next in their course.  Although I'm happy to cover new topics from scratch, students are encouraged to be prepared with specific topics that they would like to work on so we can make the best use of our time.  

While I'll cater our discussion to whatever areas you may want to focus on, common topics include:
Kinematics, force, momentum and collisions, energy, rotation and torque, optics, thermodynamics, circuits, electricity and magnetism, nuclear physics, relativity, fluids, and light.

I emphasize frequent examples and regular feedback during my sessions - I firmly believe that an hour of lecture is not a good way to maximize learning.  I'll generally try to answer any questions my students have coming in, teach any new topics that may be requested, and then focus on providing and guiding students through as many examples as needed while emphasizing good note taking strategies and offering feedback.

Students should come prepared with a way to take notes (paper and pencil is preferred) as well as any quizzes, tests, homework sets, or study guides that they may want to work through.  They should also bring an appropriate calculator, if relevant.  Students are also encouraged to independently review and study their materials before we meet; we can make a lot more progress if they have already narrowed down some specific questions or topics that they would like to discuss.

At the conclusion of the session I will typically recommend and assign extra practice to supplement our discussion which should be completed before our next meeting.  Answer keys for individual review will usually be provided, as I believe immediate feedback is essential.
