- AP Physics C1 Program: A Structured Path to Excellence for AP Physics C: Mechanics

This program is designed for high school students who have planned to self-study AP Physics C: Mechanics, but now want a clear, reliable path to success. Students should have completed, or be currently taking, AP Calculus and AP Physics 1.

Self-studying AP Physics C can quickly become overwhelming without proper structure and guidance. This program is built to reduce stress, confusion, and wasted effort, while helping students learn more efficiently and confidently.

**Clear structure and direction**
Students receive a complete roadmap of required topics, clear learning objectives, and a realistic study pace—eliminating guesswork and fear of missing important material. Carefully curated, high-quality resources (instructional videos, practice problems, and assessments) ensure time is spent learning, not searching.

**Continuous feedback and guidance**
Through lectures, homework, and offline messaging, students receive ongoing feedback to correct misunderstandings early and reinforce correct reasoning. Regular practice and progress checks help students track improvement and build confidence without relying on inefficient self-assessment.

**Motivation, discipline, and accountability**
Success in AP Physics C requires first-principles thinking, critical thinking, and strong problem-solving habits. This program explicitly trains these skills while providing external structure and accountability, reducing procrastination and burnout to help students maintain steady momentum.

Excellent tutor

William tutored my sophomore in high school this year. He taught the material for AP Physics C, both Mechanics & Electricity & Magnetism. My son's high school did not have the class and William was his only source of learning. William was patient, meticulous and methodical in his approach both in class and homework. He covered all the topics in a very organized way and prepared my son with test prep. Not only did my son get a 5 in both AP tests but his knowledge and approach to physics is all due to William's teaching. He thoroughly enjoyed his classes with William and learnt a lot in the process. I highly recommend him and I hope he continues to teach till my younger son gets to high school.

Top-notch AP Physics C tutor

William is indeed a top-notch AP Physics tutor. He helped my daughter a lot to improve her grade finishing with A for AP Physics C -Mechanics. He is extremely helpful in making the connection between concepts and math. He helps work out every problem step-by-step ensuring the student understands each step and can apply it outside of the tutoring session. Additionally, he is very supportive and motivating while working with students. I am very glad that I found him from Wyzant.

Fantastic & organized

Goes over components and takes questions. So thrilled to have found him. Even gives me questions to review concepts and then we move on progressively Gives notes after the lesson and makes me do the problems. Love it

Great!

William's way of structuring his lessons are unique, he has his own course plan to teach the students important physics concepts. I find this to be way more beneficial to students who are starting from scratch and need help understanding the base concepts.

Great for for my son!!

My son has never needed help in school so we were wondering how much an online session would help. He was so happy with William. He said he not only knew everything about the AP Physics 2 content, but also just spoke his language. Just a great fit for my son :)

Excellent Physics Tutor

My son is a good student, who had never struggled with a class up until he reached AP Physics. Even though he was doing well on daily assignments, he was consistently making 60s and 70s on quizzes and tests. Once he started working with William, he began to understand the concepts much better, and his confidence and ability to apply them increased immensely. After only a few sessions, he was scoring A’s, and B’s on quizzes and tests. He recently took the AP test for physics, and feels very confident with how he did. I know he would not have been able to do this without Williams’s help and tutorials. I would highly recommend William to anyone who has an AP physics student who is struggling or just needs help with understanding the concepts. My son told me that if William had been the teacher in his classroom, he would have had an A the entire year!

A great tutor!

William helped my son prepare for AP Physics 1 because the teacher at school left in the middle of the Fall semester and the class was behind in completing the curriculum. William was very easy to work with, and he was very responsive when we had a question and to reschedule sessions due to my son’s athletic schedule. My son felt William really helped him with content not only for the exam but for the course. If my son needs tutoring for AP Physics 2, we would want to work with William again. Thank you William!

Patient and helpful tutor

I have been working with William to learn the AP Physics C curriculum for over a year now and can confidently state that he is an incredible physics teacher. Although my school does not offer AP classes, I was able to cover and understand everything in the curriculum by meeting twice a week with William (one hour per session) and got a 5 on the Mechanics exam. I am now preparing for the E&M test with him, following the same schedule. He explains the material very clearly and in several different ways, which shows connections between various concepts, and the homework helps apply material in different situations. I have learned a lot from William and am greatly looking forward to continuing with him this year.

Patient and Thorough

My daughter is a straight A honor student. She’s never needed any help with her lessons until AP Physics. I found Mr William here on Wyzant and Im grateful that I did. He is precise and thorough. My daughter is challenged to think critically and apply the concepts she’s learned. Highly recommend!

Excellent

My son had his first session with William last week for AP Physics 1, and was impressed with his skills.William was patient, knowledgeable and clear in his instruction.
