Raise your AP Physics/AP Calculus scores and master tough concepts with a PhD-level full-time tutor! I specialize in AP Physics C (both mechanics and electricity & magnetism courses), AP Physics 1, AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC. I am a full-time online tutor and AP exam preparation coach. I tutor/teach the aforementioned courses at all levels, from beginner to advanced.

I have a PhD in physics from the University of California (UC), Berkeley which ranks consistently among the top 3 in physics programs globally. I taught there for many semesters, and I was granted the Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor (OGSI) award after my first semester of teaching. I consistently got superb reviews, which are available upon request.

I also have a Master's degree in philosophy of physics from the University of Oxford.

I was a Fulbright fellow. I double majored in physics and molecular biology-genetics. I spent a total of 10 months at CERN, scored a perfect 990/990 on GRE Physics exam. Both in terms of knowledge and teaching skills, I am qualified to teach especially physics and math.

I use advanced software and hardware. I utilize a professional drawing tablet and work on platforms like Adobe, Mathematica, and Dropbox to produce top-quality notes. I make a PDF out of our written notes and send them after each session.

###

+ I accommodate all time zones globally.

+ I use a 3rd party booking service that allows students to book/reschedule/cancel in a breeze.

+ My rate typically increases throughout the school year, as my schedule gets busier. You can start tutoring with me and lock the current rate (so that the rate for you never increases).

+ If the hourly rate for tutor A is twice that of tutor B, but tutor A provides twice the value as tutor B does per hour, those tutors ultimately cost the same. In addition, it would be twice as time-efficient to study with tutor A, which would allow you more time to self-study.

Feel free to reach out, I am looking forward to helping you!

Phenomenal tutor! A lifesaver! (Six 5s on AP exams)

I have two sons, who have always been schooled online, and are used to independent study and are high achievers, having straight As in all honors and AP courses. As seniors, they took “AP Physics C: Mechanics” and “AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism” via UC Scout since their school did not offer them, along with concurrent enrollment in AP Calculus BC via their school (Sep ‘23). UC Scout’s course provided very limited information, examples, and assignments, and expected students to read a University Physics text with no clarification of what sections/topics would be relevant to AP Physics C. Furthermore, the UC Scout physics teacher seemed to be part-time and unable to help and could only give answers to specific problems, and could not explain any concepts or areas of confusion. On top of this, we were traveling internationally through the end of ‘23, leaving the boys in a bind by Jan as they had made no progress, and were at risk of failing their classes. Our first attempt was a tutor on Outschool, however, their setup is more for kids who need homework help with specific questions/problems. We then tried Varsity Tutors, which was shockingly inadequate - had questionable and unverifiable qualifications. Finally, we found Ahmet on Wyzant, and it was immediately apparent that he was unlike all the other tutors. He came prepared to teach physics and had an entire setup specifically for online tutoring. From the first session, his love of physics and teaching were apparent (his animation and demeanor). Unlike the other tutors, he was able to teach physics from scratch, starting with the basics and progressing through the curriculum in a linear, understandable fashion. In each lesson, Ahmet would pick out relevant topics of the textbook, simplify them, give “tips and tricks” for understanding concepts in an intuitive way, explain any mathematical prerequisites that they had not studied, and address any questions or topics they brought up. His teaching was characterized by patience in the face of many questions and a keen focus on the boys that allowed him to pick out when they were confused or needed clarification, even before they vocalized it. Ahmet also provided ample practice material and study resources, which were crucial since physics is fundamentally a mathematical science which involves much practice. With Ahmet’s help, they finished Mechanics in March after having started with him in February (a mere one month for a six-month course) and then started and finished E&M in the same month. In addition, Ahmet provided as-needed tutoring for Calculus BC to ensure that they had a thorough understanding of the subject. Both boys finished up their course with A’s in both subjects! The boys spent the next few weeks practicing topics and problems (both Calc and Physics) with Ahmet in preparation for the AP exams. They each received a 5 in Mechanics, 5 in E&M, and 5 in Calculus BC. They couldn’t have done it without Ahmet’s help!

Extremely knowledgeable

My son needed some last minute help with AP Physics C and we went through two other physics tutors on Wyzant (they couldn't solve the problems he needed help with) before we ran across Ahmet. He was extremely knowledgeable and comfortable with the subject, super organized, and very responsive. Easy to communicate with and my son got the help he needed, zero struggle. Thank you!

Amazing AP Physics C Tutor!

I was taking AP Physics C for one semester in my senior year. I managed on my own, learning the material and studying for the initial units. However, as the course got harder towards the end of the semester without proper support from my teacher, I had dropped to a b grade. I had only two units to pull myself back to an A, and I started meeting with Ahmet towards the end of the second to last unit, but that didn't matter. He quickly picked up on what I did and didn't understand, as well as my learning style and habits. He adapted his teaching in a way I perfectly understood, and I got an A on the final test for that unit. For the last unit, he taught me everything before my teacher even introduced the topics, and I was well-prepared for every graded assignment. I ended the course with an A, which wouldn't have been possible without Ahmet's help. He is patient and friendly, and he knows the Physics C curriculum inside and out. I highly recommend him, especially if you are looking for quick help and quick results!

professional and prepared very well

Ahmet is a amazing tutor, he is very professional and know how to teach, he provide a lot of good materials for learning out of lesson. I had the pleasure of working with Ahmet for AP Physics 1 and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping his students succeed. From the very first session, Ahmet made complex topics easy to understand and provided clear, concise explanations. He tailored each topic to my specific needs and learning style, which made a significant difference in my understanding and retention of the material. What sets Ahmet apart is his ability to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment. He always made me feel comfortable asking questions and never hesitated to go the extra mile to ensure I fully grasped the concepts. Thanks to Ahmet’s guidance, I have seen a noticeable improvement in my skills, and I feel much more confident in my abilities.

AP Physics 1 Tutor

Mr. Ahmet taught me AP Physics 1. I got a 5 on the exam. The best part about Mr. Ahmet was that he explained things simplified at first to help grasp the concept, then explained the reasoning behind principles using logic and analogies. He truly explained things technically that was very beneficial in the context of Physics, but in a way that taught me how to replicate his line of thought when reading a question. His approach to questions was very straightforward and efficient that helped us get through concepts I've already understood and focus on ones I've struggled with. Highly recommend if struggling with concepts of physics. Thank you so much Mr. Ahmet and God Bless!

5 on AP Physics 1 and AP Calculus BC

Ahmet’s tutoring sessions have really helped me out with AP Physics 1 and AP Calculus BC. I remember struggling to pass Calculus BC at the beginning of the year because there were so many concepts I didn’t understand, and the teacher’s notes were not helping enough. But then I started studying with Ahmet, and I was quickly able to grasp the fundamentals needed to perform well in both classes. Ahmet’s sessions were always suited to meet my expectations, and we reviewed a lot together. His sessions are flexible, as you can bring material to him to review with you or he can provide you with quality resources that have in-depth notes and an abundance of practice problems. His approach to solving physics problems is practical and easy to follow, and he effectively understands his students by learning their thought processes for physics and calculus problems, making his tutoring more helpful. Ahmet cares for his students, and if they are willing to study hard and make good use of his sessions, Ahmet can improve his students’ understanding of their AP courses and sufficiently prepare them for the AP Tests. With the help I got from Ahmet, I got a 5 in both AP Physics 1 and AP Calculus BC!
