Live online · College Board AP Physics curriculum

Physics makes sense once someone shows you the current.

One-on-one and small-group sessions built around the College Board AP Physics curriculum. We work through circuits, fields and free-body problems live, instead of just lecturing.

An engineer's approach to teaching physics

I've taught the American curriculum at Dubai National School Al‑Barsha since 2019. My courses are Physics 1, AP Physics 2, and AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, and I planned and developed the E&M curriculum myself.

My background isn't purely academic. With a mechatronics engineering degree and hands-on work in Arduino, control systems and electrical wiring, the circuits I teach are ones I've actually built. The diagrams and simulations on this site come from the same place: I draw them myself, the way I'd sketch them on a whiteboard mid-lesson.

I later completed a Master's in Cybersecurity, which mostly shows up here as a habit. I like systems that behave predictably, and I teach physics the same way: build the model first, then trust the math.
