2025-2026 Academic Year
The 2025-2026 academic year starts on September 8th, 2025. Registration is now open.
How Our Classes Work
Our physics program runs on a three-trimester schedule: Fall, Winter, and Spring.
Each trimester includes 11–12 engaging weekly classes designed to spark curiosity and deepen understanding of physics concepts.​
Registration for the Fall trimester opens in August, registration for the Winter trimester opens in November, and registration for the Spring trimester opens in February.

Courses
Survey of Physics
For ages 8–11 or first-year students, this fast-paced and engaging course covers a wide range of topics: mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, quantum physics, and—new this year—thermal physics. It is ideal for curious learners not yet ready to dive deeply into math but eager to explore the universe! This course meets on Mondays either at 12 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET.
​
Full-Year Mechanics
This course is for students ages 11–13, second-year students, or younger learners who want to start exploring the mathematics of physics. It focuses solely on mechanics, encouraging deeper conceptual understanding and beginning problem-solving with equations. It is a great next step for students ready to build confidence in the foundations of physics. This course meets on Wednesdays at 12 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET.
​
Advanced Physics (AP Level)
For ages 13–16 or those who have completed one or two years with me.
This course is taught at a very high level—similar to AP Physics or even first-year college physics—and involves rigorous exploration, advanced problem-solving, and rich discussions of underlying principles. It meets on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET.

Course Description:
​​Survey of Physics: This course covers a wide variety of topics at a faster pace. I have been teaching it for the past couple of years, and it has been very successful in introducing the kids to a wide range of topics, from mechanics to electricity and magnetism to optics to quantum mechanics and much more.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This course will be offered only at one level, based on my past two years of teaching it. ​​​​Each trimester consists of 12 classes, each running for an hour. The price of each class is $25/ hour or $300/trimester.​​
​
Full Year Mechanics Course: A full-year Mechanics course that allows for more in-depth physics discussions and proper use of my workbooks. This course may be appropriate for older kids and those who want to have an experience similar to their first-year high school physics course or homeschoolers who are taking this course in place of their high school physics course. The price of each class is $25/ hour or $300/trimester.​​
Supplementary Thursday Courses
​Fall Semester: Experiments in Physics
This will be a supplementary, hands-on, experimental physics class where we will recreate some of the most iconic experiments in physics history and present our findings.​ Each week, the students conduct a classic experiment, analyze the data, and discuss the underlying physics principles. For this class, the students need more help and support from the parents of older siblings at home. Some of the experiments we’ll explore include: ​​​​
Winter Semester: Physics of Sports
Discover the science behind athletic performance! We’ll explore the physics of swimming, high jumping, running, basketball, baseball, gymnastics, and more, analyzing concepts like force, motion, aerodynamics, and energy transfer in different sports.​​​​​​​
​
Spring Semester: Physics Café
This weekly gathering is where young minds explore advanced physics topics in a relaxed, collaborative setting. Each week, a student leads the discussion on a chosen research topic—either theoretical or experimental—while we watch videos, share ideas, and enjoy snacks. It's a space to ask big questions, debate scientific ideas, and spark curiosity together.​​
