How to Work With an AP Physics Tutor

One way to ensure that you get the most value from your education is to hire a guide, someone who can provide personal attention to facilitate your learning process.  Given that AP Physics is one of the most challenging courses you can take in high school, and given that it is usually preparation for even more specialized studies, hiring a dedicated AP Physics tutor makes a lot of sense.  The responsibility for getting the most out of your education, however, still belongs to you, the student.  Here are some steps you should take to ensure that you are using your AP Physics tutor’s services wisely.

Do Your Best On Your Own

The most successful physicists and engineers have been the ones who are independent thinkers.  Before dumping all the responsibility in your tutor’s lap, try your best to read and understand the material and work through the problems on your own.  If you get stuck in one place, don’t stop there and throw up your hands in frustration; instead note the difficulty you are having and move on as best you can.  Not only will this build the study skills that you will need to progress along your educational path, it is also cost effective.  The time you spend with your AP Physics tutor should be spent on filling in the gaps in your understanding, not starting from scratch.
