This page provides the links to my videos on this site and are arranged according to the AP Physics - the algebra course.
NOTE: These videos are not created with AP physics outcomes specifically in mind. However the videos hopefully will be useful if you are studying AP Physics
Some TOPICS don't have videos, though in quite a few cases my videos cover more than one TOPIC
More will be added over time, including AP Physics C courses
If you are wanting something expedited, contact me
Those with an *asterisk have an associated worked sample
