Calculus-based mechanics and electromagnetism for students taking the full Physics C sequence.

75-min sessions, weekly

Why a TutorA tutor

AP Physics C is split into two calculus-based exams — Mechanics, and Electricity & Magnetism — typically taken by students concurrently studying or who've already completed AP Calculus. Many engineering-focused college programs specifically prefer AP Physics C credit over AP Physics 1. Every tutor on TutorA who teaches this subject is reviewed by our team before being matched, sessions are live and 1:1 rather than pre-recorded, and pricing is shown up front so there's no guessing before you book.

Backed by our Tutor Match Guarantee

What you’ll learn

  • Calculus applied directly to motion and forces
  • Electric and magnetic fields, circuits
  • Mechanics and E&M free-response technique

Tutors for AP Physics C

Kritartha DeyIndia · 7 yrs experience

Kritartha Dey brings 7 years of experience teaching Physics and Calculus at the AP level, covering AP Physics, AP Physics C, and AP Calculus BC alongside foundational Physics and Calculus. His approach is student-centered, built for learners navigating international curricula who need more than a generic explanation of formulas — they need concepts connected to how the actual exam is structured. Kritartha works with students preparing for specific AP exams as well as those building a broader foundation in physics and calculus before advanced coursework. Based in India, he teaches online through live 1:1 sessions on TutorA, adjusting pace and depth to match each student's starting point rather than running a fixed syllabus.

AP Physics C FAQ

You should be taking calculus concurrently at minimum — the exam uses derivatives and integrals directly, unlike the algebra-based AP Physics 1.

Yes — Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism are scored separately, and many students sit both in the same exam sitting.

Many schools sequence it that way, though it isn't a strict requirement everywhere. Check your school's course sequencing, or see our AP Physics 1 page if that's what applies to you.

Each of the two exams — Mechanics and E&M — is scored 1–5 independently.
