Testimonials

The instructor is very enthusiastic about his job and clearly teaches all the problems. I also love how he used to show us youtube videos about physics in order for us to further learn on how physics is implemented in the real world.

F=ma Advanced student

The handouts we received in class were very helpful and also gave us a lot of practice.

F=ma Summer Camp student

This class was probably the best class I have taken so far. Even though the course work was a bit heavy, the teacher made it incredibly fun to learn physics.

F=ma Basic student

Last year, I got a <14 on the AMC 8, and I was unable to solve the majority of the problems on the exam; I recall not being able to do nothing past problem 15. Now, I easily qualified for AIME and have been able to consistently solve the first 10 AIME problems on past contests. I credit this almost solely to A*.

Sal is a very fun person! He is a great teacher and gives great feedback and advice.
