Why Work with Dr. Ma?
Work Directly with Dr. Ma
Every student works personally with Dr. Ma. There is no assignment to junior tutors, teaching assistants, or rotating instructors.
Physics from AP to Graduate Level
Students can continue with the same instructor as their coursework becomes increasingly advanced throughout high school and university.
Independent Problem Solving
The focus is not only on knowing formulas, but on learning how to begin and solve unfamiliar problems independently.
Personalized Preparation
Lessons and practice are built around the student's actual course, specific weaknesses, and problem-solving habits.

Are You Ready for Your AP Exams?
The revised AP Physics and AP Calculus exams heavily test conceptual reasoning. Knowing the formula is simply no longer enough. My Mastery Checks will identify hidden gaps in your mathematical and physical intuition before the real exam does.
