01
A mentor who knows the student
Every student works with a human Physics mentor. Before each class the mentor gets a brief: recent errors, mastery changes and what to focus on, so time is spent teaching rather than re-diagnosing.
Super-Intelligent AP Physics Mentoring
Expert 1-to-1 AP Physics mentoring that learns how each student thinks.
A human Physics mentor leads every student. Our Physics Intelligence Engine works alongside them, reading how a student solves problems, finding the gaps behind their mistakes and adapting what they practise next.

Human-led. Intelligence-supported.
The mentor stays at the centre. The Physics Intelligence Engine makes the mentor's attention go further, so they can understand a student's learning state in seconds instead of reviewing dozens of data points by hand.
02
Assessment that reads the working
Answers are checked step by step. Numerical results are validated with deterministic calculation, not guessed by a language model, and free-response work is scored against a point-by-point rubric.
03
Practice that adapts
Daily practice mixes prerequisite repair, targeted concepts, known misconceptions and AP-style questions, and resurfaces topics a student has not shown recently.
04
Progress parents can follow
Parents see classes, assignments and a plain-language picture of strengths and areas that need attention, with reports the mentor approves before they are sent.
The learning loop at the heart of APPhysics.si
Every answer a student gives feeds back into what happens next. The loop runs continuously from the first diagnostic to exam day.
Step 1
Diagnose
A free adaptive diagnostic maps concept mastery, prerequisite gaps and problem-solving habits.
Step 2
Model
The student model records what the student has demonstrated, concept by concept, with how confident we are.
Step 3
Plan
A learning path orders concepts by prerequisites, goals, exam date and time available, and says why.
Step 4
Teach
The mentor teaches 1-to-1, guided by a class brief and free to override any recommendation.
Step 5
Practise
Adaptive daily practice and assignments target the concepts and errors that matter most now.
Step 6
Evaluate
Work is graded with deterministic checks, rubrics and AI reasoning, and uncertain cases go to the mentor.
Step 7
Adapt
Errors and mastery update the student model, and the next activity changes to match.
…and back to step 2, with a better model of the student each time.
Not just right or wrong: why it went wrong
A student who does not understand torque needs different help from one who understands it but drops a sign. The engine classifies each mistake so practice targets the real cause.

Common questions
What is APPhysics.si?
APPhysics.si is an AP Physics mentoring service. Each student works 1-to-1 with a human Physics mentor, supported by our Physics Intelligence Engine, software that assesses work, tracks concept mastery and adapts practice between classes.
What do you mean by "Super Intelligence"?
"Super Intelligence" (SI) is our name for the Physics Intelligence Engine that supports mentors. It combines a map of AP Physics concepts, deterministic physics and maths checking, and AI models for reading written work. It is not literally superintelligent, and it does not replace the tutor: the tutor makes the teaching decisions and can override any assessment.
Which courses do you cover?
AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, following the unit structure of the current AP course frameworks.
How does the free diagnostic work?
The diagnostic is a short adaptive assessment for the course you choose. Question difficulty adjusts as you go, and results are weighted by difficulty and concept rather than counted as a simple percentage. You get a mastery profile, the prerequisite gaps we found and a suggested starting point.
Is my mentor a real person?
Yes. Every mentoring student has a human Physics mentor. The software prepares information for the mentor and handles practice between classes.
Start with what you already know.
The free diagnostic shows which concepts are secure, which prerequisites are missing and where your mentor should begin.
