Srinivas Polisetty, PhD

Your advanced background makes you ideal for college-level courses that require deep conceptual explanations.

AP Precalculus (The newest AP math track focusing on modeling)
AP Calculus AB (Equivalent to college Calculus 1)
AP Calculus BC (Advanced track covering Calculus 1 & 2, Taylor series, and polar coordinates)
AP Statistics (Data analysis, probability, and statistical inference)
IB Mathematics (Analysis & Approaches SL/HL, Applications & Interpretation SL/HL)

These are the foundational and standard track math courses required for middle and high school students.

Because physics requires a strong grasp of both concepts and math, you can easily guide students through all introductory and calculus-heavy tiers.

Regular & Honors Physics (High school level mechanics, waves, and basic circuits)
AP Physics 1 (Algebra-based mechanics and fluids)
AP Physics 2 (Algebra-based thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics)
AP Physics C: Mechanics (Calculus-based college-level physics for engineering majors)
AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism (One of the most rigorous AP courses offered in high school)
IB Physics (SL/HL) (International Baccalaureate curriculum)

Many parents seek out specialized math/physics tutors specifically to boost scores on college admissions and placement tests.

Digital SAT Math (Targeted strategies for the adaptive digital exam)
ACT Math & ACT Science (Timing strategies for the fast-paced ACT sections)
PSAT/NMSQT Math (Preparing students to qualify for National Merit Scholarships)
AP/IB Exam Cram Boot Camps (Intensive spring review sessions ahead of May testing)
