Check on Nextdoor and Wyzant. I was asking in local Fb groups and was given a lot of recs for people who wanted $150 hr for math tutoring for a 5th grader. I then found a retired MCPS teacher through Nextdoor who charges $60. Same thing for my high schooler. I found someone on Wyzant who teaches precalculus in Nj and uses the same book/syllabus as MCPS and charges $70 hr.

It’s a tough class. My kid is taking it right now and struggling.

People take AP Phys 1 after Honors? Who? Why? How do they fit it in schedule?
It's not for STEM majors, and non-STEM majors wouldn't be interested.
No people take AP physics 1 INSTEAD of honors physics to boost their gpa. They take it as their first physics class in high school.
AP and Honors give the same WGPA quality point boost.
The only students (in the general HS population) who should take AP Physics 1 are ones who are interested in STEM but won’t be at AP BC Calculus by 12th grade to take AP Physics C concurrently.

Princeton Review has AP tutors who can help with Physics. Look them up.

How many thousands of dollars do you want to pump into a small bump in achievement?
AP Physics 1 isn't worth that investment. How are they doing in core math?
