Hi! I'm Palmer Blackstock, a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Chicago and over two years of experience in tutoring high school and college students. My primary focus is on Physics at both introductory and advanced levels, with an additional focus in math subjects like Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus. In my past tutoring I've helped students grasp complex concepts in mechanics, waves, and electromagnetism, as well as math concepts in trigonometry and calculus. I believe in a collaborative, student-centered approach, where I'll ask the student what they know, what they don't know, and what they want to get out of our tutoring sessions. I always tailor my lessons to meet a student's individual needs. I'm dedicated not only to enhancing a student's understanding of math and science concepts but also fostering a love of science by providing engaging content and real-world examples. In addition to my passion for education, I also love writing and journalism, especially finding engaging methods for science communication. I enjoy reading books and listening to science podcasts. But I'm also an avid video game and board game player.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism covers electrostatics (electric fields, forces, and potential), conductors and insulators, capacitance, electric circuits, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, and Maxwell's equations. The exam emphasizes calculus-based problem solving and deep conceptual understanding rather than memorization. This course is significantly more rigorous than the AP Physics 2 equivalent, requiring strong calculus skills and the ability to apply mathematical reasoning to complex physical phenomena.
Students often struggle with the integration of calculus into physics problem-solving, particularly when deriving electric and magnetic fields from charge distributions. Many find the abstract nature of electromagnetic concepts—especially magnetic fields and Faraday's law—difficult to visualize. Time management during the exam is another common challenge, as the free-response section requires detailed mathematical derivations and explanations that demand careful pacing and organization.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific weak areas—whether that's understanding Gauss's law, mastering circuit analysis, or applying Lenz's law—and create a targeted study plan. Tutors can break down complex concepts into digestible pieces, work through practice problems at your pace, and help you develop the problem-solving strategies needed for both the multiple-choice and free-response sections. Regular practice with feedback on your work builds both conceptual mastery and test-taking confidence.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, consistency, and how much time you dedicate to studying. Students who work with tutors typically see meaningful gains—often 1-2 points on the 5-point AP scale—when they commit to regular sessions (weekly or bi-weekly) and complete practice problems between appointments. The most significant improvements come from closing conceptual gaps and developing efficient problem-solving techniques rather than last-minute cramming.
Practice tests are essential for success on the AP exam. They help you understand the question formats, develop pacing strategies for the 90-minute exam, and identify which topics need more review. Tutors typically recommend taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions every 2-3 weeks during your preparation, then reviewing your mistakes carefully to understand not just the correct answer, but why your approach was incorrect. This retrieval practice—testing yourself repeatedly—is one of the most effective study strategies.
Yes, calculus is essential for AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism. You'll need to be comfortable with derivatives and integrals, particularly when deriving electric fields using Gauss's law and calculating work and potential energy. If your calculus skills are rusty or weak, addressing this early is crucial—many students find that gaps in calculus are the real barrier to understanding the physics concepts. Tutors can help bridge calculus and physics, showing you how mathematical tools connect to physical meaning.
Your first session will focus on understanding your current level, learning goals, and specific challenges. Expect to discuss which topics feel most confusing, review your recent test scores or practice problems, and work through a sample problem together so the tutor can assess your problem-solving approach. From there, the tutor will outline a personalized study plan tailored to your timeline and target score, whether you're preparing months in advance or tackling the course during the school year.
