Mr. Kikugawa is an intimidating teacher, but he definitely knows his stuff. Whether you're taking AP Research, AP Physics, or AP Comp Sci, he's always there to help when you have questions. He's normally busy after school with robotics, but if you're patient and you wait in line, he's always willing to lend a hand. Keep in mind that Mr. Kikugawa's strategy to helping others is more of a "figure-it-out-yourself" and less of a "i'll give you the answer" type of approach. So if you don't understand something, be clear, and you'll get it eventually. In general though, his classes are pretty hard, but they're definitely worth it if you want to commit the time and effort into them. He's a great teacher, so don't get too scared!
