Is there no way to transition into a physics stream through hard work?

Calculus and physics, sure. I might be able to help you out if we could get on IM somehow.

Free of charge, since I'm still a student. I'm interested in becoming a math/physics teacher in the future, so I could use the practice; and I have plenty of free time an energy.

Send me a PM here on the forum if you're interested (perhaps with your
IM info, if you have any).

I might be able to find you an online textbook.

Go to craigslist and look for science tutors (college level with MSs or PHDs in your area).
They generally charge you $15/hour for say someone with a PH.D in applied math.

These guys are desperate for work right now (and in the future) and should be pretty easy to find for slave prices. Hire them to teach you twice a week... and force you to complete college level curriculum every semester.
Cheapest, best and easiest way to learn these kinds of things at your age
(talking at most $600-1000/semester doing this)
After that just sit for everything from the BC Calc test to the highest AP Physics/Chem tests and go into your nearest state school placing out of all of the first year crap (English would be nice too... since that test is sooo easy)

What math are you in? Before you get to Calculus, you have to make sure that you have Alg 2, Trig, and Precal under your belt. How comfortable are you with your math?
