Dr John C
Physics Tutor

I am experienced as a Head of Physics & Science at a large secondary school, teaching GCSE, A-Level and IB-HL&SL Physics. As of 2023, I will have been teaching for over 40 years. I have examined and written exams for GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level and the IB. I train teachers to teach physics, and with students across the world, I provide face-to-face support, on-line teaching and revision (at all levels). On a personal note, I would say that probably the most important thing about teaching, is that you are helping our younger generations to grow as responsible people, caring for others and the world we live in. It is important to be a positive role model and to show them that they can be better than they know they can be. This requires care and respect and is something I am deeply passionate about. I believe this is a crucial aspect of what a teacher does and it is part of why I love what I do.

Mr Paul H
Physics Tutor

I have tutored Maths, Chemistry and Biology to GCSE, and Physics to A-level for many years. Over the last year I have also started tutoring A-level Chemistry and A-level Maths. Before this I taught as a qualified science teacher for 10 years. I started teaching online some time before the pandemic and use a variety of software which allows for effective collaboration, lesson recording. Students get clear organised notes, simulations, videos which can be accessed at any time. I also run seminars and training to other tutors on how to teach online effectively. Before my career as a science teacher, I spent 5 years travelling around Asia teaching which is where I learnt my love of teaching to others. I then came back to the UK to work in schools as a teaching support assistant for a year and a half before training as a science teacher specialising in Physics.

Mr Andrew W
Physics Tutor

I have been teaching Physics for the last 35 years and have worked as Head of Physics in a large International school for the last 26 years. I am now based in the UK. I am a fully experienced teacher and an examiner for AQA and CAIE for Advanced Level Physics. I actually really enjoy learning myself and regularly study with Open University to improve my knowledge in many different fields. I believe education is a lifelong process and hope to encourage this in my students - sometimes to their horror!! I think Physics is often perceived as difficult because the ideas are frequently explained poorly. With a good foundation, Physics can grow in complexity, but poor foundations mean frustration and difficulty. My aim is to make students self-confident in their study skills as well as in their specific subject knowledge.

Dr William M
Physics Tutor

I have a degree in Chemistry from Glasgow University and a PhD from Strathclyde University. I obtained my postgraduate teacher training from Paisley University. My career started in the chemical and biotech industries. I have worked for GSK and Avecia and enjoyed the problem-solving and practical hands-on aspect of working in industry. Since 2007, I have been employed in education, teaching in schools, colleges, and universities and as a trainer in industry. At present, I work in an international school teaching Chemistry and Physics. My belief is all educators should first have used their disciplines in real life environments to be effective teachers. My experience covers A-level AQA (though most exam bodies are similiar) , igcse (Cambridge) and IB chemistry.

What is Physics?

Physics is the study of the world around us. In simple terms Physics explains how things happen. Why do things fall, speed up, slow down? Why do bulbs or LEDs light up? How do speakers make sounds? How does lightning happen? How does ultrasound see inside us? How does a mobile phone work? How do lenses help us see better? How do signals travel to us from space? How do the planets orbit the sun? How are stars formed? How do Nuclear Power Stations work? How do huge ships stay afloat? These and many other questions are answered by learning about the main branches of Physics including force and energy, materials and particles, radiation, electricity, magnetism and electromagnetism, waves, thermal physics, space physics.

GCSE and IGCSE Physics Tuition

At GCSE level, Physics is either studied as separate subject or makes up a third of Combined Science. As a separate subject, Physics can be studied as Single Science and receive a full GCSE grade. In Combined Science, the extension topics in Physics, Chemistry and Biology are not taken and the exams in all three subjects lead to two GCSE grades, so it is sometimes referred to as Dual Award Science. If a student intends to study Physics at A level then it is best, though not essential, that they take Physics as a Single Science. The main awarding bodies are AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC, Eduqas (part of WJEC) CCEA in Northern Ireland and SQA in Scotland. Assessment is through written exam papers, typically 2 x two hour papers or 3 x 90 minute papers. There is no separate practical assessment or coursework, but questions will be set based on the core practical activities the students will have carried out for themselves.

GCSE Physics Past Papers
A-Level Physics Tuition

For entry into A-Level many schools would want to see a grade 7 or higher at GCSE, otherwise a student may struggle to do well at A-Level. At A-Level the concepts and ideas studied for GCSE are built upon and taken further, along with some applications of Physics which may include Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics and Electronics. A-Level Physics also involves a large amount of practical work.

Assessment is typically three written papers, each around two hours long. A-Level Physics can give access to a wide range of university courses and consequently related careers, such as Physics, Engineering, Astrophysics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Sports Science and Pharmacy amongst others.

A-Level Physics Past Papers

Tuition with a qualified Physics teacher at your home costs from £46.00 ph. Online tuition with a qualified Physics teacher costs from £40.00 ph. Create your own small tuition group and Physics tuition costs from £17.50 ph.

Because we only ever work with qualified and experienced Physics teachers, you will always get a highly experienced teacher who is safe, reliable and up to speed with the current curriculum and exam requirements. There is no excellent learning without excellent teaching, and our Physics teachers are expected to teach in a way that inspires and motivates. We have over 20,000 talented teachers providing tuition, chosen for their broad range of experience, professionalism, academic specialisms, passion, and dedication to their students. We only ever offer qualified teachers as tutors, as we believe professional teachers provide the highest quality of tuition.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a Physics tutor coming to your home to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection. Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.

Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the Physics tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the Physics tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the Physics tutor is required to travel to your home. Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your Physics tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition. Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.

Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your Physics tutor will only be working with your child. Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of Physics tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication. Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style. Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.

The choice between home, online, or small group Physics tuition depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
