A-Level Physics asks a lot more of students than GCSE. The ideas become more abstract and the maths more demanding. Exam questions also expect students to apply what they know to situations they haven’t met before.
Many students understand the content in class but struggle to use it in the exam. My lessons are designed to close that gap.
Year 12 results feed into predicted grades, which play a major part in university and apprenticeship applications, so early support pays off.
I provide one-to-one and small-group A-Level Physics tutoring shaped around each student’s needs, whether they are finding the step up difficult or aiming for an A*.
I introduce exam technique from the very first lesson. Students learn how to approach unfamiliar questions with confidence and write answers that match what examiners are looking for.
We also cover the practical skills tested in the written papers, including uncertainties and data analysis. Then we work through past papers together, building up to the hardest problems, so students sit their exams knowing they’ve already tackled the toughest questions.
Lessons start with homework and a recap of the previous topic. We then explore the main topic in depth, building from the core ideas to the maths that describes them. The second half is spent on exam questions, including unfamiliar problems and practical skills questions, and each lesson ends with targeted practice for the week ahead.
Lessons cover the full A-Level Physics course, including:
Lessons follow each student’s exam board specification and past papers.
You shouldn’t have to wait for a school report or parents’ evening to find out how your son or daughter is getting on.
I call every parent at least once a month to talk through their child’s progress, including what’s going well and where they need more attention. Between calls, I keep in touch by WhatsApp with messages and voice notes, and you can reach me by phone or WhatsApp whenever you’d like to talk.
I set targeted homework where it will help. It gives students extra Physics practice between lessons and lets me track their progress from week to week.
Every lesson is interactive. I follow your child’s working as they tackle each problem, so I can check their understanding in real time and make sure no gaps go unnoticed.
Every minute of a one-to-one lesson is focused on your child. I work at their pace and concentrate on the topics where they need the most help.
Small groups of up to 10 bring together students studying the same course at a similar level. They learn from each other’s questions while still getting plenty of individual attention.
At least 40% of the marks in A-Level Physics assess mathematical skills. As a Maths tutor as well as a Physics tutor, I make sure a student’s maths never holds back their Physics.
Many A-Level students have free periods in their timetable. In addition to lessons after school, I offer daytime lessons so study time is put to good use, leaving evenings free for homework and revision.
My website includes free A-Level Physics exam questions organised by topic. Students can use them to practise between lessons and check how well they know each area.
If your son or daughter is planning to study Physics at university, I can help with their UCAS application. I’ll proofread their personal statement and give an honest view on how well it shows their understanding of, and enthusiasm for, the subject.
I studied Physics with Theoretical Physics at the University of Nottingham and graduated top of my year. I know what a strong application for a Maths or Physics degree looks like.
Finding a specialist A-Level Physics tutor locally isn’t always easy. I’m based in South Woodford and work with sixth form students across East London and Essex, including Woodford Green, Walthamstow, Chigwell and Epping.
Lessons follow the exam board your son or daughter is studying, so whichever school or college they attend, the work matches what they’ll face in their exams.
I have a First Class Honours degree in Physics with Theoretical Physics from the University of Nottingham, a Russell Group university. I graduated at the top of my cohort. Before that, I achieved A* grades in A-Level Maths and A-Level Physics.
I’ve been tutoring since 2020, specialising in Maths and Physics for students aged 11 to 18.
My approach is simple. I explain topics clearly and give students plenty of exam practice, with regular feedback so they keep making progress.
Physics is my specialist subject. The topics students find hardest at A-Level, such as fields, quantum phenomena and simple harmonic motion, are ones I studied in far greater depth at university. I can explain them clearly and show students how the ideas connect, so they understand the physics rather than trying to memorise it.
Based in South Woodford.
I’ll call you for a free, no-obligation chat to find out how your child is getting on and what they need help with. I’ll explain how I work and answer any questions you have, including about cost.
A paid trial lesson gives your child the chance to experience my teaching first-hand.
We’ll agree on a regular lesson time that suits you, and your child can start making progress straight away.
I cover all major exam boards for A-Level Physics and match lessons to each student’s specification and past papers.
Yes. Practical skills are tested in the written exams, so lessons cover uncertainties and graphical analysis alongside the theory.
Yes, and many of my students take both. Having one tutor for both subjects makes it easier to link the maths and the physics.
Starting early in Year 12 is ideal, as the step up from GCSE is significant. I also work with Year 13 students preparing for their final exams.
Yes. Daytime lessons are available for A-Level students and fit neatly into free periods in their timetable.
No. Mocks give an honest snapshot of where a student stands. I’ll go through the paper with them and build lessons around the topics and skills that cost marks, so the gaps are closed before the final exams.
Yes. I can proofread a UCAS personal statement for a Physics degree and give an honest view on how well it presents the student. I studied Physics with Theoretical Physics at Nottingham myself, so I understand what the degree involves.
The cost of A-Level Physics tutoring depends on whether your son or daughter has one-to-one or small-group lessons, as group lessons cost less per student. I’ll talk you through the fees during a free, no-obligation call, once I understand what they need.
One-to-one lessons suit students who need help with difficult topics or are aiming for an A*. Small groups of up to 10 work well for A-Level exam practice and revision. I’ll give you my honest recommendation once we’ve spoken.
A laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection, plus a scientific calculator and the data and formulae booklet for the student’s exam board. A mouse or stylus makes it easier to write out working, and we’ll get everything ready before the first lesson.
Get in touch to talk about how I can help your son or daughter with A-Level Physics. I’ll call you back for a free chat to find out where they are now and what they need, and explain how lessons work.
