GCSE Physics Tutors
Eight specialist Physics tutors, every one teaching both AQA and Pearson Edexcel, at both tiers. Lessons work from past papers and real mark scheme feedback.
Six things a general science tutor will not give you.
Most students who struggle with Physics do not struggle with the ideas. They struggle with the arithmetic wrapped around them.
GCSE Physics at a Glance
GCSE Physics is graded 9 to 1 and entered at one of two tiers. Foundation runs from grade 1 to 5. Higher runs from 4 up to 9.
Both AQA and Edexcel set two written papers. Each lasts 1 hour 45 minutes, carries 100 marks, and is worth half the grade.
There is no coursework. The required practicals are assessed inside those written papers, which is where many students lose easy marks.
Every Physics Topic We Cover
The eight topic areas on the AQA course. Edexcel orders them differently but examines the same physics, so lessons map across either way.
Practice From Real Physics Papers
Lessons work through genuine past papers and their mark schemes, not imitation questions written to look like them.
AQA GCSE Physics
Two papers of 1 hour 45 minutes. Paper 1 covers energy, electricity, particles and atomic structure. Paper 2 covers forces, waves and magnetism.
Edexcel GCSE Physics
The same length and mark total as AQA, with the topics grouped differently. Tutors teach to the paper your child will actually sit.
Marked as an examiner would
Your tutor marks the work against the real mark scheme, so a missing unit or an unrounded answer shows up long before the exam.
The formula sheet, used properly
Some equations are given and some must be recalled. Students practise both until choosing the right one is automatic.
Exam technique
Decoding command words, structuring 6-mark answers, and timing, the marks students leave on the table.
An hour built around the marks your child is losing.
We start from the mark scheme, not the next chapter
Your tutor marks a recent paper first and finds where the marks went. We build the lesson from those questions, not from wherever the textbook happens to be.
Worked live, not watched
Students work problems on a shared whiteboard while the tutor watches the working, so the tutor catches a wrong method as it happens.
Practice set every week
Each lesson ends with questions on the topic just covered, marked before the next one so nothing is assumed.

Where Physics Marks Are Really Lost
Most lost marks are not topics a student cannot do. They come from units left off, formulas rearranged wrongly, and six-mark answers that never explain.
Units and standard form
Converting millimetres to metres, or grams to kilograms, before substituting. The physics is right and the mark still goes.
Rearranging under pressure
Students who can rearrange calmly at home freeze in the exam. We drill it until it is muscle memory, not a puzzle.
Practical detail
Naming the control variable and the source of error earns marks. Vague answers about "being accurate" earn none.
Six-mark explanations
These need linked reasoning, not a list of facts. Students practise writing one cause leading to the next.

What the Reviews Actually Say
physics equations and electricity concepts were a huge hurdle for my daughter. her online tutor simplified physics theories brilliantly.
my physics tutor was amazing at breaking down electromagnetism and mechanics. i actually enjoyed studying for my physics paper for once!
top-quality physics tuition. the tutor focused heavily on past paper application, which gave my son immense confidence in the exam hall.
GCSE Physics Questions
Should my child take Foundation or Higher?
Foundation caps the grade at 5. A child targeting 6 or above needs Higher. We review the mocks with you before entries close.
Which boards do your Physics tutors teach?
All eight teach the AQA course and all eight also teach Edexcel. Each profile lists the boards that tutor covers, subject by subject.
My child is fine in class but loses marks in exams.
That is usually calculation and command words, not knowledge. We mark a real paper first to find which of the two it is.
Is Physics harder than Combined Science?
It goes deeper and carries more content, including space and extra electricity. Students taking it usually want a science at the next level.
How often should lessons run?
One 60-minute lesson weekly suits most students. Two is common in the term before the exam, or after a weak mock.
Do you cover the required practicals?
Yes. They carry marks on both written papers, so tutors drill the method, the variables and the likely sources of error.
