A-Level Physics Tutors

A-Level physics doubles as an applied maths course, and the grade often carries the university offer. One-to-one tuition builds the method behind multi-step problems, with the maths support built in.

Maths support built in Matched to your exam board Rated Excellent by parents

The short answer

An A-Level physics tutor works one-to-one on your exam board's exact specification, from mechanics to fields, with the maths support built in: strengthening the algebra behind the physics, working real past papers and drilling the multi-step problems that decide grades. Lessons are online and scheduled around sixth form.

The step-up moments

Where A-Level physics catches strong students

Fine at maths, stuck in physics

Turning a situation into an equation is the real skill. Tutors teach that translation, with the maths support built in.

Multi-step problems fall apart

One wobble in step two sinks the whole question. Method and structure are coachable.

The offer needs an A

A university offer turns every mock into a checkpoint.

Practical marks slipping away

Uncertainties, graphs and required-practical questions reward rehearsal more than talent.

Across the course

Weighted to where your marks say the work is

Mechanics & materials

the foundation

Forces, motion, energy and materials: the intuition every later topic is built on.

Fields & further mechanics

the Year 13 step up

Gravitational, electric and magnetic fields, circular motion and oscillations: where top grades are decided.

Practical & data analysis

assessed throughout

Uncertainties, graph work and the required practicals that written papers keep asking about.

Lessons build backwards from mocks (November to January) and the May to June papers, with your board's real past papers and mark schemes from the first session.

Five-lesson promise

The risk is ours, not yours.

Our 5-Lesson Peace of Mind Guarantee

We know how important the right tutor match is. If it doesn't feel right, we'll find your child another tutor and you won't pay for that lesson. If you're not satisfied with their progress after five lessons, we'll refund every cent you paid for them.

Read our full guarantee

The right tutor can make all the difference, not only to your child's results, but also to their confidence, understanding and ability to tackle their schoolwork independently. For you, that means the reassurance of knowing your child is supported, making progress and moving in the right direction. That's the transformation we want your child to experience, and we're prepared to stand behind it.

First, your child's tutor should feel like the right fit. If your child doesn't feel comfortable, understood and excited to continue after their lesson, simply tell us. We'll find them a better-matched tutor, and you won't pay a cent for that lesson.

Once your child has found the right match, give us five lessons to help them make meaningful progress. If, after those five lessons, you're not satisfied with the change you're seeing, let us know and we'll refund every cent you paid for them.

Our 97% customer success rate gives us the confidence to make this promise. But if your child is among the 3% who don't get the results you hoped for, we wouldn't feel right keeping your money.

No awkward conversations. No hoops to jump through. The risk is ours, not yours.

Questions parents and students ask

How much does an A-Level physics tutor cost?

Rates depend on tutor experience and frequency; you see exact prices for matched tutors before committing. No sign-up fees, no long contracts.

Which parts of the course do tutors cover?

All of it: mechanics and materials, electricity, waves, fields, nuclear and the practical skills, weighted to where your marks say the work is.

Which exam boards?

AQA, Edexcel, OCR (and WJEC). The tutor teaches your specification and marks against its mark schemes.

My child's maths is holding their physics back. Can one tutor help with both?

Yes. Strong maths support is built into physics tuition: A-Level physics leans on algebra, trigonometry, graph work and (on some boards) light calculus, and physics tutors teach the maths inside the physics as a matter of course. If your child isn't taking A-Level maths alongside, the tutor fills those gaps deliberately rather than assuming them.

Can tutoring help between a mock and the real exam?

Yes, that's the highest-leverage window: mock papers show exactly which topics and question styles are dropping marks, and lessons target those. The same focused approach works for Year 13 retakes.

My child did well at GCSE. Why are they struggling at A-Level physics?

The step up is sharp: multi-step problems, far fewer scaffolded questions and much heavier maths. It's normal, and it responds quickly to one-to-one attention.
