Overview:
Demystify forces, electricity and energy with targeted online GCSE Physics tuition. Philip breaks down challenging physical problems and their associated mathematical formulas into clear, understandable steps. Philip’s tailored approach helps students fully grasp the GCSE Physics curriculum and helps them to excel in their final exams.
Philip provides personal tuition for students who are studying physics at GCSE.
How Tuition Helps:
Personal GCSE Physics tuition can help a student in several ways. Personal tuition can build confidence and boost skills for the budding science student. It can inspire a student to see physics working in the natural world around them. It can awaken a lifelong respect and appreciation of the wonder and majesty of the physical world . Personal tuition can mean the difference between achieving a grade 6 and a grade 7. Focused help and coaching from a personal tutor can be the gateway to a student achieving a grade 8 or 9. Early engagement with a personal tutor at the start of a GCSE physics course can give a student a significant advantage.

Common Questions:
Do you cover both Higher and Foundation Tiers? – Yes, I cover both tiers for GCSE physics.
What examination boards do you cover? – All examination boards are covered, including: AQA, OCR and Edexcel.
For the Higher Tier, do you cover grades 7 to 9 topics and questions? – Yes, all higher grade topics would be covered and students are gradually introduced to the more challenging questions associated with achieving the higher grades.
Do you provide example questions and solutions? – Yes, I would provide a variety of example physics questions together with their full solutions. Additionally, past exam questions would be explored together with some questions that I have developed myself.
What should students bring to a tuition? – Students should have available: some paper or a notebook, a pen, a pencil and a calculator.
Do you encourage students to ask questions? – Yes, students are very much encouraged to ask questions and to check their understanding through discussion whilst keeping focused and maintaining relevance to the topic in hand.
Do you offer help with the transition from GCSE to A Level physics? – Yes, students who wish to study physics at A Level frequently require support to make the jump from GCSE to A Level. Students may start to struggle when coming across new topics such as nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics, accordingly help to ease the transition can be provided on request.
