Online A-Level Physics Tutor
Online A-Level Physics tuition for AQA, Edexcel and OCR students, combining physical understanding with the mathematical problem-solving and exam technique the course demands.
I support students who need to consolidate the course, improve calculations and written explanations, or prepare for physics, engineering and related degrees. Lessons can target a difficult unit or provide structured preparation across the specification.
Turn physical situations into diagrams and mathematical models
Understand assumptions instead of memorising equations in isolation
Handle unfamiliar exam questions methodically
Use units, data, significant figures and practical evidence precisely
We move from the physical situation to a diagram, then to the relevant principles and equations. I provide guided structure at first, but students also explain choices and complete problems independently. This develops the judgement needed when an exam question presents familiar physics in an unfamiliar form.
Lessons are taught live online using a graphical tablet. The written working is shared as a PDF afterwards, giving the student a clear record to revisit.
Mathematical problem-solving is integrated throughout A-Level Physics. Rearranging equations is only the beginning; students also need to interpret graphs, choose models, track units and decide whether an answer is physically plausible.
For ambitious students, I can provide a broader view of why models work and where the ideas lead. That deeper perspective supports the syllabus without replacing focused exam preparation or independent practice.

Practical skills and data analysis
I hold a PhD in theoretical physics and have more than ten years’ experience tutoring mathematics and physics from school through university level.
Students work directly with me in every lesson. My focus is on understanding, careful reasoning and the confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems independently.
I am keen for him to work with you as I can see you are brilliant at what you do.Parent of a student
Frequently asked questions
Questions about a-level physics tuition.
Which A-Level Physics exam boards do you cover?+
I teach AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge courses, adapting examples and practical or exam work to the specification.
Can you help with mathematical problem-solving in physics?+
Yes. Lessons explicitly cover modelling, algebra, graphs, proportional reasoning, units and multi-step calculations in physical contexts.
Do you work with students with dyslexia or dyscalculia?+
Yes. I have experience tutoring students with dyslexia and dyscalculia, although I do not hold a specialist qualification in learning difficulties. Lessons can use clearer visual structure, slower sequencing, repeated reinforcement and alternative explanations. Where appropriate, tutoring may be complemented by a formal assessment from a qualified professional. Tutoring itself is not a diagnostic service.
Can you guarantee a top grade?+
No tutor can responsibly guarantee a particular grade. My role is to help students perform as close to their potential as possible by improving understanding, problem-solving, exam technique and confidence. That also requires active effort from the student; attending lessons alone is not enough.
Do tutoring sessions replace independent study?+
No. Tutoring works best alongside independent practice. As a rough guideline, one hour of tutoring should usually be accompanied by around one hour of independent work, although this varies by student and stage of preparation. Understanding an explanation is only the first step; fluency develops by solving problems independently.
If I still need to study independently, what is the purpose of tutoring?+
Tutoring makes independent learning more effective. It provides structure and scaffolding, identifies gaps, connects new ideas to existing knowledge and shows which principles matter most. Lessons also develop problem-solving habits, help students recognise what questions are asking and avoid common dead ends. Independent work then turns that understanding into fluency.
Can tuition help with university preparation?+
Yes. We can strengthen the mathematical and conceptual foundations useful for physics, engineering and related undergraduate courses.
