Our A Level Physics Tutors
A Level Physics is rigorous and demanding. Building on what students have learnt at GCSE, it covers topics ranging from electrons to thermodynamics. Teenagers need a confident grasp of Maths, as well as strong theoretical grounding, to perform well. Our A Level Physics tutors offer bespoke private tuition proven to help students excel. Whether your child feels like they are struggling or dreams of becoming a particle physicist, our tutors are here to support them.
All of our A Level Physics tutors are subject specialists, with outstanding science degrees. Many are qualified teachers with years of experience. Others are first class Oxbridge graduates who are keen to see others succeed. At Hampstead and Frognal Tutors, a strong academic record is not enough. Our tutors combine intelligence with sensitivity and enthusiasm. They offer a highly personalised service, crafted to suit the needs, ambitions and learning styles of their individual pupils.
Hiring a tutor is an important investment in your child’s education. As well as checking all of our tutors’ qualifications and experience, therefore, we also interview them personally, ask to see two references, and require them to own an up-to-date DBS certificate. The regular training and development opportunities we offer our team mean that our standards never slip. We pride ourselves on the quality of our teaching, and know that when we recommend a tutor they won’t let you down.
How our Tutors Teach Physics
A Level Physics is designed to challenge students. Teenagers need to be good at problem-solving and abstract thinking, as well as being able to perform difficult calculations. Our A Level Physics tutors promote core skills and deep understanding in their pupils. Working outwards from fundamental concepts, they ensure students grasp the building blocks of the science course. They then hone in on problem areas, swiftly identifying their pupils’ academic strengths and weaknesses. In this way, teenagers enter exam halls filled with knowledge and self-belief, confident that they will perform well.
Our private tutors know the A Level exam boards inside out. If your child needs help with exam technique, struggles with time management or finds a particular type of question difficult, we can help. Our tutors have equipped hundreds of students with effective exam and revision strategies, maximising their overall scores. This sounds rather dry. In reality, however, our tuition sessions are always dynamic and engaging. Our tutors quickly build rapport with their students, and endeavour to enthuse them with a love of their subject. Sixth Form is a time for teenagers to develop new passions and explore new intellectual avenues, and our tutors are here to guide them.
If you do not live in London but want to access our world-class tuition, don’t panic. Our A Level tutors teach both in person and via Skype. We currently have hundreds of students across the globe, all of whom find online tuition a convenient alternative to face-to-face tutoring.
