How we help

One tutor, matched to your current grade and school, covering every paper and the Internal Assessment against the same criteria examiners use. Tap any item for more detail.

Paper 1 combines multiple-choice questions with data-based questions drawn from the core syllabus — there are no options topics under the current Group 4 syllabus. We drill the command terms and problem-solving technique examiners are actually marking, not just formula recall.

No options topics

Paper 2 tests the same content in more depth, building from short-answer questions into longer extended-response questions — often multi-step problems combining several formulas. We work on structuring a full-mark response and showing the working examiners can actually award marks for.

Physics exams lean heavily on interpreting graphs, uncertainty, and experimental data, not just applying formulas. We practise reading unfamiliar data sets and writing the kind of analysis and evaluation examiners reward.

SL and HL both submit an individual scientific investigation, assessed against five criteria: Personal Engagement, Exploration, Analysis, Evaluation, and Communication. We help students choose a question they can actually collect meaningful data for, then refine the write-up against those criteria.

Common questions

Before you book

Sessions run one-on-one over video, built around your child's actual school assessments rather than a generic syllabus.

We match on subject mastery and teaching style, informed by the free 15-minute call, not just who happens to be free.

Simply reach out to our admin team, and we'll work with you to arrange a replacement tutor better suited to your needs.

We recommend starting a few weeks before the beginning of term to allow adequate time for preparation, though starting earlier is always beneficial.

There is no minimum session requirement. We do, however, offer package options for families who prefer to commit in advance.

Yes. Paper 1, Paper 2, and the Internal Assessment are covered at both levels, with HL going into the same core syllabus in greater depth, all timed to your school's assessment calendar.

Yes — physics problems often combine several formulas and topics in one question. We work through the underlying method until multi-step problems stop being the bottleneck, then focus on the physical concept behind them.

Yes. We help students choose a topic with enough scope for a genuine investigation, then refine the write-up against the same five criteria examiners use — Personal Engagement, Exploration, Analysis, Evaluation, and Communication.
