A big player in the market … yet one that has a personal touch.
Our Physics Tutors are all fully-qualified and experienced Physics Teachers; subject-specialists, professional, energetic and up-to-date with the current demands of a changing curriculum and the various Examination Boards. Lessons are taught at your home and are scheduled at your convenience; whether weekdays, evenings or weekends.
"Teachers To Your Home" is the disclosed agent of over 18,000 qualified and experienced teachers across the UK, who also choose to offer their professional skills as high quality home tutors.
Physics helps you to understand how the world around you works, from can openers, light bulbs and mobile phones to muscles, lungs and brains; from paints, piccolos and pirouettes to cameras, cars and cathedrals; from earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes to quarks, DNA and black holes. From the prosaic ... to the profound ... to the poetic, we can provide a Physics Teacher who can help you.
Our teachers can support Physics, at all levels, and can provide high quality tuition for Primary and Junior levels, as well as prepare children towards 11+, 13+, Common Entrance or for GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A level Examinations, across all the major Examination Boards including OCR, AQA, Edexcel, CIE, Eduqas and WJEC.

Physics is the study of the world around us. In simple terms Physics explains how things happen. Why do things fall, speed up, slow down? Why do bulbs or LEDs light up? How do speakers make sounds? How does lightning happen? How does ultrasound see inside us? How does a mobile phone work? How do lenses help us see better? How do signals travel to us from space? How do the planets orbit the sun? How are stars formed? How do Nuclear Power Stations work? How do huge ships stay afloat? These and many other questions are answered by learning about the main branches of Physics including force and energy, materials and particles, radiation, electricity, magnetism and electromagnetism, waves, thermal physics, space physics. Physics, like all the sciences, has a large amount of practical work and much of the learning is through doing rather than just sitting and listening. This will develop observation, measurement and recording skills and encourage the student to come to their own conclusions and evaluations, based on what they have seen and done for themselves.
At GCSE level, Physics is either studied as separate subject or makes up a third of Combined Science. As a separate subject, Physics can be studied as Single Science and receive a full GCSE grade. In Combined Science, the extension topics in Physics, Chemistry and Biology are not taken and the exams in all three subjects lead to two GCSE grades, so it is sometimes referred to as Dual Award Science. If a student intends to study Physics at A level then it is best, though not essential, that they take Physics as a Single Science. The main awarding bodies are AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC, Eduqas (part of WJEC) CCEA in Northern Ireland and SQA in Scotland. Assessment is through written exam papers, typically 2 x two hour papers or 3 x 90 minute papers. There is no separate practical assessment or coursework, but questions will be set based on the core practical activities the students will have carried out for themselves.
For entry into A Level many schools would want to see a grade 7 or higher at GCSE, otherwise a student may struggle to do well at A Level. At A level the concepts and ideas studied for GCSE are built upon and taken further, along with some applications of Physics which may include Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics and Electronics. A level Physics also involves a large amount of practical work. Assessment is typically three written papers, each around two hours long. A level Physics can give access to a wide range of university courses and consequently related careers, such as Physics, Engineering, Astrophysics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Sports Science and Pharmacy amongst others.
