Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How does National 5 Physics compare to GCSE Physics, and will it be accepted for A-Levels or Highers?

National 5 Physics is a robust qualification and it’s generally considered to be a strong equivalent to a full GCSE in Physics. Our expert National 5 tutors are well-versed in both curricula and can help your child confidently articulate the value and depth of their N5 qualification.

My child struggles with the mathematical side of National 5 Physics. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Physics does involve a lot of maths, and our National 5 tutors are excellent at breaking down formulas and calculations. They'll help your child apply the skills they learn in maths directly to physics problems, making complex topics like force equations or electrical circuits feel much clearer.

How can a national 5 physics tutor help with the practical assignment, especially if studying remotely?

Tutors can help your child understand the best experimental methods, how to collect and analyse data, and how to present their findings effectively. While they can't provide the physical equipment, they can guide your child through simulations, data interpretation, and report writing, to make sure they’re prepared for this key part of the course.

Will a national 5 physics tutor really prepare my child for the jump to A-Level or Higher Physics?

Yes, that’s a key part of the support provided by all of our National 5 tutors, ensuring your child has a deep understanding of core National 5 Physics principles, helping to strengthen any weaker areas, and building the foundational knowledge needed for the next level of study.

How many hours of tutoring does it usually take to see an improvement in National 5 Physics?

Many students see significant improvement quickly. On average, students who work with one of our tutors see a grade improvement with just 8 hours of tutoring.

What if post-16 providers are hesitant to accept National 5 Physics? What are our options?

While National 5 Physics is a recognised and respected qualification, your National 5 Physics tutor can help you gather information and advocate for the robust nature of the National 5 course content and the skills your child has developed.

Can I choose my own National 5 Physics Tutor?

Yes, absolutely! You can browse our wide selection of experienced National 5 Tutors, read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and pick the one that feels like the perfect fit for your child's needs.
