Why Physics is Key for Your Child's Future A-Levels and University Goals

A strong grasp of Physics at GCSE is more than just a grade; it’s the foundation for future success. It unlocks the door to sought-after A-Levels in science and maths, and is essential for competitive STEM degrees at universities, including the University of Plymouth. The problem-solving and analytical skills your child develops while mastering concepts like mechanics or thermodynamics are valuable assets for any career they choose to pursue.

Physics Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study. These...

Patient and flexible Physics tutor
After an engineering career in Electronics and Computing,I became a teacher first of all in 2007.I worked in Further and Higher Education at my local College. I taught Electronics, Maths and other Engineering course modules at Level 3 (BTEC/A Level) and Level 4 (Foundation degree).I left the College in 2012 and went back into the real world of industry until recently.Although I had come to it quite late, I realised that teaching was the best job I had ever had.But now rather than put myself at the mercy of the government and the education system, I decided to try this avenue for getting my teaching...

Michael R
Experienced and effective Physics Tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

Engaging Physics tutor
Hi, I’m Stephen! Having achieved all A’s at GCSE, and A*AA at A-Level, I became the first in my family to attend university. The exam process can be overwhelming and it is my role as a tutor to guide them through the learning process, taking a personalised approach to provide the student with visual revision resources and developing a sense of enjoyment for the subject with them.Having privately tutored students for over two years I started my tutoring journey by teaching friends and family before joining MyTutor in early 2022 where I worked for their ‘Schools Programme’. Here I supported teacher...

Richard H
My son was struggling with his first year physics A level and becoming really frustrated. We wanted someone with experience to help him so that he can achieve a high grade for University entrance.Rich answered our enquiry very quickly and a lesson was arranged . We haven't looked back since that first lesson .Rich has been brilliant. He is an excellent tutor and has identified gaps in my son's knowledge that would prevent him from fully understanding topics .One of my initial concerns was if he had experience with OCR as it wasn't on his profile ....but the first question he asked me was which exam board was he studying.He has lots of experience. As a parent I'm delighted because my son is so happy! His confidence is growing , the stress diminishing and he's starting to enjoy the subject!!Thank you Richard. Highly recommend.

My Year 10 daughter has recently started with Amira. The lessons are clearly structured, the dialogue between the two of them is excellent and there is follow up from Amira with my daughter. Best of all, my daughter is happy to be tutored with Amira. I would absolutely recommend Amira.

Sarah H
My son has had a couple of lessons with Sarah and so far we have found her lessons very beneficial. Her knowledge base is strong and she is able to pace the lesson depending upon the knowledge of the pupil in the subject/topic. She seems well-versed in preparation for GCSE subjects. My son is doing physics and chemistry with her. We have got a number of other sessions planned with her and I will share further review after them.

Conor D
Connor has been working with my son for a month now on GCSE Physics prep, and the impact has been fantastic. My son is aiming to move from a Grade 7 to an 8 or 9 in preparation for A-Level, and Connor’s deep subject knowledge is making that goal feel very achievable. He is incredibly friendly and supportive, and my son genuinely enjoys his weekly sessions. He feels he is effectively closing his knowledge gaps and gaining a lot of confidence. Highly recommended!
