Do you tutor younger students or only GCSE/A-Level physics?

We specialise from Key Stage 3 / Grade 7 upwards through GCSE, A-Level, AP, and IB. For primary learners we usually recommend our general science tutoring, which builds foundations before specialist physics.

Which exam boards do you cover?

AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level, IB Physics, AP Physics 1/2/C, and international programmes. We match a tutor who knows your exact specification.

My child finds physics hard — can you help?

Yes. Physics difficulty often comes from maths gaps or unclear models, not lack of ability. We diagnose the root cause and rebuild confidence with small, structured wins.

Is tutoring 1-on-1 and online?

Every physics lesson is live, private, and online with a shared whiteboard. No group classes — your child has the tutor’s full focus.

How soon will we see progress?

Homework and class-test confidence often improves within a few weeks. Grade jumps depend on start point and time before exams; we set visible short-term targets from lesson one.

How much does it cost? Can we try first?

Fees depend on level and sessions per week — see our pricing page. Start with a free demo class to meet your tutor and get a recommended plan.

Physics Tutoring

From Mechanics to Quantum — Physics Made Clear and Achievable

Physics is challenging — but with the right tutor, it becomes logical and fascinating. Our tutors develop strong problem-solving skills alongside deep conceptual understanding.

Physics is the study of the fundamental laws that govern the universe, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. At TheLearningMaths, we offer in-depth physics tutoring for students from Grade 7 to Grade 12, providing support across all major topics, from mechanics to modern physics.

Physics can be a challenging subject for many students due to its blend of mathematical rigour and conceptual understanding. At TheLearningMaths, our expert tutors break down these complex topics into manageable concepts, helping students grasp both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. Whether your child is preparing for exams or needs help understanding difficult topics, our personalised physics tutoring ensures they gain the confidence and knowledge required to excel.

In a nutshell

Levels we teach

Physics tutoring from Key Stage 3 (around Grade 7) through GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, AP Physics, and IB — we match pace and depth to your child’s year group and upcoming exams.

What we cover

Mechanics, energy, waves, electricity, fields, and modern physics — taught with the maths skills embedded so problems feel logical, not memorised.

How we help

Live 1-on-1 sessions online. We fix misconceptions early, model clear working, and build exam stamina with past papers. Primary science parents: we focus on general science foundations before specialist physics at secondary level.

Mathematical Physics

Foundations: Physics requires a strong grasp of mathematical concepts to solve problems effectively. Our tutors ensure students are confident with the maths required for physics.
Vectors: Vector quantities, addition, and resolving into components
Kinematics Equations: Equations of motion for velocity, acceleration, and displacement
Trigonometry in Physics: Trig for angles, forces, and waves
Calculus in Physics: Differentiation and integration for motion, fields, and rates of change

At TheLearningMaths, we aim to make physics not only understandable but also enjoyable. By relating complex concepts to real-world applications, we help students appreciate the importance of physics in everyday life. Our tutors focus on developing problem-solving skills, ensuring students can tackle exam questions with confidence and accuracy. Whether your child is learning the basics of forces or preparing for advanced physics exams, we provide the guidance they need to excel.

Common struggles we fix

“They understand in class but cannot do exam calculations.”

We teach a standard approach: diagram, list knowns, choose equation, check units, sanity-check the answer. Repeated practice under gentle timing builds fluency.

“The maths in physics is the blocker.”

Tutors reinforce vectors, rearranging formulae, and trigonometry in context — so physics becomes an application of maths they already know.

“Waves and fields feel abstract.”

We use animations, sketches, and everyday examples (sound, light, magnets) before formal definitions, then link back to mark-scheme language.

“They lose marks on working and units.”

Every lesson includes mark-scheme discipline: labelled diagrams, unit conversion, and structured written responses for practical-style questions.
