A Level Physics

Physics tuition for Sixth Form

Private tutors for Physics revision.

A Level Physics requires the knowledge of advanced topics and builds on the foundations acquired during the GCSE. For these reasons, students need a qualified and experienced tutor.

We work with tutors who can use their knowledge of Physics and Maths and prepare their tutees for A Level exams for each exam board as required.

A Level Physics Online

In the English Education system, A Level Physics is expected to prepare students for moving to Higher Education degree programmes. The material typically covers in-depth understanding of:

  • Mechanics: kinematics (linear and circular motion, projectile motion), dynamics (Newton’s laws, forces, energy, linear and angular momentum, impulse), harmonic motion, Gravitational field gravitational potential and 2 body problem, rocket motion, conservation laws
  • Electromagnetism: electric and magnetic fields, electric potential, Coulomb force and Lorentz force, charges and currents, Maxwell laws, circuits and electronic elements (capacitors, resistances, inductance)
  • Waves and Optics: wave properties, propagations behaviours, matter interaction, polarization, interference, refraction
  • Quantum Phenomena: quantum mechanics, wave particle duality,
  • Particle Physics: particle decay, radioactive phenomena
  • Thermal Physics: thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, kinetic theory of gases, laws of thermodynamics
  • Nuclear Physics: radioactivity, nuclear fission/fusion, particle accelerators
  • Optional Modules: e.g. Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics.

You can book online A Level Physics lessons with Francesco via the booking form below: 

 

Typical exam duration: 2 hours

Materials needed:

  •  scientific calculator that meets the requirements of the specification
  •  black ink or black ball point pen (pencil for drawings only) 

Typical questions:  

  • multiple choice 
  • argumentative questions (it is very important to show the method, as it is evaluated along with the final result)

Additional Information:

  • show all necessary working; otherwise marks for method may be lost.  
  • cross through any work that you do not want to be marked.
  • the maximum mark for this paper is 100.

General advice:

  • unless otherwise stated, you may quote formulae, without proof form the provided formulae booklet.
