Start with your Physics course and goal

Tell the tutor your course title, exam board and exam year, plus your tier or route where relevant. If you are learning for interest or returning after a break, describe what you want to understand and the maths you feel comfortable using.

The examples below show why the course matters. For Wales, Northern Ireland or another qualification, use your own specification rather than an AQA topic list.

KS3 science in England: Start with explanations and diagrams: which forces act on a moving object, how to calculate speed, or what happens in a simple circuit? England’s KS3 programme includes these ideas alongside waves and scientific investigation. Look for teaching that connects the diagram to the explanation before adding calculations.
GCSE: separate Physics or Combined Science: Confirm which science course you take before selecting revision topics. For example, AQA separate Physics 8463 includes space physics; the Physics topic list in AQA Combined Science: Trilogy 8464 does not. A Combined Science learner may need focused Physics support without needing tuition in all three sciences.
Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625: For the 2026–2028 syllabus, identify Core or Extended. Extended includes Core plus Supplement: calculating with F = ma is in the Supplement, while Core covers resultant forces and qualitative changes in motion. Match the depth of practice to the learner’s route.
AS and A-level Physics: Expect greater mathematical depth. AQA post-16 mechanics includes resolving forces into perpendicular components and interpreting non-uniform acceleration; its A-level maths requirements also include uncertainty and logarithmic plots. A useful tutor should connect the mathematics to what the physical model means.
National 5 or Higher in Scotland: Use the Scottish course specification. National 5 includes dynamics, electricity, waves and radiation; Higher adds depth through topics such as momentum, impulse and special relativity. Name the course and a difficult task when enquiring, rather than assuming a GCSE or A-level plan will fit.

Next step

Worked example: find the resultant force first

Here is an illustrative GCSE-style problem. A 2 kg trolley has a horizontal force of 6 N forwards and 2 N backwards. Its vertical forces balance. What is its acceleration?

Dividing 6 by 2 gives 3 m/s², but misses the opposing force. First find the resultant force: the overall force after accounting for both directions. It is 6 − 2 = 4 N forwards. Then acceleration = resultant force ÷ mass = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 m/s² forwards.

The explanation matters as much as the number. If the horizontal forces became equal, acceleration would be zero. A moving trolley would continue at constant velocity; balanced forces do not by themselves make it stop. This is the distinction between an object’s motion and a change in its motion.

Connect it to a graph. Suppose the trolley starts at 4 m/s forwards and keeps accelerating at 2 m/s² for 3 seconds. It reaches 10 m/s. Its velocity–time graph is a straight line from (0 s, 4 m/s) to (3 s, 10 m/s). The gradient is (10 − 4) ÷ 3 = 2 m/s². The area is a 12 m rectangle plus a 9 m triangle: 21 m displacement forwards. Reading the graph’s height gives velocity, not acceleration.

AQA GCSE already includes graph gradients, with graph-area calculations at Higher tier. Post-16 study develops this reasoning further, including curves representing non-uniform acceleration.

Next step

Two different reasons a circuit answer can go wrong

An incorrect answer may come from the physical idea, the mathematics or the units. These constructed examples separate the difficulty so the next practice task can address it.

Does a lamp use up current?
Picture a battery and two lamps connected in one closed series loop. If the steady current before the first lamp is 0.30 A, it is also 0.30 A between the lamps and after the second lamp. Charge is not consumed in a lamp; the circuit transfers energy. This same-current rule describes positions in that series loop, not separate parallel branches.
Why is the resistance answer too small?
A component has 6 V across it and a current of 250 mA through it. Convert first: 250 mA = 0.250 A. Resistance = voltage ÷ current = 6 ÷ 0.250 = 24 Ω. Using 250 without converting gives 0.024 Ω. Writing the conversion as a separate line makes the source of the error clear.
What can one reading establish?
That result gives the component’s resistance at one operating point. To investigate whether current is proportional to voltage, compare several readings while keeping temperature constant. A filament lamp heats up and its resistance rises, so do not assume every component has a constant resistance. Explain what the data support before drawing a conclusion.

AQA GCSE electricity and practical skills

Practical understanding and assessed practical work

Use tuition to discuss why a variable is controlled, how readings should be plotted or whether a conclusion follows from the data. For the circuit example above, a useful explanation is: “Temperature must be controlled because a change in temperature can change resistance.” That is more informative than simply naming “temperature” on a list.

Your assessment route still matters. In Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 for 2026–2028, the Practical Test and Alternative to Practical require the same experimental skills and understanding of experimental contexts. Alternative to Practical does not remove the need for practical experience.

For AQA A-level Physics 7408, the separate practical endorsement involves teachers directly observing experimental competence. Online discussion cannot replace that assessment. If you study independently or are arranging a resit, confirm the practical arrangements with your school or exam centre before planning tuition around them.

Turn one difficult question into a learning plan

Bring a recent attempt, including crossed-out working, rather than only the final mark. The sequence below is a starting plan to discuss with the tutor. It gives you something specific to review after lessons.

Identify the missing step
Ask the learner to explain why they chose an equation or drew a force arrow in that direction. Separate a misunderstanding of the Physics from an algebra error, a unit conversion or a misread question. Choose the next lesson priority from that evidence.
Model, then remove the prompt
Work through the difficult step together, then try changed numbers or a changed situation. After the trolley example, try a 3 kg trolley with 9 N forwards and 3 N backwards. The acceleration is (9 − 3) ÷ 3 = 2 m/s² forwards. Can the learner reach and explain that answer without copying the earlier working?
Revisit after a gap
Agree a short independent task between lessons, then return to the idea later. Keep an error log with the reason for the mistake and a retry question. Improvement means choosing the right relationship and explaining an unfamiliar problem with fewer prompts, as well as checking the numerical answer.

Build a useful revision error log

Use the introduction to check teaching fit

Read the tutor’s stated subjects, levels and relevant teaching experience. For school science, discuss how they explain unfamiliar ideas; for a more advanced course, name the topic that needs depth, such as vector components or uncertainty calculations. Ask how they would tell whether the learner understands the reasoning independently.

Latimer tutors offer a free introductory meeting to discuss goals, teaching approach and arrangements. It is an introductory conversation, rather than a full free teaching lesson. Bring one recent question and explain what happened: “I know the formula, but I cannot tell which force to use” gives the tutor more to work with than “I am bad at Physics.”

If calculations feel overwhelming, discuss separating the work into a diagram, known quantities, an equation and a unit check. A partly completed example can make the first attempt manageable; the prompts can then be reduced. Tell the tutor what has helped at school, including any agreed adjustments, and ask how they would adapt lessons to this learner.

Prepare for an online Physics lesson

Latimer’s tuition is online-first and one-to-one. Microsoft Teams is the default meeting platform, although you and the tutor can agree another. Before the first paid lesson, check how you will share written working: a clear photo of a force diagram or a page of calculations may be easier to discuss than trying to describe it aloud. Have your course materials, paper and calculator ready.

Agree the first priorities, lesson length, schedule and any practice between sessions. Choose a frequency that leaves time to attempt the work alongside school or college commitments, and set a point to review the plan. The learner’s starting work, deadline and budget should guide this decision.

If you need a Physics tutor near you for in-person lessons, discuss the location and travel arrangements individually. In-person tuition needs a separate agreement.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask most often.

How much does Physics tuition cost?

Each tutor sets the hourly rate shown on their profile. Latimer invoices for lessons on a pay-as-you-go basis after they have taken place. Check the rate alongside the agreed lesson length and frequency to work out the cost of your proposed plan. Discuss any expectations for preparation, practice and feedback before booking.

Do I need a Maths tutor as well as a Physics tutor?

Start by identifying where the calculation breaks down. If you can rearrange an equation but cannot choose the physical relationship, focus on the Physics. If the algebra or unit conversion is the obstacle, ask whether the Physics tutor can cover that step within lessons. For separate Maths coursework or exams, discuss that additional subject requirement explicitly.

Can Combined Science lead to A-level Physics?

Yes. AQA Combined Science: Trilogy is designed to allow progression to science A-levels. Your intended sixth form sets its own entry requirements, so check those directly. For preparation, show the tutor your actual GCSE coverage and identify the maths and Physics that need strengthening before the next course.

What if a mock or exam is close?

Send the date, course details and a recent marked paper. Identify whether lost marks came from missing knowledge, calculations or explanations, then agree which gaps to tackle first in the time available. A focused topic review may be a sensible starting point; the timetable should leave room to attempt fresh questions independently.

Can I ask about university Physics or learning as an adult?

Yes. Describe the module or personal goal, the topics involved and the mathematics you already use. For university work, include a module outline and an example of the required level. Check the individual tutor’s relevant experience and topic coverage before agreeing lessons; a school exam background alone may not meet a specialised requirement.

How is AQA AS practical assessment different from A-level?

For AQA Physics 7407/7408, AS has no separate practical endorsement, although written papers assess practical skills. A-level has the separate endorsement described above. Tell the tutor whether you are taking AS or the full A-level so preparation follows the correct assessment route.
