Physics Tutoring In Surrey
Physics being one of the three core sciences taught in schools is commonly taken at GCSE or A level. Physics, the study of matter, energy and their interactions has an important role in the future progress of mankind. With this knowledge, technological advances are made possible which drive the economic engines of the world. This important science is a key science required for many areas of further study, including engineering, pharmacology and computer science.
At Academic Tutors Surrey we can provide Physics tuition for all ages from key stage 3 upwards. We can also provide tutors for Triple Science GCSE for those studying Physics, Biology and Chemistry or for those students studying Physics alone to GCSE or A level.
Physics tutoring in Surrey is available online. Our tutors offer remote, interactive learning via a range of dedicated and industry standard applications utilising video call, online whiteboards and shared resources.

How Our Process Works
Choosing the right physics tutor is simple. We take time to understand your needs, carefully match you with the right tutor, and arrange lessons that fit your schedule. From the first conversation to the first lesson, we keep the process clear, personal and flexible.
1. Contact
Get in touch to discuss your requirements or arrange a free consultation. Our education consultant will speak with you to understand the student’s needs, strengths and learning goals.
2. Match
Once we understand your requirements, we will match pupils with the right tutor for your needs. All tutors are personally interviewed, experienced, fully referenced and DBS checked
3. Start
Your tutor will contact you to arrange the first lesson and agree on a schedule that suits you. Lessons remain flexible and can be adjusted as your needs change. Add an additional tutor if required.
We were very pleased with both the service and the tutors provided by Academic Tutors Surrey. Having the flexibility to request additional subject tutors when needed, during Jack’s final GCSE year gave him the confidence to tackle any subject he was struggling with.

A level Physics FAQs
A level Physics is far more mathematical and analytical than GCSE Physics. While GCSE introduces the main principles of forces, energy, electricity, and waves, A level expects students to apply these ideas in much greater depth and across more complex problems. Topics such as mechanics, electricity, fields, nuclear physics, and particle physics require stronger algebra skills and a much deeper understanding of how physical systems work.
In addition, students must explain their reasoning clearly and apply knowledge to unfamiliar situations. For example, they may need to solve multi-step mechanics questions or analyse practical data using graphs and uncertainty calculations. Because of this, many students find the jump from GCSE to A-level challenging, especially in Year 12 when the pace increases quickly. Strong tutoring helps students build confidence early and avoid falling behind.
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons students seek A level Physics tutoring. Many students understand the physical concepts but lose marks because they struggle with the mathematical side of the subject. Physics requires confidence with algebra, rearranging equations, graphs, trigonometry, and interpreting data under exam pressure.
For example, students may understand motion and forces but find mechanics questions difficult because they are unsure how to apply equations correctly. In addition, topics such as electricity and gravitational fields often require multi-step calculations where small mistakes can lead to lost marks. A tutor helps by breaking these problems into clear stages and showing students how to approach them logically. As a result, students improve both accuracy and confidence, which often leads to stronger overall exam performance.

Strong subject knowledge is important, but exam technique often makes the difference between a B and an A grade. Many students lose marks because they rush calculations, misread command words, or fail to explain scientific reasoning clearly enough. In A level Physics, method marks and precise explanations are often just as important as the final answer.
We use past papers, examiner reports, and mark schemes to show students exactly how marks are awarded. For example, we focus on structuring six-mark explanations, checking calculations carefully, and using correct scientific terminology in written answers. In addition, we help students improve timing so they can stay calm during longer papers. This targeted approach helps students turn strong understanding into stronger results.
Yes, we always tailor tutoring to the student’s specific exam board, whether that is AQA, OCR, Edexcel, or another specification. Although the core physics principles are the same, each board presents questions differently and places emphasis on different practical skills and styles of written response. For example, one board may focus more heavily on data analysis, while another may place greater emphasis on longer applied problem-solving questions.
Our A level Physics tutors begin by identifying the syllabus, current school progress, and the student’s weaker areas. From there, we use the correct specification, topic lists, past papers, and mark schemes to guide every lesson. In addition, we help students understand how examiners reward structured explanations and clear working. As a result, tutoring becomes more focused, more efficient, and far more effective in preparing students for A level Physics exams.

GCSE Physics FAQs
GCSE Physics usually includes two written exam papers, although the structure can vary slightly depending on the exam board, such as AQA, Edexcel, or OCR. Students study key topics including energy, electricity, particle models, atomic structure, forces, waves, magnetism, and space physics. In addition, students must understand required practicals and how to answer questions based on experiments, graphs, and data analysis.
Physics can feel challenging because students need both strong scientific understanding and confidence with calculations. For example, they may need to rearrange equations, calculate speed, or explain how electrical circuits work using precise terminology. As a result, success depends on both knowledge and exam technique. Many students lose marks because they understand the topic but struggle to apply that knowledge clearly under exam conditions.
Physics tutoring helps students strengthen understanding, improve problem-solving skills, and develop better exam technique. Many students find Physics difficult because topics often combine maths with scientific reasoning. If a student struggles with forces or electricity early on, later topics such as momentum or energy transfer can become much harder. As a result, confidence can drop quickly.
A tutor helps by identifying weaker areas and creating a clear plan for improvement. For example, a student may understand practical experiments but struggle with calculations involving formulas, graphs, or multi-step reasoning questions. In addition, we teach students how to interpret command words, structure longer answers, and show clear working for calculation questions. We also use past papers and mark schemes so students understand how marks are awarded and how to avoid common mistakes.

We begin by identifying the student’s exam board, usually AQA, Edexcel, or OCR, and reviewing the exact specification followed by their school. Although the main physics principles remain the same, each exam board presents questions differently and may place more emphasis on certain practicals or styles of written response. For example, one board may focus more heavily on calculations and equations, while another may include more applied problem-solving and data interpretation.
Once we know the syllabus, we tailor each lesson using the correct topic lists, practical content, and past papers. In addition, we focus on the language students need to use because Physics mark schemes often reward precise explanations and clear step-by-step working. This helps students avoid losing marks unnecessarily. As a result, tutoring becomes more focused, more efficient, and far more effective when preparing for GCSE Physics exams.
