Physics Fundamentals
๐ Get concise physics updates โ new articles, calculators, and tools. Your number stays private. No spam. No group chats. Just worthy content.
Personalised online physics tutoring for students at every level. Whether you are preparing for a GCSE exam next month, working through a university module, or finishing a Masters dissertation โ we work with you on exactly what you need.
Get started today
Fill in the form and we will be in touch within 24 hours to arrange a free 15-minute call. We will ask about your goals, your current level, and where you are finding things difficult โ so that if we do work together, the very first paid session is already focused on the right things.
Whether you're on AQA A-Level, OCR, Edexcel, AP Physics C, IB SL/HL, or midway through a university module, every session is built around what your course actually requires โ not a generic physics curriculum.
Most students lose marks not because they can't do the maths, but because the physical intuition isn't there. We always establish what's happening physically before we touch an equation. The maths becomes almost automatic once the picture is clear.
We work with postgraduate students on literature reviews, methodology, data analysis, and thesis writing as well as the physics content itself. If you're stuck on a derivation at 11pm before a submission, that's exactly when we help.
Book a one-off session before an exam or set up a regular weekly slot โ entirely up to you. Sessions run in the evenings and at weekends to fit around lectures, lab hours, and work commitments.

Who we work with
Physics does not stop being hard once you leave school. The same gaps in understanding that cause students to drop marks at GCSE are often still there at Masters level โ they just manifest in more expensive ways.
This is where most students decide whether they like physics or not โ and that decision is almost always about the quality of explanation they have received, not their ability. We work on the conceptual foundations first: why objects fall, what a field actually is, why electricity behaves the way it does. Once those click, the equations make sense rather than just being things to memorise.
For A-Level students, we also focus heavily on exam technique. Physics papers consistently reward students who can explain their reasoning clearly โ not just arrive at the right number. We work through past papers from your specific exam board (AQA, OCR A/B, Edexcel, WJEC, CIE) and identify the patterns in how marks are actually awarded.
University physics is a significant step up in both mathematical rigour and conceptual abstraction. Students who coasted through A-Level on good memory often hit a wall in their first year when the derivations stop being given and start being expected.
We work with first and second year students on the core modules โ Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Mathematical Methods โ as well as third and fourth year students tackling more specialist topics: Condensed Matter, Particle Physics, General Relativity, Statistical Mechanics, and Fluid Mechanics.
We also help with coursework, lab report write-ups, and interpreting data from experimental work. If a specific module is not listed above, ask โ the list is not exhaustive.
Postgraduate study introduces a different kind of difficulty: the problems are no longer well-defined, the literature is dense and often contradictory, and the expectation is that you work things out independently. That can be genuinely isolating โ especially when your supervisor is stretched across multiple students.
We work with MSc and PhD students on understanding and applying advanced theory, working through derivations, interpreting simulation or experimental results, and structuring arguments in theses and dissertations. We also support students with final year projects (FYPs) and semester projects โ both the technical physics content and the written component.
If you are working in an interdisciplinary area โ computational physics, biophysics, materials science, astrophysics, geophysics โ and need help with the physics side of your work, we can discuss whether your topic is within scope on the intro call.
Topics covered
If it is in your syllabus, on your problem sheet, or in your thesis, we cover it.
The process
A relaxed 15-minute video call. We find out where you are, what you are working towards, and whether we are a good fit. No payment required.
We work through a targeted set of problems together to pinpoint exactly where your understanding has gaps โ rather than guessing and covering material you already know.
Each session builds on the previous one. We keep notes on what has clicked and what needs more work, so no time is wasted repeating ground already covered.
As your deadline approaches, sessions shift to exam technique, past papers, or thesis-specific content depending on what you need.
Projects & dissertations
Final year projects, Masters dissertations, and PhD theses are a different kind of challenge to coursework and exams. The problem is no longer defined for you. You are expected to make original decisions about methodology, spot errors in your own reasoning, and produce written work that demonstrates genuine understanding.
We support students at every stage of the project process. In the early stages, that might mean working through the relevant theory from the literature, understanding what methods are appropriate for your research question, or getting clear on what your supervisor is actually asking for.
In the middle stages, we help with data analysis, interpreting simulation outputs, debugging computational code that is supposed to solve physics problems, and understanding why your experimental results do not match the theory they are supposed to match.
In the final stages, we help with thesis structure, argument clarity, and making sure the physics in your written work is expressed correctly and at the right level for your examiners. We do not write your thesis for you โ but we will work through it with you so that you can write it confidently.
Understanding the foundational papers and textbooks your project builds on. Identifying what the relevant physics actually is before getting into methodology.
Working through mathematical derivations that are needed in your project but were never covered clearly in lectures or textbooks.
Python, MATLAB, or other numerical tools applied to physics problems. Debugging code that should be implementing a physical model but is not giving sensible results.
Making sense of experimental or simulation data. Error analysis, fitting, and understanding what your results actually mean physically.
Structure, clarity, and making sure the physics is communicated correctly. Particularly useful in the final weeks before submission.
Working through questions your examiners are likely to ask. Understanding your own work well enough to defend and discuss it confidently.
FAQs
Standard sessions are 60 minutes. Some students โ particularly those working on projects or dissertations โ prefer 90-minute sessions that allow time to get into more complex material. This can be arranged during the intro call.
All sessions are online via video call (Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams โ whichever you prefer). This means you can work with us regardless of where you are based. Sessions can be recorded if you want to revisit the material afterwards.
We discuss pricing during the free intro call based on your level, the type of support you need, and how frequently you want to meet. The intro call itself is always free with no obligation.
Yes โ and this is a significant part of what we do. Postgraduate support looks different from school tutoring: sessions are less structured and more collaborative, focused on working through your specific research challenges rather than teaching from a syllabus.
Yes. We help with the physics content, methodology, data analysis, and written clarity of final year projects and dissertations at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. We do not write your work for you, but we will help you understand it well enough to write it yourself.

We regularly work with students in the days and weeks before exams, submissions, and vivas. Tell us your deadline in the booking form and we will prioritise getting you started as quickly as possible.
Yes โ small group sessions of 2 to 3 students are available at a reduced rate per student. This works particularly well for students on the same module who want to work through problem sheets together with guidance. Mention this in your enquiry.
The intro call is free, takes 15 minutes, and comes with zero obligation. Fill in the form above and we will be in touch within 24 hours.
