THE REAL CHALLENGE
Physics is the IGCSE
most students fear.
The concepts are abstract, the equations are unforgiving, and Paper 6 punishes students who haven't practised lab questions in the exact format examiners reward. Most lose marks on phrasing, not physics.
"
Students don't fail Physics because they can't do Physics — they fail because they can't write Physics the way examiners read it.
— What every IGCSE Physics specialist on our roster will tell you
WHY EDUCIFLY
Four reasons families
switch to Educifly.
Specialist tutors. Board-specific lessons. Mark-scheme drills. Sessions in your time zone — that's where a measurable difference comes from.
01
Specialists, not generalists
Every tutor holds a degree in Physics, Engineering or a related science, with 5+ years teaching IGCSE, GCSE and A-Level Physics. They know the difference between a CAIE structured response and an Edexcel multi-mark question — and how to write for each.
02
Built for your board, your level
No generic lesson plans. Every session targets your specific syllabus (Core or Extended), your weak topics, and your target grade. We don't waste lessons on things you've already mastered.
03
Past papers, the way examiners read them
Most students lose marks on phrasing, not physics. We coach you to write answers that score — using the exact command words, units, and significant figures examiners look for.
04
Sessions in your local evening
Whether you're at Sevenoaks in the UK, Zurich International School, GEMS Wellington in Dubai, Oberoi International in Mumbai, UWCSEA in Singapore, or a US international school — we book in your time zone, not ours.

SYLLABUS COVERAGE
Every IGCSE Physics topic,
both Core and Extended.
Full syllabus coverage across CAIE, Edexcel, AQA and OCR. Paper 6 (ATP) gets its own dedicated coaching — most generic tutors skip it. We coach IGCSE Physics as a standalone subject and as part of Combined / Coordinated Science — and if you need the other sciences too, our IGCSE Chemistry and IGCSE Biology tutors cover the same boards.
TOPIC 1
Forces & Motion
Speed, velocity, acceleration, Newton's laws, momentum, turning effects, equilibrium.
TOPIC 2
Energy, Work & Power
Energy stores and transfers, efficiency, work done, power, conservation principles.
TOPIC 3
Thermal Physics
Particle behaviour, specific heat capacity, latent heat, conduction, convection, radiation, gas laws.
TOPIC 4
Waves, Light & Sound
Transverse and longitudinal waves, reflection, refraction, total internal reflection, lenses, EM spectrum, sound.
TOPIC 5
Electricity & Circuits
Current, voltage, resistance, Ohm's law, series and parallel circuits, electrical safety, power calculations.
TOPIC 6
Magnetism & Electromagnetism
Magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, motors, generators, transformers.
TOPIC 7
Nuclear Physics
Atomic structure, isotopes, radioactivity, half-life, fission and fusion, safety and applications.
TOPIC 8
Space Physics
Solar system, stars and galaxies, life cycle of stars, red shift and the expanding universe.
PAPER 6
FEATURED
Alternative to Practical (ATP)
Apparatus identification, drawing and reading graphs, calculating from results, identifying sources of error, suggesting improvements — in the exact language examiners reward.
SINGLE vs COMBINED SCIENCE
Single Science vs Combined Science —
we cover both.
Some students sit IGCSE Physics as a single, standalone subject; others take it inside Combined or Coordinated Science alongside Chemistry and Biology. The content overlaps but the depth and paper structure differ. Your tutor first confirms exactly which route your school follows, then builds every session around that specification — so you never over-study topics you won't be examined on, or miss ones you will.
WHEN TO START
Whenever you start,
we have a plan for it.
The honest answer: the earlier the better — but it is never too late. Three approaches, one for each stage.
YEAR 9–10
Build the foundation
Lock in the core concepts before exam pressure arrives. Students who start here typically enter Year 11 already on track for a grade 7+.
YEAR 11
Focused exam preparation
Targeted work on your weakest units, past papers under timed conditions, formula application, and mark-scheme technique.
EXAM SEASON
Intensive revision
Crash-course mode. High-priority topics, condensed Paper 6 prep, and exam-strategy coaching to maximise marks in the time you have.

FAQ
Common questions,
answered clearly.
Everything parents and students ask before booking a trial. Each answer is self-contained for AI search.
Which exam boards do you cover?
Cambridge (CAIE) 0625 Core and Extended, Edexcel International (4PH1) and UK, AQA, and OCR — including students taking Physics within Combined Science. Every lesson is tailored to your board's structure, command words and mark-scheme conventions.
What qualifications do your IGCSE Physics tutors hold?
Every tutor holds a degree in Physics, Engineering or a related science. Many have additional teaching qualifications (such as a PGCE) and 5+ years of IGCSE, GCSE or A-Level teaching experience.
Do you cover Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical)?
Yes — in depth. We coach apparatus identification, results tables, graph plotting, calculations from data, identifying sources of error, and the exact phrasing examiners reward in "suggest one improvement" questions.
What if I don't click with my tutor?
Tell us within the first two sessions and we'll switch you — no fee, no awkward conversation. Most students stay with their first match, but the option is always there.
Can you help with the Physics-Maths overlap?
Yes. A large share of IGCSE Physics marks are mathematical — rearranging equations, significant figures, units, graph work. Many Physics tutors also tutor IGCSE Maths, so support can be combined.
Do you offer crash courses before exams?
Yes. For students 4–12 weeks out from finals, we run intensive prep covering high-priority topics, Paper 6 technique and full-paper mocks under timed conditions.
How long are sessions, and how often should I book?
Sessions are typically 60 or 90 minutes. Most students book one to two sessions per week during term, increasing to three or four per week before mocks and finals. We adjust the cadence as you progress.
How much does IGCSE Physics tutoring cost?
Pricing depends on tutor seniority, session length and frequency. We share a transparent quote after the free trial lesson. No contracts. No minimum commitment.
What's your refund and cancellation policy?
You only ever pay for sessions you book. Cancel future sessions at any time. Pre-paid sessions can be paused or refunded on request.
How do you track and report progress?
After every session, parents receive notes covering topics taught, questions attempted, where the student is improving and what to focus on next. Monthly mock assessments give a formal grade snapshot.
Which time zones do you support?
All major time zones. Our tutors are based across the UK, Europe, UAE, India, Singapore and the US, so we book in your local evening or weekend, wherever you live.
Is the free trial really free?
Yes. The trial is a complete 1-on-1 lesson with no payment details collected up-front. You only pay if you decide to continue.
Is online IGCSE Physics tuition as good as in person?
For most students it's better. Online IGCSE Physics tuition means your tutor can share circuit simulations and ray-diagram tools on a live whiteboard, mark up past-paper questions in real time, and send written lesson notes after every class. You're also matched to a true Physics specialist for your exact board — not just whoever happens to tutor locally.
