Why "Generic" Physics Tuition Fails IB Students
IB Physics is not just about memorizing $F=ma$. It is about Scientific Literacy. Most tutors teach "textbook physics," but the IB exams test your ability to apply concepts to unseen scenarios.
1. The "Command Term" Gap
Did you know that "Describe," "Explain," and "Deduce" require three completely different answer structures?
Our Fix: We drill the IB Command Terms. We teach you that "Deduce" means use the previous answer, while "Determine" means calculate from data. This specific exam technique is often the difference between a 5 and a 7.
2. The "Paper 1B" Blind Spot
Under the current IB Physics syllabus, Paper 3 is gone. It has been replaced by Paper 1B: Data-Based Questions.
The Problem: Students are failing this section because they lack skills in linearization and uncertainty propagation.
Our Fix: We turn you into a data analyst. You will master the art of extracting gradients and intercepts to find physical constants from raw graph data.
3. The "Data Booklet" Strategy
The Physics Data Booklet is your best friend in the exam.
Our Fix: We don't just ask you to memorize formulas. We teach you how to navigate the booklet to find hidden relationships between variables that aren't explicitly taught in textbooks.
Complete Coverage of the 5 Core Themes
Theme B: The Particulate Nature of Matter (Thermodynamics)
Key Concepts: The Ideal Gas Law ($PV=nRT$), Specific Heat Capacity, and Phase Changes.
The Trap: Confusing "Internal Energy" with "Temperature." We clarify these definitions to ensure you get the A1 marks (Knowledge & Understanding).
HL Focus: The First Law of Thermodynamics, Entropy, and Cyclic Processes.
Theme C: Wave Behaviour (Optics & Oscillations)
Key Concepts: Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) graphs, Traveling vs. Standing Waves.
The Trap: "Resolution" and "Path Difference."
HL Focus: Interference, Diffraction Gratings, and the Doppler Effect (Moving source vs. Moving observer).
Theme D: Fields (Gravitational & Electric)
The Strategy: We teach "Field Unification." We show you how Gravitational Potential ($V_g$) and Electric Potential ($V_e$) use the exact same mathematical logic. Once you learn one, you know the other.
HL Focus: Electromagnetic Induction (Faraday’s Law, Lenz’s Law) and Capacitors.
Theme E: Nuclear and Quantum Physics
Key Concepts: Atomic spectra, binding energy per nucleon, and Feynman Diagrams.
HL Focus: The Photoelectric Effect, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, and the Schrödinger Model (Probability density functions).
Physics IA
Expert Help for Your IB Physics IA
The Scientific Investigation (IA) accounts for 20% of your grade. It is the only "coursework" component. A strong IA creates a safety net for your final exams.
✅ Criterion A (Design)
We help you refine a Research Question (RQ) that is focused but complex enough for HL.
Bad RQ: "Does length affect pendulum period?" (Too simple).
Good RQ: "How does the angular displacement of a compound pendulum affect its period in the non-small-angle regime?"
✅ Criterion B (Analysis)
his is where marks are lost. We teach you:
Linearization: Plotting $\ln(y)$ vs $\ln(x)$ to determine power laws.
Max/Min Gradients: Using Logger Pro to draw error bars and worst-fit lines.
✅ Criterion C (Evaluation)
We teach you to distinguish between Systematic Errors (Zero error, calibration) and Random Errors (Reaction time, parallax) and how to suggest valid improvements
EXAM TECHNIQUE
Cracking the "Level 7" Code
Getting a 7 in IB Physics usually requires around 70% (depending on grade boundaries). You don't need to be perfect; you need to be strategic.
✅ Paper 1A (MCQ) Strategy
We help you refine a Research Question (RQ) that is focused but complex enough for HL.
Dimensional Analysis: We teach you to check the units of the answers. Often, you can eliminate 3 options just by looking at the units ($J$ vs $W$ vs $N$).
Estimation: No calculator? No problem. We teach you how to approximate $\pi \approx 3$ and $\sqrt{10} \approx 3.16$ to solve problems in seconds.
✅ Paper 1B (Data Analysis) Strategy
The "Gradient" Trick: 50% of Paper 1B answers are hidden in the gradient or the area under the graph. We train you to spot these instantly.
✅ Paper 2 (Long Answer) Strategy
Structure: We teach the "Definition + Formula + Substitution + Answer + Units" workflow to ensure you get all "Method Marks" (M-marks) even if your final calculation is wrong.
Roadmap
Your 2-Year Physics Roadmap
✅ IBDP Year 1: The Foundation
Term 1: Theme A (Mechanics). Master vectors and uncertainties immediately.
Term 2: Theme B (Thermal) & Theme C (Waves). Start exploring simulation tools like PhET.
Term 3: IA Ideation. Choose your topic before the summer break.
✅ IBDP Year 2: The Advanced Concepts
Term 1: Theme D (Fields) & Theme E (Quantum). These are abstract and require intense tutoring support.
Term 2: IA Submission. Ensure your error analysis is perfect.
Term 3: Exam Drill. Focus on Paper 1B Data Analysis and time management.
Tools
Digital Physics Tools We Use
Since we teach online, we use advanced software to visualize the invisible.
✅ Logger Pro / Vernier: For video analysis of motion and advanced graphing.
✅ Algodoo: For 2D mechanics simulations (building virtual pendulums/springs).
✅ Falstad: For visualizing complex electric circuits and capacitor discharge
✅ Desmos: For quick algebraic modeling and function fitting
