Group options

There is no open A Level group course. Bring 3 or more students together and we open a private group course for you. The A Level private group is priced per student by how many subjects you take, with 30 hours of live lessons in each: 1 subject (30 hours) $1,150, 2 subjects (60 hours) $2,150, 3 subjects (90 hours) $3,000 and 4 subjects (120 hours) $3,900.

How do you start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. On the free intro call we look at your current A Level level and your goals — a recent score report or a piece of marked work helps — and the study plan is built from there, before you pay for anything. The intro call is a conversation, not a lesson or a test.

A-Level Physics — Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in each year of A-Level Physics?
In a typical course order the first year covers Measurements & Errors, Particles & Radiation, Waves, Mechanics & Materials and 1 more, and the second covers Further Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Fields, Nuclear Physics and 1 more. The papers, their weighting and how the AS relates to the full A Level differ by board, so lessons follow your board's specification. Second-year content builds on the first, which is why gaps left in the first year tend to surface later.
What does A-Level Physics cover?
Across the two years the course covers 10 units: Measurements & Errors, Particles & Radiation, Waves, Mechanics & Materials, Electricity and 5 more. Unit names and grouping vary by board.
How long does A-Level Physics tutoring take?
It depends on where you are starting. Students working alongside school through the year often take one lesson a week; students revising for a resit or repairing one part of the course usually work in a shorter, more intensive block. Which suits you is agreed on the free intro call.
