IGCSE Physics

Develop understanding of forces, energy, waves, electricity, and nuclear physics with strong mathematical application.

IGCSE Physics explores the fundamental laws governing the physical world. From mechanics to electromagnetism, students develop quantitative problem-solving skills and practical investigation techniques essential for engineering and physics pathways.

Course Introduction

Why IGCSE Physics Matters

IGCSE and GCSE grades are usually what sixth forms and IB or A Level programs look at when deciding whether you can take a subject further.

Foundation for A-Level Physics and engineering
Essential for careers in engineering, architecture, and technology
Develops mathematical reasoning and problem-solving
Required for most STEM university courses
A-Level Progression
This IGCSE course prepares you for:
PhysicsEngineeringComputer ScienceMathematics
How it is examined

Grades: Cambridge IGCSE A*–G (9–1 in England only); Pearson Edexcel International GCSE and UK GCSE 9–1.

Papers, tiers and coursework differ by board and by subject, so lessons follow your own specification: tell us your board and syllabus code on the intro call.

How lessons approach Physics

Understanding the content, and answering the questions the way the mark scheme rewards.

Conceptual Understanding
  • Understand equations conceptually, not just memorize
  • Draw clear diagrams for all physics scenarios
  • Connect formulas to real-world applications
  • Practice unit analysis for every calculation
Exam Techniques
  • Always include units in your answers
  • Show substitution into formulas clearly
  • Practice graph interpretation questions
  • Master significant figures and rounding

Past papers

Past papers from your exam board, worked through in lessons with the mark scheme.

IGCSE Physics: lessons, prices and how to start

One-to-one lessons are 90 minutes, live online. Prices are set per program, so they are the same for every IGCSE / GCSE subject.

Group options

There is no open IGCSE / GCSE group course. Bring 3 or more students together and we open a private group course for you. The IGCSE / GCSE 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. There is no separate diagnostic test for IGCSE / GCSE, because no single test stands in for a school syllabus. The first lesson does the assessment: your tutor works through your recent marked work and past-paper questions from your own specification, and reads where you stand. It is a normal paid lesson, not a free trial, and it teaches as it assesses.

Refunds

Not satisfied after your first private lesson? Full (100%) refund. We do not offer free trial lessons. Payment is required before your first lesson. No score is guaranteed. Full terms.
