“We had struggled to find a tutor who could support our child specifically with Cambridge IGCSE Physics exam preparation. Jonathan has been a great fit. He focused on the areas our child was struggling with and spent a lot of time working through past papers, explaining mistakes and showing them how to approach different question types. We have seen a noticeable improvement in their confidence, particularly when working under exam conditions.”

“Jonathan has been an exceptional tutor for both Physics and Mathematics. His engineering background really shows in the way he teaches mechanics, forces, calculus, and problem-solving. He doesn’t just go through the syllabus, he ensures concepts are fully understood and applied correctly under exam conditions. We’ve seen clear improvement in confidence and test results in both subjects.”
What you need to know and how we support your child
At Global Tutors we specialise in Physics Tutoring. We match your child with a tutor who fits their level and goals. Our tutors are qualified educators with experience in this area and work with students at different levels and from different curricula. Whether your child is preparing for formal exams or building a stronger foundation, we tailor each session to your child's goals and pace.
Physics Tutoring combines conceptual understanding with calculations and practical work. We focus on definitions, units, and the application of principles so your child can tackle both structured and extended questions.
Many students come to us for help with syllabus coverage, past papers, and exam technique; others want ongoing support to stay on track during the year. We use a one-to-one model so that your child can focus on the topics they find hardest and get immediate feedback. Our tutors are familiar with major exam boards and can align their teaching to your child's specification or school programme.
Students and families choose Global Tutors for personalised Physics support that fits their schedule and time zone. You can book regular weekly sessions or block revision as exams approach.
For Physics, we link theory to the types of questions and practical skills your child's board assesses.

Feedback from our parents, school leaders, and students
I started lessons with Mahgol because I was struggling with both Maths and Physics and felt like I had missed some important foundations from previous years. She didn't make me feel embarrassed about the gaps. Instead, we worked through them properly and then built up to the har…

Common mistakes
Physical Sciences rewards precise definitions and careful working. These are the mistakes that cost learners the most marks.
Laws and definitions earn marks only when the key words are there, and paraphrasing often loses them. Your tutor helps your child learn the required wording and recognise which words carry the marks.
Answers without units, or with values that weren't converted to SI units first, lose marks even when the method is correct. Lessons build the habit of converting at the start and writing the unit on every final answer.
In momentum and vertical motion questions, learners mix up directions and positive and negative signs halfway through. Your tutor teaches your child to choose a direction as positive at the start and keep to it.
Forces need correct labels and arrows drawn from the object, and a missing force usually breaks the calculation that follows. Your tutor practises diagrams until your child can draw them quickly and completely.
Learners often go straight from one substance to another without using the ratio from the balanced equation. Lessons follow a fixed sequence for every calculation: balance, convert to moles, apply the ratio, then convert back.
Questions about Le Chatelier's principle need a full explanation of which reaction is favoured and why, and a one-word answer earns little. Your tutor shows your child how to structure these answers to collect every mark. ---
Study strategy
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
Ongoing
Build understanding of key topics with clear explanations and worked examples. Identify what your child finds hardest and prioritise those areas. We align to your child's syllabus or curriculum so they cover the right content.
Before exams
Introduce past papers and marking schemes. Practise under timed conditions and learn how marks are awarded. Focus on question types and command words so your child answers what is asked.
Revision period
Concentrate on weak areas and common mistakes. Use active recall and spaced repetition where they help. We can tailor this to your child's exam board and subject.
Final weeks
Full past papers under exam conditions. Refine time management and presentation. Avoid last-minute cramming; focus on technique and confidence.
Use past papers and mark schemes as the core of your child's revision.
Practise under timed conditions to build pace.
Target your child's weakest topics first, then consolidate strengths.
Get feedback on structure and presentation, not just content.
A strong approach combines syllabus coverage, past papers, and structured revision. Start by mapping your child's syllabus and identifying gaps.
Use past papers early so you know the format and how marks are awarded. Practise under timed conditions and review your child's work with the mark scheme.
In the run-up to exams, focus on weak areas and full past papers. Time management and clear presentation matter as much as content.
Our tutors can tailor this to your child's curriculum and subject and help your child prioritise what will make the biggest difference.
What your child will achieve
