Curious by nature, engineer by training, teacher by heart.

Hi! I was born in Güines, a big village in Cuba, where I grew up surrounded by nature—probably why I still love being outside. I went to a high-tech secondary school, where I fell in love with Physics, Mathematics, science, and electronics. Later, I moved to Europe and got my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electronic Engineering. Seven years in different European cities gave me a love for art, history, and museums, and friends from all over the world.

I worked first as an engineer in a biotechnology research center, and later taught IGCSE Math, Physics, and Science for over 10 years at an international school in Havana (ISH). I also tutored students in A-level Physics online. Tutoring and classroom teaching taught me what inclusiveness, active learning, differentiation, and inquiry really mean.

Now I'm retired from in-person teaching and living in Buenos Aires with my wife and my daughter's family. I'm excited to keep teaching and learning with you!

Teaching provides a unique opportunity to shape lives and influence young people towards a responsible future, hence, my passion for teaching. As one with a passion for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, I understand that many students face real challenges grasping the concepts of the subjects. Hence, teaching provides me the avenue to tackle this, while also making a contribution; giving back to the society and also challenging myself towards further growth and development. I have taught since my secondary school days; taking more than 800 students in total; at various levels (on a one-on-one basis, in groups and at mass teaching levels). I have also taught at various educational levels (secondary and tertiary) as well as to a diverse range of student ethnic backgrounds with a very high success rate in student comprehension evinced by their later performance. Having gained significant experience teaching this subject, I have a very broad understanding of what is expected of students writing the GCSEs and A-level exams. I have also prepared students for varying exams including the – 11+, 13+, 16+, and curricula - GCSE and A-levels (Edexcel, OCR, AQA), IB (SL and HL) and Scottish National with excellent results from students - most of my students achieving grades 8 and 9. My teaching success rate has been largely due to my deep and vast understanding of the subject matter, coupled with my calm, interesting and engaging manner of communication that makes even an average and uninterested student develop a desire for Maths and Science. I use diverse teaching-aids, web-resources etc. as necessary."

I hold a First Class honours degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Advanced Chemical Engineering from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. I am also a UK Qualified Teacher with more than 4000 hours teaching/tutoring experience over a period of 15+ years. This has provided me with diverse experience necessary for tutoring different students' backgrounds with evident successes in the exams. I am hoping to be of help and assistance to any student in need.

Mahesh B is an experienced A Level Physics educator and International Examiner with over a decade of full-time teaching experience. He has taught students from different countries and academic backgrounds, helping them develop a strong understanding of Physics while preparing them systematically for their examinations.

Mahesh teaches Cambridge International (CAIE) A Level Physics and Pearson Edexcel International A Level Physics. His experience with both examination boards allows him to understand the differences in syllabus structure, question styles, assessment requirements and examination expectations. He adapts his lessons according to the student's specific specification rather than using the same approach for every exam board.

Alongside teaching, Mahesh works as a Cambridge International A Level Physics Examiner and Pearson Edexcel A Level Physics Examiner. His examining experience gives him first-hand exposure to mark schemes, assessment criteria and student responses. Having assessed examination answers, he has developed a clear understanding of the areas where students commonly lose marks and the level of explanation, working and reasoning expected in different types of questions.

He brings this examiner experience directly into his tutoring. Students learn not only how to arrive at the correct answer but also how to approach an examination question, show their working clearly, explain their reasoning, use appropriate units and present answers in a way that addresses the requirements of the question.

His teaching approach is centred on understanding Physics rather than memorising formulas. He breaks down difficult concepts into simpler ideas and then helps students apply those concepts through numerical problems, diagrams, real-world examples and exam-style questions. Particular attention is given to topics that students find challenging and to developing the mathematical and analytical skills required for A Level Physics.

A significant part of his teaching involves past-paper practice and examination preparation. Rather than simply working through large numbers of questions, Mahesh encourages students to understand why a particular approach works, identify patterns in questions, recognise common errors and learn from their mistakes. This helps students become more confident when they encounter unfamiliar problems in examinations.

Mahesh also provides individualised one-to-one online tutoring to students worldwide. He has worked with students from diverse educational backgrounds and adapts the pace, depth and teaching style according to each student's needs. Whether a student is struggling with fundamental concepts, looking to improve their examination technique or preparing for high grades, lessons are structured around their individual areas of difficulty.

In addition to teaching, Mahesh has worked as a Physics content developer with Revision Village and Pamoja, contributing to the development of educational and learning resources. This experience has strengthened his ability to explain Physics clearly and create structured, student-friendly learning material.

His online lessons are interactive and highly visual, making use of digital writing, simulations, animations, illustrations and real-world applications wherever they help students understand a concept more effectively. He aims to create an environment where students can ask questions freely, work through problems step by step and develop confidence in their own ability to solve Physics problems.

With his combination of 10+ years of teaching experience, CAIE and Pearson Edexcel examining experience, international tutoring experience and educational content-development work, Mahesh brings both subject expertise and an examiner's perspective to A Level Physics tutoring.

His ultimate aim is to help students understand Physics deeply, approach challenging problems with confidence and develop the examination skills needed to demonstrate their knowledge effectively.

Over the last twenty years I have gained significant classroom and management experience at several State, Grammar and Independent Schools. I have been out of the classroom environment recently but continue to keep up to date with Education Policy and support students away from the school environment via home tutoring.

I am an experienced teacher with a passion towards my subject and have a great desire that all pupils across the ability range are inspired by Science; there is no greater job satisfaction for me than when that inspiration leads to students excelling in examinations or pursuing a career in medicine. As Head of Biology at Kingston Grammar School I managed a team of four experienced teachers- as well as being actively involved in the overall management of the Science department.

I was successful in improving both A-Level and GCSE results year on year. I was responsible for co-ordinating Community Service placements for students in the wider community. I also worked closely with Brunel University with their PGCE programme and was part of a team inspected by OFSTED and I was awarded as ‘outstanding’ in my mentoring work with PGCE students at Kingston Grammar.

Whilst my teaching specialism is Biology I have also taught Chemistry and Physics at key stage three, four and A Level.

I’m Taiwo, a tutor with ten years of teaching and tutoring experience and a B.Sc. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University. I teach A-level, GCSE and IGCSE students, bringing together subject knowledge, classroom experience and a patient, practical approach to learning.

My subjects include Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English Language and Computer Science. My current GCSE teaching includes AQA Mathematics at Foundation and Higher levels and AQA English Language. My engineering background strengthens my teaching of Mathematics and Physics, while my professional software development experience allows me to connect computing concepts with practical applications.

I plan lessons around what each student needs. Some need to rebuild foundations; others understand the content but struggle to apply it in unfamiliar exam questions. I identify those gaps, explain ideas clearly and guide students towards solving problems independently. In Mathematics, that means understanding why a method works and recognising when to use it. In Science, it means connecting concepts, calculations and experimental evidence. In English, it means moving beyond identifying techniques to developing thoughtful analysis supported by precise examples.

Students can expect structured lessons, personalised homework and detailed feedback. I use past papers and mark schemes to help them understand what questions demand, improve the clarity of their answers and develop effective revision habits. I track difficulties across lessons so that we revisit what needs attention rather than simply move through topics.

I currently work with international learners, including students in the UK and Hong Kong, and understand the importance of adapting explanations to different educational and language backgrounds. I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, willing to attempt challenging work and able to recognise their own progress. My aim is to build secure understanding, greater independence and confident exam preparation.

Why A-Level Physics needs the right tutor

What makes A-Level Physics hard

A-Levels move faster and go deeper than anything students have done before, and they are studied alongside two or three other subjects at the same level. Classes are taught to the middle of the room, so gaps are easy to carry forward unnoticed until the exam.

  • A sharp step up in difficulty from GCSE
  • Marks decided by technique, not recall
  • Grades that determine university options

How tutoring changes the outcome

One-to-one tutoring targets the two things a classroom cannot: exam technique and the specific topics a student keeps getting wrong. A tutor marks work the way an examiner would, shows where the marks went, and then drills those areas until they hold. Confidence follows from that, not the other way round.

  • Exam technique built on real past papers
  • Targeted work on areas of weakness
  • Confidence going into the exam

What you'll learn in A-Level Physics tutoring

Core skills developed

Every A-Level Physics specification marks a similar progression: knowing the physics, applying it to calculations and unfamiliar situations, and analysing and evaluating data and experiments. On AQA, OCR, Edexcel and WJEC and Eduqas, application is the largest objective at roughly 40–45% of the marks, and at least 40% of the marks need maths at Level 2 or above. Cambridge and Edexcel International instead reserve 20% of the marks for experimental skills, examined in their own practical papers, and OxfordAQA adds a fourth objective for selecting, describing and evaluating scientific procedures. We work through past-paper questions objective by objective, so you can see which skill is costing you marks rather than just seeing a lower total.

  • Rearranging and combining equations, with units and significant figures handled correctly
  • Graph skills: gradients, areas, intercepts and logarithmic plots
  • Problem-solving in mechanics, fields and circuits when the method is not given
  • Practical skills: measurement, uncertainties and evaluating experimental methods
  • Explaining phenomena in precise physical terms, from wave behaviour to nuclear decay

How are students assessed

Physics is assessed by written exams, with no coursework counting towards the grade. On AQA, OCR, Edexcel and Eduqas, teachers assess practical competence across the required practical activities and award a separate Practical Endorsement, while the written papers test practical understanding. Cambridge sets a practical exam and a written planning, analysis and evaluation paper, WJEC in Wales sets a practical examination unit worth 10% of the A level, and Edexcel International and OxfordAQA examine practical skills in written papers. Cambridge, Edexcel International, OxfordAQA and WJEC let you sit the AS or first-year units first and carry the result towards the full A-Level.

  • Multiple-choice and short structured questions: drilled against real past papers for speed and accuracy
  • Calculations: setting out working so that marks are kept even when an earlier answer is wrong
  • Extended responses and practical questions: rewritten until the physics is complete and an examiner could award full marks

What A-Level Physics topics do we cover?

OxfordAQA A-Level

Five units, each a 2-hour, 80-mark paper worth 20% of the International A-level. Units 1 and 2 make up the International AS and Units 3 to 5 complete the International A-level. Exams run in January and May/June. You can sit the AS units in the first year or take all five together, and any unit can be resat with the best result counting.

International AS

  • Unit 1: Mechanics, materials and atoms (3.1 Measurements and their errors; 3.2 Mechanics and materials; 3.3 Particles, radiation and radioactivity)
  • Unit 2: Electricity, waves and particles (3.4 Electricity; 3.5 Oscillations and waves)

International A2

  • Unit 3: Fields and their consequences (3.6 Circular and periodic motion; 3.7 Gravitational fields and satellites; 3.8 Electric fields and capacitance; 3.9 Exponential change; 3.10 Magnetic fields)
  • Unit 4: Energy and Energy resources (3.11 Thermal physics; 3.12 Nuclear energy; 3.13 Energy sources)
  • Unit 5: Physics in practice (36 marks of practical and data analysis skills and 44 marks of synoptic questions on any content)

OxfordAQA gives a whole unit to practical and synoptic physics, and Unit 4 includes a section on energy sources that AQA's UK A-level does not have. As in its other sciences, the AS is worth 40% of the A-level rather than 50%, and a fourth assessment objective rewards selecting, describing and evaluating scientific procedures. Sessions on this board treat Unit 5 as a full paper in its own right and practise procedure questions on every required practical.

WJEC A-Level

WJEC (Wales) and Eduqas (England) offer separate A level Physics qualifications with different structures, though both include a choice of one option from the same four. We match tutors to the board on your exam entry.

WJEC · Wales

Five units sat in the summer series: two AS units and three A2 units. Units 1 and 2 are 1 hour 30 minutes and 20% of the A level each, Unit 3 is 2 hours 15 minutes and Unit 4 is 2 hours, at 25% each, and Unit 5 is a practical examination worth 10%.

  • AS Unit 1: Motion, Energy and Matter
  • AS Unit 2: Electricity and Light
  • A2 Unit 3: Oscillations and Nuclei
  • A2 Unit 4: Fields and Options
  • A2 Unit 5: Practical examination

Eduqas · England

Three written components sat in May/June at the end of the course: Component 1 (2 hours 15 minutes, 100 marks, 31.25%), Component 2 (2 hours, 100 marks, 31.25%) and Component 3 (2 hours 15 minutes, 120 marks, 37.5%). Practical competence is assessed through a separate Practical Endorsement that does not contribute to the grade.

  • Component 1: Newtonian Physics
  • Component 2: Electricity and the Universe
  • Component 3: Light, Nuclei and Options

WJEC's Unit 5 is sat in the spring term of the second year: a 90-minute Experimental Task and a 60-minute Practical Analysis Task, both marked by WJEC, with the main topic areas given to centres early in that term. Eduqas Component 1 ends with a 20-mark comprehension question, and the option is worth 20 marks of Component 3. Sessions on this board prepare the Unit 5 tasks for WJEC students and the comprehension and option questions for Eduqas students.

IAL A-Level

Six units, each examined separately in January, June or October rather than all at the end. Units 1 and 2 (1 hour 30 minutes, 80 marks each) and Unit 3: Practical Skills in Physics I (1 hour 20 minutes, 50 marks) make up the International AS. Units 4 and 5 (1 hour 45 minutes, 90 marks each) and Unit 6: Practical Skills in Physics II (1 hour 20 minutes, 50 marks) complete the IAL. In the full IAL, Units 1, 2, 4 and 5 are each worth 20% and Units 3 and 6 are each worth 10%. Any unit can be resat.

International AS

  • Unit 1: Mechanics and Materials (Mechanics; Materials)
  • Unit 2: Waves and Electricity (Waves and Particle Nature of Light; Electric Circuits)
  • Unit 3: Practical Skills in Physics I

International A2

  • Unit 4: Further Mechanics, Fields and Particles (Further Mechanics; Electric and Magnetic Fields; Nuclear and Particle Physics)
  • Unit 5: Thermodynamics, Radiation, Oscillations and Cosmology (Thermodynamics; Nuclear Decay; Oscillations; Astrophysics and Cosmology)
  • Unit 6: Practical Skills in Physics II

Practical skills are examined in Units 3 and 6 as written papers on planning, carrying out and analysing experiments, including unfamiliar ones, rather than through a teacher-assessed endorsement. The A* also depends on the second year specifically: you need an A overall and at least 90% of the uniform marks across the IA2 units combined. Sessions on this board prepare each unit for its own exam series and give the practical skills papers dedicated time.

EDEXCEL A-Level

Thirteen topics examined in three papers, all sat in May/June of the same year. Paper 1: Advanced Physics I and Paper 2: Advanced Physics II are each 1 hour 45 minutes, 90 marks and 30% of the qualification. Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Physics is 2 hours 30 minutes, 120 marks and 40%, and can draw on any topic. Students carry out sixteen core practicals, and the Science Practical Endorsement is reported separately.

Paper 1: Advanced Physics I

  • Topic 1: Working as a Physicist
  • Topic 2: Mechanics
  • Topic 3: Electric Circuits
  • Topic 6: Further Mechanics
  • Topic 7: Electric and Magnetic Fields
  • Topic 8: Nuclear and Particle Physics

Paper 2: Advanced Physics II

  • Topic 1: Working as a Physicist
  • Topic 4: Materials
  • Topic 5: Waves and Particle Nature of Light
  • Topic 9: Thermodynamics
  • Topic 10: Space
  • Topic 11: Nuclear Radiation
  • Topic 12: Gravitational Fields
  • Topic 13: Oscillations

Edexcel lets schools teach the same content either concept-first or through the Salters Horners context-led approach, which starts from applications such as sport, music and space. Both routes lead to the same three papers. Paper 3 carries 40% of the marks and tests the theory behind the sixteen core practicals as well as synoptic questions. Sessions on this board build towards Paper 3 from the start and work with whichever teaching route your school uses.

OCR A-Level

OCR runs two separate A Levels in Physics, each with three written papers sat in the same summer series and a Practical Endorsement reported separately. Physics A sets Modelling physics (01) and Exploring physics (02), each 2 hours 15 minutes, 100 marks and 37% of the A Level, and Unified physics (03), 1 hour 30 minutes, 70 marks and 26%. Physics B (Advancing Physics) sets Fundamentals of physics (01), 2 hours 15 minutes, 110 marks, 41%; Scientific literacy in physics (02), 2 hours 15 minutes, 100 marks, 37%; and Practical skills in physics (03), 1 hour 30 minutes, 60 marks, 22%. We match tutors to the specification code on your exam entry.

OCR is withdrawing Physics B: September 2026 is the last first-teaching date and Summer 2028 is the final exam series, with no resit opportunity afterwards. Its Scientific literacy in physics paper includes a pre-release Advance Notice article. On Physics A, Papers 01 and 02 each open with a 15-mark multiple-choice section and Unified physics draws on all six modules. Sessions on this board follow your specification's module order and, for Physics B, work through the Advance Notice article and treat the final series as the only attempt.

AQA A-Level

Eight core sections and five options, examined in three papers sat together at the end of the course. Paper 1 (2 hours, 85 marks, 34% of the A-level) covers Sections 1 to 5 and 6.1 Periodic motion. Paper 2 (2 hours, 85 marks, 34%) covers 6.2 Thermal physics and Sections 7 and 8, assuming knowledge of the earlier sections. Papers 1 and 2 each include 25 multiple-choice questions. Paper 3 (2 hours, 80 marks, 32%) has a compulsory section on practical skills and data analysis and a section on one option. The Practical Endorsement is assessed by teachers and reported separately from the grade. For UK overseas centres only, AQA is withdrawing this A-level: September 2026 is the last first teaching and summer 2028 the last first sitting, with a final resit in summer 2029.

Core content

  • 1 Measurements and their errors
  • 2 Particles and radiation
  • 3 Waves
  • 4 Mechanics and materials
  • 5 Electricity
  • 6 Further mechanics and thermal physics (A-level only)
  • 7 Fields and their consequences (A-level only)

Options · one studied for Paper 3

  • 9 Astrophysics
  • 10 Medical physics
  • 11 Engineering physics
  • 12 Turning points in physics
  • 13 Electronics

Paper 3 splits into 45 marks on practical experiments and data analysis, built on the 12 required practicals, and 35 marks on the option your school chooses. That option is taught on top of the core, so it needs its own revision time. Sessions on this board cover your school's option in full and practise the Paper 3 practical and data analysis questions to time.

CIE A-Level

Twenty-five topics. AS Level candidates study Topics 1 to 11 and sit Papers 1, 2 and 3. Full A Level candidates study all twenty-five and sit all five papers, with AS content assumed knowledge in Paper 4. Paper 1 is 40 multiple-choice questions and Paper 2 is AS structured questions (60 marks), each 1 hour 15 minutes. Paper 3, Advanced Practical Skills, is a 2-hour practical exam. Paper 4 is A Level structured questions (2 hours, 100 marks, 38.5% of the A Level) and Paper 5, Planning, Analysis and Evaluation, is a 1 hour 15 minute written paper with two compulsory questions. You can sit the AS first and carry the result forward, or take all five papers in one series. Exams run in June and November, with a March series in India.

AS Level · Topics 1 to 11

  • 1 Physical quantities and units
  • 2 Kinematics

Cambridge examines practical skills directly: Paper 3 is a hands-on practical exam, and Paper 5 asks you to plan an experiment and analyse data in contexts that may sit outside the syllabus. Medical physics and astronomy and cosmology are compulsory A Level topics here, not options. Sessions on this board practise Paper 3 and Paper 5 skills alongside the theory. The syllabus for 2028 to 2030 makes no significant changes that affect teaching.

FAQs

We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.

How much does A-Level Physics tutoring cost?

A-Level Physics with an academic tutor starts from $60 USD (£45) per hour. Packages save 5 to 15%, useful for a run of past paper practice. Pay as you go is invoiced after each lesson, with no lock-in contracts. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. See pricing.

Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the lesson fee. That applies if you cancel less than one hour before the start time, or don't turn up. You can still change a session time whenever you need to, as long as you give your tutor notice.

Who are your A-Level Physics tutors?

Our academic tutors achieved an A* or A in A-Level Physics. Our professional tutors are qualified teachers or examiners with 5+ years' experience. Only the top 5% of applicants are accepted, and you are matched to a tutor who knows your board, from AQA's Paper 3 option to Cambridge's practical papers. See how we select tutors.

How does A-Level Physics tutoring work?

You get one-to-one online lessons with a tutor matched to Physics, your exam board and your target grade. Sessions target your weak topics with past paper questions from your board. In Physics that often means setting out calculations so method marks survive an early error, tightening definitions, and drilling gradients, intercepts and uncertainty questions. Read how it works or start an application.

Is A-Level Physics hard?

Yes, for most students, because A-Level Physics is as much a maths course as a science. Algebra, graphs, trigonometry and logarithms carry a large share of the marks, and the hardest questions describe a situation you have not seen and leave you to choose the method. Marks are commonly lost on multi-step problems where an early slip carries through, on explanations written in everyday language rather than precise physics, and on uncertainty and practical questions. See how our tutoring works.

How hard is it to get an A* in A-Level Physics?

It is hard but realistic with the right preparation. In summer 2026, 11.5% of UK A-Level Physics entries achieved an A*, and 32.5% achieved A* or A (JCQ). An A* needs consistent accuracy across every paper: full working with correct units, precise definitions, confident graph and uncertainty work, and the ability to choose the right model in unfamiliar, multi-step problems.

What are the grade boundaries for A-Level Physics?

Grade boundaries are set after each exam series and change every year. In June 2026, AQA's A* boundary was 191 out of 250 (76%) for the Astrophysics option, and OCR's Physics A boundary was 207 out of 270 (77%). Cambridge's June 2026 A* threshold was 198 out of 260 (76%) for one standard paper combination.

Official tables: AQA, OCR and Cambridge.

Does A-Level Physics have coursework or a practical endorsement?

There is no coursework, but practical skills matter. On AQA, OCR, Edexcel and Eduqas, teachers assess you across the required practicals for the Practical Endorsement, reported separately as Pass or Not Classified and not part of your grade. Cambridge instead sets Paper 3, a 2-hour practical exam, and Paper 5 on planning, analysis and evaluation. Edexcel International examines practical skills in written Units 3 and 6.

See the OCR Physics A specification and Cambridge syllabus.

How is A-Level Physics assessed?

A-Level Physics is assessed by written exams, with no coursework in the grade. On AQA, OCR, Edexcel and Eduqas, all papers are sat at the end of Year 13. AQA sets three 2-hour papers worth 34%, 34% and 32%. Edexcel sets two 1 hour 45 minute papers (90 marks, 30% each) and a 2 hour 30 minute Paper 3 (120 marks, 40%). The biggest difference is Cambridge: five papers, including a 2-hour practical exam, and you can sit the AS first.

We also cover OCR, Edexcel International, WJEC and Eduqas and OxfordAQA. See the AQA Physics specification.
