Tom Physics TutorA-Level Physics SpecialistSailed Through GCSE, Bombed the Mock
Many students coast through GCSE, then feel swamped when their first A-Level mock comes back far lower than expected. We close that gap fast, showing them exactly how A-Level Physics is examined.

Sounds Familiar?
Knowing the Content, Not Where to Start
Students understand their notes, yet freeze when they face an exam question. We build the problem-solving skills A-Level really tests, so they know exactly where to start and how to pick up marks.
Past Papers and Mark Schemes Aren't Working
Endless past papers and memorising information you don't fully understand will not fix the real gaps. We target the misunderstandings and common errors examiners highlight, so every hour of practice moves towards your target grade.
Tired of Passive, Same-Old Revision
YouTube videos and starting from the beginning again rarely challenge students. Our interactive lessons treat every student as someone with real potential, pushing them through the tough questions.
Online tutoring with a difference.
This is a fully interactive course with exam-type questions explained and practised with live feedback, so that students quickly learn how to accelerate their learning and understand exactly what examiners are looking for.
A gas is heated from 27 °C to 327 °C. By what factor does the root mean square speed of its molecules increase?
Try it. Every wrong answer is a trap AQA examiners see every year.

Academic Excellence
I teach every lesson live and I can see each student’s work as they write it. A gap in understanding, a missing step in a calculation and a vague explanation each need a different fix. I can work out what went wrong and show the student how to put it right. I can give encouragement and set them on the right path.
Avoid the Traps Curriculum
Each lesson targets a mistake that repeatedly costs students marks. For example, a student might know the right equation but use a temperature in Celsius when the calculation requires kelvin. We practise spotting the same trap in different topics and question styles, so students learn to recognise it even when the exam question looks unfamiliar.
Grade Accelerator Feedback
Every student answers every question and gets instant feedback against the mark scheme. The app shows where it found evidence for a mark and which points the answer may have missed. It also shows me where several students are struggling, so I can address the problem while the question is still fresh. The same feedback continues in homework, giving students another chance to apply the correction on their own.

“Physics clicks when students start working smarter, not harder.
I've been passionate about physics since studying it at school. I went on to study Physics at the Universities of Bath and Liverpool, then trained as a Physics teacher, honing my craft in state schools before teaching at some of the UK's most prestigious independent day and boarding schools.
I've always used technology to improve learning. For the past 5 years I've tutored online, building a curriculum and software platform that lets me deliver grade-accelerating teaching to students wherever they are.
I have studied Physics at both Bath University and Liverpool University. I trained as a Physics teacher at Worcester, and continue to keep up to date with the subject, and with teaching and learning theory and practice.
I have had decades of experience teaching at Stowe School, Warwick School and Bradfield College as a teacher of A-Level Physics.
I have been tutoring online for 5 years, and am a member of The Tutors' Association. After the summer exams I work at the Sherborne Summer School.
I have developed my own online app to deliver the Dodging the Traps programme. It makes every session interactive, gives instant feedback against the mark scheme and records each student's progress.

What parents and students say
“
With his help I was able to gain a better understanding of the concepts in A Level Physics and go from a C to an A grade.
“
Rather than my son being daunted, he is really enjoying and grasping the subject. Feeling really positive for the terms ahead with Tom’s tutoring.
“
Tom’s structured approach gave my daughter genuine confidence going into her exams. The improvement in her written answers was remarkable.
“
I finally understood how to approach unfamiliar questions. Tom explains exactly what the examiner is looking for and why.
The programme
Dodging the traps
Year after year, examiners highlight the same mistakes. Even students who understand the physics can lose marks by misreading a graph scale, skipping a step in a ‘show that’ question, or describing what happens when the question asks them to explain why.
I’ve built a complete online A-Level Physics curriculum to help students recognise these traps and practise avoiding them.
