Need an IB Physics tutor in Islington or online?
IB Physics rewards students who can connect theory to unfamiliar experimental contexts — the syllabus, especially at HL, expects genuine application rather than recall. Muhammad, a Cambridge PhD physicist, works from your child’s actual level and options, so every lesson maps directly onto what they’ll actually be assessed on.
Lessons start with a short diagnostic conversation to find out where your child is now: which topics feel solid, which are guesswork, and whether SL or HL is the right level. From there, sessions run one to one or two to one, in person or online, across the full two-year Diploma course.
What’s covered
- Mechanics
- Thermal physics
- Waves
- Electricity and magnetism
- Circular motion and gravitation
- Atomic, nuclear and particle physics
- Internal assessment (IA) guidance
- Exam technique and paper strategy
Content is matched to your child’s actual level and chosen options, so lessons focus on what they’ll actually sit, not a generic syllabus. Level is reviewed regularly rather than fixed at the outset, since a student’s ceiling can shift a great deal across the two-year course.
Students typically start anywhere from confident-but-inconsistent to unsure where to begin, and work towards the exam-technique fluency that turns understanding into marks across both papers. By the end, most students approach unfamiliar problems with far more confidence than when they began.
