What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

The A Level Physics Tutor centres on Phil, a tutor whose lessons are described across seven accounts as clear, patient and thoroughly prepared. Engineering students and their parents repeatedly note how he breaks down complex concepts, corrects misunderstandings that had gone unnoticed at school, and builds the exam technique needed for confident performance in past papers and the real thing. Reliability is a common thread: he has worked with some families for several years, consistently turning up and providing feedback and homework after each session.

His teaching extends beyond content, helping learners organise their revision and encouraging them to push harder, which parents say has produced swift and steady improvement. Several reviewers also highlight his positive, approachable manner, noting that physics became more understandable and, in some cases, genuinely enjoyable. The support covers A Level Physics and A Level Mathematics, with pupils at various stages of their studies, including those who joined partway through year 13. A recurring point is the patience with which he revisits difficult topics until they make sense, and the challenge he sets to stretch understanding further.

I've been one of Phil's students since the start of year 13 and I can confidently state that he has helped me gain a thorough understanding of complex concepts and topics I struggled to get a grasp of. As well as this he has also helped me develop good exam technique which boosted my confidence when doing past papers and in the actual exam. He's patient when teaching and quite nice to talk to, I highly recommend Phil.

Although only working with Phil for a few months, I can easily and confidently say he is the best physics tutor I havee ever had. He is easily able to help me understand things I found complex and impossible before and always is positive and encouraging. Not only does he help me understtand the content more but it also allows me to start enjoying it more. I recommend Phil highly, thanks.

Phil has worked with many of my A Level Maths students on their A Level Physics and achieved quick and consistent improvement. Students often praise Phil's clarity of explanation, his ability to spot and correct issues that otherwise would have gone undetected at school and his approach to helping students organise themselves. You are in safe hands with Phil as your A Level Physics tutor.
