Lesson flow
From confusion to calm, one lesson at a time.
Our tutors build a firm conceptual foundation before layering calculation skills — the approach that produces the biggest grade improvements in Physics.
Step 1
Pinpoint the gaps
We start with recent marks, confidence blockers, and the exact exam board so sessions feel personal from lesson one.
Step 2
Teach the mark scheme
Tutors connect concepts to examiner language, worked examples, and the habits that turn knowledge into marks.
Step 3
Track the lift
Parents see what changed after each session: topics covered, next steps, and the grade trajectory we are building toward.
What we cover
A syllabus map students can actually follow.
1Motion, Forces & Energy+
Speed, velocity, acceleration, distance-time and velocity-time graphs, Newton's laws, momentum, work, energy, and power — the foundation of all mechanics questions.
2Thermal Physics+
States of matter, kinetic model, specific heat capacity, latent heat, gas laws, and thermometers — frequently tested with diagram and explanation marks.
3Waves — Light & Sound+
Wave properties, reflection, refraction, total internal reflection, diffraction, electromagnetic spectrum, and the speed of sound.
4Electricity & Circuits+
Charge, current, potential difference, resistance, series and parallel circuits, power calculations, and domestic electricity safety.
5Magnetism & Electromagnetism+
Magnets, magnetic fields, the motor effect, electromagnetic induction, transformers, and the generator effect.
6Nuclear Physics+
Atomic structure, radioactive decay (alpha, beta, gamma), half-life calculations, uses of radiation, and nuclear fission.
7Space Physics+
The solar system, stars, galaxies, the universe, and Big Bang theory — tested in multiple-choice and short-answer format.

Common blockers
Where students struggle, and how we fix it.
1Setting up and rearranging equations+
We teach a systematic approach: identify the equation, list known and unknown quantities, rearrange before substituting, and always include units. This structure eliminates most common calculation errors.
2Describing physics in words+
Many students lose marks on 'explain' and 'describe' questions. We drill the key phrases examiners look for — using precise scientific terminology at every stage.
3Practical skills and data analysis+
We walk through the planning, recording, analysis, and evaluation stages of required practicals so students can answer any experimental question with confidence.

Family trust
Why parents chose Combo.
Families usually want three things: a tutor their child respects, a plan that fits the real paper, and updates that make progress easy to follow.
Handpicked tutors
We shortlist tutors who know the curriculum, teach clearly, and can coach the exact exam habits that lift marks.
Top-university academics and exam-savvy specialists.
Clear weekly updates
Parents see what was covered, what improved, and what needs attention next, so progress never feels vague.
Structured feedback after every lesson block.
A plan built around your child's paper
Sessions are matched to the student's board, tier, topic gaps, and exam timeline instead of generic subject tutoring.
Board-specific support with a measurable target grade path.
Questions families ask before starting.
Is IGCSE Physics the same on CIE and Edexcel?+
The core concepts overlap significantly, but the paper format, question style, and mark scheme language differ. Our tutors work exclusively with your specific exam board's past papers and examiner reports to maximise your marks.
How important is the practical paper?+
The practical paper (Paper 6 on CIE 0625) or alternative-to-practical contributes significantly to your overall grade. We cover experimental design, data analysis, graph plotting, and evaluation of results so you are fully prepared.
My child struggles with Physics calculations — can you help?+
Yes — calculations are one of the most common areas we improve. We teach a step-by-step method: identify the formula, list variables, rearrange, substitute, and state units. Most students see a marked improvement within 3–4 sessions.
Can you help with both Core and Extended tier?+
Yes. We tailor sessions to the tier your child is taking. Extended includes additional content on topics like electromagnetic induction and nuclear physics at greater depth. We assess whether a tier switch could benefit your child.
Do you cover Space Physics?+
Yes, including the solar system, stellar life cycles, galaxies, red shift, and the Big Bang. Space Physics is increasingly well-represented in CIE past papers and is worth revising thoroughly.
