We teach Cambridge IGCSE Physics online, one to one, to students anywhere in Malaysia. After your WhatsApp enquiry we assign an experienced teacher to your child, and they begin with a paid one-hour trial at that teacher’s confirmed rate, starting from RM80. The rate is confirmed with you before the lesson.

Further lessons continue at the same rate as the trial; schedule and frequency are arranged with the teacher. The trial is a taught class where your own questions and working are the material.

Who is this Physics tuition for?

It suits the student who has learned the formulas and still loses marks. The pattern is familiar: you know that v = s/t exists, but you cannot tell which formula a graph is asking for, or you get a number and the unit is wrong.

You might recognise yourself in one of these situations:

  • You choose a formula straight away, then discover the diagram did not match it. Our guide to choosing a formula before drawing the situation describes this habit.
  • You can read a gradient in class, yet in a test you use area when you should use slope. See gradient and area on a graph.
  • Your answers are correct in size but wrong in direction, because forces were treated as plain numbers.
  • Explanations come out as a list of words rather than a chain: cause, mechanism, result.
  • A parent notices the revision hours are long but the marks are not moving, and wants the time spent on the right gap.

The student does the thinking in the lesson, and the parent decides whether the trial is worth trying.

What can individual teaching do that notes cannot?

A teacher sitting with your working can see the exact line where your reasoning changes direction. In Physics that line is rarely “I did not know the formula”. It is usually a choice made too early: which quantity, which graph feature, which unit, which assumption.

Here is an original example of how that looks in a lesson.

The question. A trolley’s speed-time graph is a straight line from (0 s, 2 m/s) to (10 s, 22 m/s). Find its acceleration, then the distance travelled in the first 6 s.

A student’s first attempt. “Acceleration is speed over time, so 22 ÷ 10 = 2.2 m/s².”

The teacher does not say “wrong”. They ask the student to say what the graph is doing at t = 0.

The trolley is already moving at 2 m/s, so 22 m/s is not the change in speed. The sum 22 ÷ 10 measures something else.

The choice, explained. On a speed-time graph, acceleration is the gradient, because gradient means change in the vertical quantity per unit change in the horizontal quantity. The vertical quantity is speed in m/s, the horizontal is time in s, so the unit of the gradient is m/s ÷ s = m/s².

  • Gradient = (22 − 2) ÷ (10 − 0) = 20 ÷ 10 = 2 m/s².
  • The intercept, 2 m/s, is the starting speed. The equation of the line is v = 2 + 2t.
  • At t = 6 s the speed is v = 2 + 2 × 6 = 14 m/s.
  • Distance is the area under a speed-time graph. Over 0 to 6 s the shape is a trapezium: ½ × (2 + 14) × 6 = 8 × 6 = 48 m.

The check. The student verifies with s = ut + ½at²: 2 × 6 + ½ × 2 × 6² = 12 + 36 = 48 m. Two routes agree, and the unit is metres.

The lesson is the choice. The graph told us what to use (slope for acceleration, area for distance, intercept for the starting value), and the unit confirmed it.

The same move works on current-voltage graphs, extension-load graphs and cooling curves. You can practise the pieces in motion and graphs and measurement and quantities.

Which parts of Physics do students bring most often?

The teacher follows your marked work, so there is no fixed list. These patterns come up often, and each has a page to read first.

  • Graphs and motion: gradient, area, distance versus displacement. Start with motion and graphs.
  • Energy and power calculations: unit conversions and choosing between work, energy and power. See work, energy and efficiency.
  • Waves and light: choosing the right diagram and stating what changes at a boundary. See wave behaviour.
  • Circuits: series and parallel reasoning, and reading current-voltage graphs. See charge and current.
  • Nuclear data: reading half-life from a graph or table. See half-life and background.

The lesson runs on your questions. Tell the teacher your exam year and route, so the work stays in the scope your school or exam centre has entered you for.

Where does tuition reach its limits?

A teacher cannot sit your paper or replace the practice you do between lessons. Try questions alone first, then bring the stuck points to the lesson.

Some practical boundaries:

  • Registration, entry, results and access arrangements belong to your school or exam centre and to Cambridge.
  • Practical and assessed work must remain yours. A teacher can teach the method and the reasoning, not produce your results.
  • Syllabus scope depends on the exam year and your entry. Check the current Cambridge page and our 0625 code and exam-year guide before lessons begin.
  • Self-study may be enough if your errors are only occasional slips. A few original practice sets and a careful read of your marked papers can fix those.

How does it work, from enquiry to trial?

  1. Enquire on WhatsApp. Tell us you want Physics, your year and the topics or question types that trouble you. You do not need to send marks or papers.
  2. We assign a teacher. An experienced Physics teacher is assigned to you, and we confirm that teacher’s rate for the paid one-hour trial, starting from RM80.
  3. Prepare a short agenda. The one-hour trial agenda builder helps you pick two sticking points, so the hour goes on your real difficulty.
  4. Take the trial. It is taught, one to one, online. Bring a question you could not finish.
  5. Reflect, then decide. The post-trial reflection guide separates understanding, communication and clarity about next steps. Further arrangements are discussed directly with the teacher.

The full process is on the trial page and in how tuition works.

Can the teacher build reasoning about units, graphs and assumptions?

Yes, and you can hear it. Ask the teacher to work a graph question aloud, and listen for three things.

  1. Do they name what the graph feature means before calculating?
  2. Do they carry units through every line and use them as a check?
  3. Do they state the assumption, such as constant acceleration or ignoring air resistance, and say what changes if it fails?

In the trial, bring a graph question and watch whether the teacher explains the choice, as in the trolley example, instead of only giving the answer. Physics marks go to the reasoning chain, not a lone final number.

9,000+ students have been helped through our service across all subjects. That is a service-wide figure, so judge Physics by the trial itself.

Where to go next

Start with the Physics learning guide for the full topic map and a study order. Then pick the module that matches your gap: forces and momentum for direction errors, electrical energy and safe interpretation for unit conversions, or physics investigations and explanations for writing conclusions.

If you are still weighing things up, read considering Physics tuition for self-study, group and one-to-one compared. When you are ready, send a WhatsApp enquiry, and choosing a useful lesson focus will help you plan the first hour.

What parents and students tell us

  • For once, [my daughter] said she doesn't hate Physics! Thank you for making the lesson enjoyable. We would like to continue with the lessons.

    Parent

  • We didn't expect her to get an A in Science. Your effort really made a difference in her learning and confidence.

    Parent

  • I got an A for my Physics paper! The questions were similar to the past year papers we did together.

    Student

  • She told me she gained much confidence after attending your class. I hope you can stay with her until Y11. Good teachers are hard to come by.

Questions people ask

How much does the Physics trial cost?

The paid one-hour trial starts from RM80. The exact rate is the assigned teacher's confirmed rate, and we tell you that rate on WhatsApp before the lesson happens. It is a real taught class, not a chat about the syllabus. Fees continue at the same rate as the trial; schedule and frequency are arranged with the teacher.

Do I choose my Physics teacher?

No. After your enquiry we assign an experienced teacher for your Physics level and needs. You tell us your syllabus, year and the topics that worry you, and we use that to decide. After the trial you can talk to the teacher about how the lessons should continue.

Is this suitable for both Core and Extended Physics students?

Yes, the teaching is built around the question you are actually facing, whichever route your school or exam centre entered you for. Check the current syllabus and your entry details on the Cambridge Physics 0625 page, then tell the teacher so lessons stay inside the right scope.

Can the teacher do my practical or coursework-style tasks for me?

No. Your work must stay your own, and your school or exam centre decides how practical assessment is handled. A teacher can explain how to plan a measurement, draw a graph, or state a conclusion, using original examples, so you can do the real task yourself.

Will a one-hour trial be enough to know if it helps?

One hour shows you how the teacher explains, how they react to your mistakes, and whether you leave knowing what to do next. It will not cover the whole syllabus. Use the trial agenda builder beforehand and the reflection guide afterwards to judge it calmly.

Can I have a free explanation of one Physics question first?

No. The trial is a paid, taught hour so a teacher can spend real time on your working. The material on this site, including lessons, practice and difficulty guides, is open for you to use at any time.
