Make the invisible visible
Physical Sciences tutoring,online.
Physical Sciences asks students to move between a real event, a diagram, an equation and a written explanation without losing the thread.

Where students lose marks
Formulas without models
Substitution works only until the question changes shape.
Units and signs
A sound method can unravel through one missed conversion or direction.
Chemistry becomes arithmetic
Moles and concentration combine chemical reasoning with several numerical steps.
Practical questions
Planning and evaluating experiments require a different answer style.
What we help with
Six common reasons students ask for support.
What we cover
One subject name. Three curriculum structures.
Route 1
CAPS and IEB
One subject covering physics and chemistry. CAPS and IEB teach the same content. IEB sets and marks its own, more application-heavy papers.
- Mechanics
- Waves, sound and light
- Electricity and magnetism
- Matter and materials
- Chemical change
- Chemical systems
Route 2
Cambridge IGCSE
Two separate subjects and grades.
Physics 0625
- Motion, forces and energy
- Thermal physics
- Waves
- Electricity and magnetism
- Nuclear physics
- Space physics
Chemistry 0620
- States of matter
- Atoms, elements and compounds
- Stoichiometry
- Electrochemistry
- Chemical energetics
- Chemical reactions
- Acids, bases and salts
- The Periodic Table
- Metals
- Chemistry of the environment
- Organic chemistry
- Experimental techniques and chemical analysis
Route 3
IB
Separate Physics and Chemistry courses at HL and SL.
Physics
- Space, time and motion
- The particulate nature of matter
- Wave behaviour
- Fields
- Nuclear and quantum physics
Chemistry
- Models of matter
- Models of bonding and structure
- Classification of matter
- What drives chemical reactions
- How much, how fast and how far
- Mechanisms of chemical change
The useful distinction: A student moving from a South African school to Cambridge or IB takes two subjects where they previously took one. IB HL adds depth within the same headings.

How lessons work
Focused on the student in front of us.
Lessons are one-on-one, or in a small group if you already know students taking the same subject at the same level. They are always online, so location does not narrow the tutor match.
Book more before an assessment, fewer sessions between tests, or work steadily through the term when foundations need rebuilding.
- 1
Tell us where the marks are going
Share the subject, level and what is not working.
- 2
We match the tutor
At least 75% in the subject or an honours degree in it.
- 3
Book the hours you need
Start from thirty minutes; pay by card, EFT or supported bursary.
Bursary-funded learning
A supported bursary can pay for tutoring or a recorded course.
Use Intellimali where supported, or receive an invoice to claim from your programme.
Questions
Before you book
Start with the part that is not working.
Tell us the level, curriculum and where the student is stuck. We’ll use that to make the tutor match.
