Combo Tutors Academy provides one-to-one online lessons with Physics specialists for families across London, from Hampstead and Islington to Wimbledon and Canary Wharf. Targeted past-paper practice and mark-scheme feedback build secure understanding and exam confidence, helping students work towards higher grades.

Most London sixth forms teach UK A-Levels from AQA, Pearson Edexcel or OCR, while some independent and international schools use Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel International A-Levels. Physics papers, practical requirements and mark schemes differ between these specifications, so we confirm the board, specification code and exam year before matching a tutor. Lessons focus on the step up from GCSE, Year 12 assessments, Year 13 mocks and the summer exam series, using past papers for that specification. If GCSE or IGCSE foundations need work first, our IGCSE Physics tutors in London can help.

Exam boards we cover
Each awarding body writes its own specification, so lessons match the syllabus code, assessment objectives, paper structure and grade boundaries your child faces, using that board's past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports.
Lessons follow this specification's topic order, assessment objectives and paper structure, with past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports. Required practicals, data analysis and the practical endorsement are covered where they apply.

Used by some independent and international schools. These are different qualifications from UK A-Levels, so we confirm which one your child takes and use matching past papers.
The boards divide the same physics in different ways, so revision follows your child's actual papers.
Syllabus coverage
Our A-Level Physics tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where London students most consistently lose marks.
Equilibrium, momentum, energy and Young's modulus.
Superposition, diffraction, photoelectric effect and wave-particle duality.
Kirchhoff's laws, internal resistance and potential dividers.
Circular motion, SHM, gravitational, electric and magnetic fields.
Nuclear binding energy, fission, fusion and particle classification.
Ideal gases, internal energy and first law of thermodynamics.
Error propagation, log graphs and required-practical writeups.
CIE 9702 and Edexcel 9PH0 mark-scheme drilling.
AQA Paper 3 includes one option: astrophysics, medical physics, engineering physics, turning points in physics, or electronics. Schools choose it, and students often revise it last. We confirm the school's option early and give it dedicated lessons, not leftover time.
AQA sets 12 required practicals. The endorsement is signed off at school, and at least 15% of written marks test practical skills. Online lessons focus on the examined part: uncertainties, log graphs, experimental design and past-paper practical questions, marked against the criteria.

How we fix it:Physics questions chain topics, and students lose the thread, not the formula. We teach a set-out routine: data, principle, substitution, units, sense check.
How we fix it:Students write essays instead of derivations. We drill the expected layout until it is automatic.
How we fix it:Percentage uncertainty, error bars and log graphs are predictable marks. We treat them as a topic of their own.
How we fix it:Level-of-response questions need linked points in a logical chain. We teach that structure, using examiner reports.

Sarah M.
IB Mathematics · London
My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.
James P.
A-Level Physics · Manchester
My son started tutoring for A-Level Physics about three months before his exams. His tutor was incredibly patient and broke down complex topics like electromagnetic induction into simple, intuitive steps. He ended up getting an A* which we genuinely didn't think was possible. I'd recommend Combo Tutors to any parent who wants a tutor that actually cares about your child's progress.
Priya K.
GCSE Science · Birmingham
We needed help with GCSE Science for my son who found chemistry particularly challenging. His tutor made the sessions engaging and relatable—using real-world examples that finally made reactions and bonding click for him. He improved by two grades and, more importantly, actually enjoys science now.
Daniel W.
SAT Prep Student · Boston
I used Combo Tutors to prepare for the Digital SAT. My tutor helped me develop a study plan, learn time-management techniques, and practise with realistic mock tests. My score jumped by 150 points between my diagnostic and actual exam. The Digital SAT-specific tips were especially valuable since the format was new to me.
Amira H.
Parent of IGCSE Student · Dubai
Finding a tutor who understood the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus was a challenge until we found Combo Tutors. Our daughter's English tutor was exceptional—she improved her essay structure, analytical writing, and comprehension skills significantly. She achieved an A* and is now much more confident heading into her A-Level studies.
Oliver R.
AP Student · San Francisco
I was really anxious about AP Chemistry because our school teacher moved through the material so fast. My Combo Tutors tutor helped me revisit topics at my own pace, work through past free-response questions, and build a solid revision strategy. I scored a 5 on the exam and feel well-prepared for university chemistry. Couldn't have done it without them.

No. Combo Tutors is an independent tutoring provider with no affiliation to any London school. We don't assume a board from the school's name, so please share the subject specification.
Yes. A tutor reviews recent tests, targets the weakest topics and practises exam-style questions with mark-scheme feedback. How much support is needed depends on the starting point.
Book a free 30-minute trial and tell us the year group, board, recent results and target. We match a tutor and agree a weekly plan.
All five: astrophysics, medical physics, engineering physics, turning points in physics and electronics. Tell us the school's choice and the tutor plans Paper 3 around it.
At least 40% of the marks need mathematical skills: algebra, logs, graphs and trigonometry. Lessons build the maths alongside the physics, so gaps from GCSE maths can be closed early.
Yes for the examined part: required-practical techniques, uncertainty calculations, graph skills and past-paper questions. The Practical Endorsement itself is completed and signed off at school.
Yes, with the same board-matched approach, and students continuing to A-Level keep the same tutor where possible.
