An A-level physics tutor from Priority Education is a qualified, experienced science teacher who teaches a one-hour weekly lesson, with two a week recommended in Years 12 and 13. Weekly A-level physics lessons are listed on the site; the Revision Booster days are listed for biology, chemistry and maths, so ask on the call whether a physics Booster is running.
What does an A-level physics tutor from Priority Education do?
An A-level physics tutor from Priority Education teaches a one-hour weekly lesson that works through the A-level physics content alongside exam skills and exam questions. The site says its tutors are qualified and experienced teachers; the business is directed by Louise Finn and Steven Finn, each with over 15 years of classroom science teaching, in roles including Head of Science (Louise) and Deputy Headteacher (Steven).
The site lists A-level physics among its weekly science lessons, describes them as suited to all abilities, and recommends that Year 12 and 13 students attend twice a week where possible. Home-educated students are welcome, and the site says it can teach to any exam board’s curriculum.
Where do students lose marks in A-level physics?
Marks in A-level physics are hardest to hold on to in three places: the multiple-choice sections, the practical and data-analysis section, and the option topic. On AQA, Papers 1 and 2 each carry 25 multiple-choice questions alongside 60 marks of written answers, and Paper 3 gives 45 marks to practical skills and data analysis and 35 to one optional topic.
Multiple choice punishes slow algebra and unit slips, because there is no method mark to fall back on. Practical analysis punishes students who have done the experiments but never written up gradients and uncertainties under time pressure. The option topic, one of astrophysics, medical physics, engineering physics, turning points in physics or electronics, is often taught late in the course and can get the least revision time. Lessons can give time to all three.
| AQA A-level physics (7408) | Content | Length and marks | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | Sections 1 to 5 and 6.1 (periodic motion): 60 marks written answers, 25 multiple choice | 2 hours, 85 marks | 34% |
| Paper 2 | Section 6.2 (thermal physics), 7 (fields and their consequences) and 8 (nuclear physics), assuming sections 1 to 6.1: 60 marks written answers, 25 multiple choice | 2 hours, 85 marks | 34% |
| Paper 3 | Section A: 45 marks practical skills and data analysis. Section B: 35 marks on one option from sections 9 to 13 | 2 hours, 80 marks | 32% |
If your child sits a different board, tell the tutor on the call; lessons follow the specification your child is entered for.
What do the weekly A-level physics lessons cover?
Weekly A-level physics lessons cover the core content of the course plus exam skills and technique, taught “little and often” across the year. Each lesson is one hour, and the site says the best exam progress comes from students who commit to regular lessons over a longer period.
Content is applied to exam questions in the same hour, so the method and the mark scheme are learned together.
How is physics taught when a tutor works online?
A physics tutor working online teaches with a shared screen: the diagram, the force arrows or the circuit is drawn live, the student copies it, and every calculation is worked line by line in view. The written sections of the AQA papers are short and long answer questions, so a lesson has to show the full working, not just the result. Whether Priority Education’s lessons are online or in person is confirmed on the free call.
Three habits make online lessons work. The student writes as the teacher writes, rather than watching. Graphs are drawn on paper and held up to the camera, which is the skill the Paper 3 data analysis needs. Multiple-choice questions are done against the clock, since Papers 1 and 2 each contain 25 of them. Ask on the call how your child’s lessons are run.
How is Year 12 different from Year 13 for physics tuition?
In Year 12, A-level physics tuition covers AQA sections 1 to 5, which the specification says are designed for the first year and are also the AS content, and which make up most of Paper 1. In Year 13 it adds further mechanics and thermal physics, fields, nuclear physics and the option topic, and turns to the three-paper exam itself.
Priority Education’s summer-holiday sessions for students entering Year 13 in September 2026 were advertised for A-level biology and chemistry, not physics, so ask whether physics can be added. In Year 13 the Revision Booster calendar lists A-level biology, chemistry and maths; a physics student should ask on the call what is available before mocks and the summer exams.
Are there A-level physics revision days?
Priority Education’s published Revision Booster calendar lists A-level biology, chemistry and maths, not physics, so a physics Booster is not advertised at the time of writing. Weekly A-level physics lessons are listed, and the one-hour school-holiday sessions are described for science and maths without a level, so ask whether A-level physics is covered.
If a physics Booster is what you want, say so on the call. The format for the other subjects is a four-hour day, 9:30 to 11:30 and 12:30 to 14:30, before mocks or final exams.
How many lessons a week does A-level physics need?
Priority Education recommends two one-hour lessons a week for A-level physics students in Years 12 and 13, where possible. One lesson a week is the alternative.
Tell the teacher on the call where your child is against their target grade and they will advise which is right.
Is the tuition online, and does it cover my exam board?
Priority Education’s site says it teaches “students locally, Nationally and Internationally” and can provide tuition “on all exam board curriculum”, but it does not say which lessons are online and which are in person, so the format is confirmed on the free call. Students in the Teesside area can ask about local lessons; see GCSE and A-level tutors in Teesside.
Bring the specification code to the call (AQA’s A-level physics is 7408) so lessons follow the right papers from the first week. For the GCSE-level habits that carry up, see how to revise GCSE physics.
What does an A-level physics tutor cost?
Priority Education does not publish prices; lesson times and prices are discussed on the free call-back. Ask how A-level physics groups are arranged, since group size affects the cost per child.
For a benchmark, read what tutoring costs per hour in the UK and small-group tuition vs one-to-one.
