Specialist A-Level Physics tuition
Here's what almost nobody tells you: hard work alone won't move a Physics grade. The marks are lost on technique, on knowing exactly what each question is really asking. That's what we teach, with real teachers who make it click. It's why our students' grades move, and fast.

Hard work alone rarely moves a Physics grade. Knowing exactly how to attack each question type does, and that's what we teach.
A student who can solve the problem on paper still drops the marks: wrong command word, working not shown the way the mark scheme wants, a vector mislabelled. That's not a knowledge gap. It's a technique gap, and that's teachable. Fast.
We show your child what the examiner is actually asking, so they stop leaving marks on the table that they genuinely knew how to win.
"I'm just not a Physics person" turns into calm, methodical problem-solving, because once the method clicks the panic stops.
We target the marks that sit between a C and an A*, the handful that decide whether the university offer holds.
Our method
Every exam question has a hidden structure: a command word that tells you exactly what the examiner wants, and a mark scheme that only rewards one way of answering. Most students never see it. We teach them to dissect a question on sight: spot the command word, map it to the marks, and answer in the examiner's language.
"State"
Wants one line. No working, no explanation. Just the fact, stated cleanly.
"Explain"
Wants the physics behind it. The cause, not just the what. Miss the 'because' and you miss the mark.
"Show that"
Wants every step on the page, even the obvious ones. The answer's given; the marks are in the journey.
Miss the difference and you lose marks you'd already earned in your head. Spot it every time, and the grade looks after itself. That's what Ninja Question Analysis trains your child to do: automatically, under pressure, in the exam.
Our hybrid model blends personal 1:1 attention with the momentum of small-group online lessons.
We start with a no-cost lesson and a call to understand your child's grade goals, exam board and where they're losing marks.
Focused one-to-one sessions fix individual gaps, while small online groups build exam-technique through worked, timed practice.
We mark progress against real past-paper questions, so you can see the grade moving, not just hope it is.
Stuck on a question at 9pm the night before it's due? Send it to Turbo Tutor and get help from a real expert teacher within minutes, not at the next lesson. Included with every programme.
Around 100 A-Level Physics students learn with us every year. Many go on to study at leading universities.
Based on 46 verified reviews from students and parents.
“One of the biggest lies they tell you about A-Level Physics is that it's next to impossible…”
“My dream university offer had asked an A grade from me for Physics A-Level… I had gotten a C/D grade in my January mocks… 8 weeks later, I'm getting As in my practice papers with heaps more confidence and I couldn't have done it without Alison's kindness and support!”
Ayat Ali
“Physics was her nemesis… 'A' Level results came out yesterday and we are super proud… the biggest improvement by a country mile was Physics! University here she comes… I cannot recommend Alison and 42 Tutoring highly enough.”
Kirsten Watson
“My daughter's passion for physics has been transformed in a couple of months… Her grades have improved too… I can't recommend them enough… Worth every penny!”
Elshaymaa Molokhia
“Their subject knowledge is exceptional… ensuring that students not only understood the content but also developed confidence in applying it to exam-style questions… we would highly recommend their tutoring to anyone seeking high-quality A Level Physics provision.”
Sarah Steele
“Brilliant tutoring service, my son was struggling in Physics A level tests and this has helped him greatly. Alison explains everything well and is approachable, supportive and has a very quick response time… we would highly recommend this service.”
Riz B
“One of the biggest lies they tell you about A Level Physics is that it's next to impossible… I really appreciated the focus on exam technique… Taking the April course was probably the single best thing I did for my physics grade this year, and my confidence in my own abilities shot up alongside my past paper marks.”

No call-centre tutors, no rotating strangers. Just two specialists who've taught many hundreds of students over more than 60 years between them, including plenty who went on to Oxford and Cambridge.
Founder & A-Level Physics Tutor
I've taught A-Level Physics for over 25 years and started 42tutoring with one mission: to help as many people as possible actually understand Physics, not just survive it. I also love robots and have a glow-in-the-dark, astronomy-themed kitchen. Because why not.
A-Level Physics Tutor
Bryan is, by some distance, the most entertaining person you'll meet to explain electromagnetic induction to a teenager. He drives an electric car charged from the solar panels on his own roof and keeps chickens, and somehow it all ends up in the lesson. Students remember the lessons. That's rather the point.
Whether your school follows AQA, OCR or Pearson Edexcel, our tutoring is matched precisely to your child's specification.

We tutor all major UK A-Level Physics specifications, including AQA, OCR (A & B) and Pearson Edexcel.
We use a hybrid model that combines focused 1:1 sessions with small-group online lessons, so students get personal attention alongside dedicated exam-technique coaching.
We don't just go over more content. We teach exam technique. Our Ninja Question Analysis trains students to decode exactly what each question wants and answer in the examiner's language. And every programme includes Turbo Tutor: instant access to a real expert Physics teacher between lessons, so a student stuck at 9pm isn't stuck for long.

Experienced Physics specialists. Our team includes a Cambridge graduate with 35+ years' teaching experience and our founder, Dr Alison Camacho, who holds a Physics degree from Bristol, a PhD from Cardiff and is a member of the Institute of Physics.
Yes. Our focus on exam technique targets the specific marks students lose most often, which is usually the fastest way to move a grade, even close to the exam.
We know what it's like to watch a bright, hard-working teenager start to believe they're "just not a Physics person." They almost always are. They're usually just missing the technique, and that we can fix.
