The target audience of this post is teachers and parents who are supporting children with their physics education. Young people are welcome to read it (they may find it interesting) but it could cause extra confusion for all but the most capable students. Brace yourself, this is a long post!

New academic year!
It’s been a frantically busy autumn half-term to start the new academic year 2025-2026! I’m sorry I’ve not had a chance to write any updates or blog posts. As I write this, I’m in Geneva on a school trip. I cannot keep track of how many times I’ve been on this trip now; somewhere betweenContinueContinue reading “New academic year!”
End of the academic year, at last!
Congratulations for getting to the end of the academic year!
Everyone has to get marks somewhere
How do Examination Boards ensure there is a spread of marks? Well, I have an idea…
A Level Physics Paper 2 and Paper 3A Sessions
A-Level Physics Support Sessions for Paper 2 and Paper 3A are going ahead! Also, another calculator gets added to my collection. See the blog post for more!
Additional A-Level Physics Support
This is an April update, with lots going on! There is the possibility of additional A-Level Physics revision sessions, a new WhatsApp announcement channel, and more! Read the blog post for details.
A-Level Physics Lessons
A-Level physics lessons, changes to this week’s GCSE astronomy tuition session time, and TikTik “success”
Physics Glossary
It was suggested to me (but I cannot remember by whom) that it would be good if I produced an alphabetical list of the physics key words I have been redefining in my series of vertical short-form videos, “Are you ready to relearn English?” I thought it was an excellent idea, so here it is!
Should you study A-Level Physics?
A Level Physics students get lower grades than other subjects, which some interpret to mean that Physics is a more challenging course; however, a lower grade in Physics is worth more than a lower grade in other subjects. In this video I show statistics from the Institute of Physics that highlight how valuable A-Level Physics really is.
“Viral” Physics Question: Solved
I saw this question being asked on social media and decided to do a quick video demonstrating the solution, because it is a good context to help people understand the difference between Newton’s First Law and Newton’s Third Law. https://youtu.be/CbJf-wkyKXM Let me know if there are any other “viral” physics questions you want help with!ContinueContinue reading ““Viral” Physics Question: Solved”
