Outcomes: What You’ll Be Able to Do in Physics

Physics tutoring at MPB is outcome-oriented at every level. The capabilities you build depend on your current stage — but across all levels, the aim is the same: genuine understanding that holds up under exam pressure and real-world application.

Solve problems from first principles — whether that means a Grade 10 kinematics question, a calculus-based mechanics problem at undergraduate level, or a graduate-level statistical mechanics derivation. Analyze physical systems by correctly identifying the relevant laws, constraints, and boundary conditions before reaching for an equation. Model real-world phenomena mathematically — building comfort with the translation between physical intuition and formal representation. Explain your reasoning in written form — a skill that matters in exams, lab reports, and research papers alike. Apply foundational principles across new contexts — the mark of a student who has genuinely understood Physics, not just practised it. Present solutions, derivations, and experimental findings with the clarity and rigour expected at your level.

How My Physics Buddy Tutors Help You with Physics (The Learning Loop)

Diagnose: Every new student begins with a diagnostic conversation. The tutor asks you to attempt a few representative problems and talk through your approach. At school level, this might be a force diagram or an energy conservation problem. At graduate level, it might be a derivation. The goal is to pinpoint whether gaps are conceptual, mathematical, or related to exam technique.

Explain: The tutor builds understanding from the ground up where needed, or fills specific gaps for more advanced students. Explanations are tailored to your level — a Grade 11 student and an MSc student need very different language for the same underlying principle. The tutor does not just re-explain a textbook; they show you how to think about the problem.

Practice: You attempt problems live, with the tutor observing. This is the most important step. In Physics, the process of attempting a problem — not just reviewing a solution — is what builds the skill. The tutor lets you work through your reasoning before intervening.

Feedback: Feedback is specific and immediate. Not “that is wrong” but “you applied Newton’s second law in the wrong direction because you did not define your coordinate system first.” At higher levels, feedback covers proof structure, mathematical rigour, and physical interpretation.

Retest/Reinforce: The same concept returns in a new context in the next session. Physics understanding is cumulative — energy conservation at school level reappears as Lagrangian mechanics at university. Tutors track what has been covered and deliberately revisit it in harder forms.

Plan: After each session, the tutor updates your learning plan. Weak areas get more time. Stronger areas are pushed to harder problem types. No session repeats material unnecessarily.

Accountability: Between sessions, the tutor may set specific practice questions, suggest a textbook section to review, or ask you to draft a section of a lab report. This is not busywork — it is the mechanism that makes tutoring compound over time.

All sessions run via Google Meet with a digital pen-pad or iPad+Pencil setup, so every equation, diagram, and derivation is visible in real time. Before your first session, share your current syllabus or course outline, any topics you already know are weak, upcoming exam or submission dates, and your level (school, undergraduate, postgraduate). The tutor will use this to shape the diagnostic and the first live teaching block.

Tutor Match Criteria (How We Pick Your Tutor)

Physics is not one subject — it is dozens of distinct disciplines at different levels. Matching you to the right tutor requires more than finding someone with a Physics degree.

Level and syllabus fit: A tutor supporting a GCSE student needs fluency in the specific board’s question style. A tutor supporting a Masters student in condensed matter needs specialist depth. MPB matches by level and subject area, not just by “Physics” broadly.

Topic strengths and tools: Tutors are assessed on their specific topic competencies before being listed. They use Google Meet with digital pen-pad or iPad+Pencil so all working is visible, legible, and can be referred back to during the session.

Time zone and availability: MPB serves students across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Gulf. Sessions are scheduled to fit your local time. Early morning, evening, and weekend slots are available.

Learning style and pace: A student who needs slow, conceptual scaffolding gets that. A student who needs fast, exam-focused drilling gets that instead. The tutor adapts — not the student.

Language and communication style: Tutors communicate clearly in English. Students who need simpler phrasing, more visual explanations, or a particular teaching style can note this at the matching stage.

Goals: Grade improvement, exam preparation, concept clarity, lab report guidance, thesis support, research problem solving — the tutor shapes each session to the goal that matters most to you right now.

Urgency and timeline: Exam in ten days or building understanding over a full academic year — the tutor builds a plan that matches the time available and the depth needed.

Study Plans (Pick One That Matches Your Goal)

MPB offers three broad plan types: a catch-up plan (typically 1–2 weeks) for students who are behind on specific topics or units, an exam prep plan (typically 4–8 weeks) for structured pre-exam coverage of all assessed material, and a weekly support plan for consistent help throughout a school year, semester, or research period. After the first diagnostic session, your tutor builds the specific session-by-session plan based on your actual gaps, your timeline, and how much time you can commit each week.

Pricing Guide

Physics tutoring at MPB starts at USD 20 per hour and typically ranges to USD 40 per hour for standard school and early undergraduate sessions. Advanced undergraduate, Masters, and PhD-level tutoring — which requires specialist expertise — can go up to USD 100 per hour depending on topic complexity and tutor profile.

Pricing is influenced by the level and complexity of the subject matter, tutor experience and availability, the urgency of your timeline, and whether your sessions involve standard coursework or highly specialised research-area topics. Every quote is confirmed before any session begins — no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Physics hard?

Physics is considered challenging because it demands both mathematical fluency and physical intuition at the same time. Most students struggle not because they lack ability but because a concept was not explained in a way that connected to how they think. 1:1 tutoring specifically addresses that gap — the explanation is shaped to you, not to a class of thirty.

How many sessions are needed?

It depends entirely on your level, your goals, and your current state. A Grade 11 student catching up on two units before an exam might need 6–10 sessions. An undergraduate working through a full semester of electrodynamics might need 20–30 sessions over several months. After the diagnostic, your tutor will give a practical, honest estimate based on what they see.

Can MPB help with Physics homework, assignments, and lab reports?

Yes — as guidance and explanation. Tutors work through the concepts behind your assignment, show similar example problems, and give feedback on your attempts and drafts. Lab report guidance covers structure, data analysis approach, and error discussion. The work you submit is always your own. MPB does not complete or write work for students. Academic integrity is fundamental to how MPB operates and is consistent with the policies of every school, university, and examination body we support.

Will the tutor’s content match my exact syllabus?

Tutors align to your specific course materials — your textbook, your board’s specification, or your university course outline. Share these at the start and the tutor will work from them directly. Exact exam questions are not known in advance, but thorough understanding of the full syllabus is what the sessions build toward.

What happens in the first session?

The first session begins with a short diagnostic — a few problems and a conversation about what feels clear and what does not. The tutor then teaches a focused concept live, so the session is immediately useful, not just an intake form. Before the session, share your syllabus, your known weak areas, and any upcoming deadlines or exam dates.

Is online Physics tutoring as effective as in-person?

For Physics, online tutoring via Google Meet with a digital pen-pad or iPad+Pencil is fully effective. Every diagram, free body diagram, derivation, and circuit sketch can be drawn in real time. Students in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Gulf consistently find live online sessions as productive as in-person ones — with the additional convenience of no commute and full scheduling flexibility across time zones.

Can MPB support PhD students and research-level Physics?

Yes. MPB works with PhD students on conceptual clarity, qualifying exam preparation, and structured problem-solving in specialist areas. Tutors at this level do not replace a research supervisor — they complement supervision by providing a space to work through the Physics without the pressure of a formal meeting. Thesis and dissertation structure guidance is also available at a high level.

What tools and equipment do tutors use?

Sessions run via Google Meet. Tutors use a digital pen-pad or iPad with Apple Pencil to write equations and draw diagrams in real time on a shared digital whiteboard or document. You need only a browser and a stable internet connection. No special software is required on your end.

Does MPB cover Physics subjects beyond the core course?

Yes. MPB has dedicated pages for a wide range of specialised Physics topics. Students in advanced programmes may also find support through pages like Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and General Relativity. For school-level students working toward specific exams, see the dedicated exam pages below.

Can a tutor help with Physics thesis or dissertation work at Masters or PhD level?

Yes — at a guidance level. Tutors can help you work through the Physics concepts underpinning your research, discuss problem-solving approaches, and give feedback on how you are structuring derivations or explanations in your writing. They do not write your thesis or research for you. The goal is to strengthen your own understanding so that your written work reflects it.

Trust & Quality at My Physics Buddy

How We Select Tutors

Every MPB tutor undergoes a subject-specific vetting process that goes beyond credential checking. Tutors complete a practical demonstration of their teaching ability in their declared subject area and level before being listed. They are assessed on conceptual depth, clarity of explanation, and familiarity with the exam styles or course formats they claim to cover. Ongoing student feedback after sessions feeds into tutor quality reviews — tutors with consistently poor feedback are reviewed and re-assessed before being recommended again.

Academic Integrity

MPB operates on one clear principle: we guide, you submit your own work. This applies whether you are a Grade 10 student asking for help with a homework problem, an undergraduate working through a lab report, or a Masters student drafting a section of a thesis. Tutors explain the relevant concepts, demonstrate similar examples, and give feedback on your drafts and attempts. They do not write your assignments, complete your homework, or produce your work for submission. This approach is consistent with the academic integrity standards of every school, university, and examination body across our primary regions — US, UK, Canada, Australia, and the Gulf. According to Times Higher Education, physics educators consistently emphasise that genuine understanding — not answer delivery — is what distinguishes effective academic support from academic misconduct.

Why Physics-Focused Matters

MPB is not a generalist tutoring marketplace. It is a Physics-first platform. According to the Institute of Physics, students learning Physics benefit significantly from instructors who understand not just the content but the specific reasoning patterns and problem structures the discipline demands. Every tutor on MPB is assessed specifically in Physics and related quantitative subjects — not hired as a generalist.

Research on personalised learning outcomes in STEM — including findings summarised by the National Center for Education Statistics — consistently shows that students who receive targeted individual instruction outperform those relying on group instruction alone, particularly in subjects requiring both mathematical and conceptual fluency, such as Physics.

About My Physics Buddy
