IB Physics tutor, online — taught to the exam, the IA and the 1–7 scale.

IB Physics is not hard because the physics is exotic. It is hard because three things have to land at once: the concepts, the command terms that tell you exactly what the examiner wants, and the Internal Assessment that quietly carries 20% of your grade. Most students are stronger than their predicted grade — they are losing marks they already understand.

IB Physics HL and SL — what actually differs

SL and HL share the same core; HL adds the Additional Higher Level (AHL) topics and a deeper, more quantitative Paper 3. The grade boundaries are different, the time pressure on HL Paper 1 is real, and the AHL material (fields, induction, quantum and nuclear depth) is where HL grades are won or lost. We map every lesson to your exact subject guide and to the assessment objectives — AO1 (recall), AO2 (apply), AO3 (analyse and evaluate) — because the exam scores those, not vibes.

The Internal Assessment — the most reliable marks in the course

The IA is the single best place to add points, because you control it. I help you pick a genuinely researchable question, design a method with a real independent variable, handle uncertainties and error propagation correctly (this is where IB IAs leak marks), and structure the analysis and evaluation against the rubric — personal engagement, exploration, analysis, evaluation, communication. I coach it; you write it. That line matters for academic honesty and it matters for your learning.

Paper technique, paper by paper

How the preparation runs — a system, not improvisation

Every student runs on a personal map built from a structured database of the IB syllabus: topic hierarchy, the real weight of each question type, official boundaries, and a prerequisite graph of what builds on what. You always know where you are and what comes next. Parents get a live progress tracker and a monthly written report with a grade forecast — see the four-step method.

• Diagnostic — a focused first session locates the gap between today and your target grade.
• Personal plan — a week-by-week roadmap to your exam session, weighted by how the IB actually scores.
• Lessons & practice — live 1:1, marked homework, an author's problem bank, tracked against past papers.
• Result — full Paper simulations, IA polish, and a clear monthly report to parents.

Who this is for

International-school families worldwide — including Russian-speaking families who have relocated and need IB Physics taught in English, Russian, or both. Strong students aiming higher can also take an olympiad track alongside the Diploma. If you are on the US track instead, see AP Physics tutoring.
