About Vladimir Podlevskikh

Vladimir Podlevskikh is a physics and mathematics tutor with a degree from Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) and 23+ years of teaching. He has prepared 350+ students for IB, AP, SAT, A-Level, IGCSE and ЕГЭ, holds a perfect 200/200 on both US Praxis Physics and Maths exams, and is a member of NCTM and AAPT. Alongside his online practice he teaches school physics (grades 7–9, Russian national curriculum, in Russian) at Nyberg School in Yerevan, Armenia — so the methods are tested both one-to-one and in a live classroom. IB, AP, SAT, A-Level and IGCSE preparation is his one-to-one work, not a school post. He also built the school's own website and student portal, school.podlevskikh.com — a verifiable link between tutor and employer.

What is IB Physics HL? IB Physics Higher Level (HL) is a two-year Diploma Programme course of about 240 teaching hours, assessed on a 1–7 scale across Paper 1 (multiple choice), Paper 2 (data and extended response), Paper 3 (options and experimental work) plus the Internal Assessment. HL covers the same core topics as Standard Level but adds extra depth (AHL material) and more demanding problem solving — which is exactly where structured, exam-targeted preparation moves a grade.

The method

How my exam preparation works — a system, not just lessons

Every student runs on a personal preparation map built from a structured database of exam syllabi — topic hierarchies, the real weight of every question type, official grade boundaries and a prerequisite graph of what builds on what. You always know where you are and what comes next.

01

Diagnostic

A focused first session locates the exact gaps between the current level and the target grade.

02

Personal plan

A week-by-week roadmap to your exam date — which topics, in what order, and why, weighted by how the exam actually scores them.

03

Lessons & practice

Live 1:1 lessons, marked homework and an author's problem bank. Progress tracked topic-by-topic against past papers.

04

Result

Full exam simulations and final polish. Parents receive a clear monthly report: what's mastered, the forecast, what's next.

📊

Parents see the system too: a live progress tracker and a monthly written report — mastered topics, today's grade forecast and the focus for the next month. No guesswork.

FAQ

Questions families ask

Which exams and boards do you cover? +
IB Physics (HL/SL), AP Physics (1, 2, C), SAT Maths, A-Level and Cambridge IGCSE (Physics 0625, Maths 0580), plus Edexcel, AQA and OCR. I teach these now and prepare to the exact specification and mark scheme.
How much does IB Physics tutoring cost? +
Online IB Physics HL tutoring costs $390/month on the Standard plan (one 1:1 lesson per week) or $680/month on the Intensive plan (two lessons per week, about $85/session). A one-off trial session is $90 for 60 minutes, and a self-paced Self-Study Plan starts at $49. Premium IB HL / Olympiad coaching is $120–135/hour. The exact plan and price are set on the free consultation, once we know the level, the gap and the timeline.
What results do your students achieve with IB Physics and Maths tutoring? +
Students typically add double-digit points on state exams and the SAT. For example: SAT 1620 → 2060 in two months, with a perfect 800/800 in both Math II and Physics on the first attempt; school physics 82 → 96 on the state exam; and Maths from Level C to Level A in one year. Across the practice, the rating is 4.88★ from 127 verified reviews, and signed reference letters are available on request with verification contacts.
How long does it take to improve an IB Physics grade by one band? +
Most students who follow the weekly plan move at least one band in roughly 8–12 weeks; going from a 3 to a 5 within one term is realistic with consistent work on the Internal Assessment and Paper 2 technique. The pace depends on the starting level and the weeks left before the exam — which is why every plan is built backwards from the exam date.
Can you teach physics and maths in Russian? +
Yes. Lessons run in fluent English for international-school students, or bilingual English/Russian when that helps — useful for Russian-speaking families abroad whose children sit IB, AP, SAT, A-Level or ЕГЭ.
How are lessons delivered? +
Online 1:1 over Zoom with a shared interactive whiteboard. Based in Yerevan (GMT+4), where I also teach school physics at Nyberg School — convenient for families in the Gulf, Europe, the UK and Asia. Lessons are in English (or bilingual English/Russian if helpful).
What makes your preparation different? +
It runs on a structured system, not improvisation: built on 23 verified exam structures across IB, AP, SAT, A-Level and IGCSE, with the real weight of every question type, a week-by-week plan to the exam date, a live progress tracker, and a monthly written report to parents with a grade forecast. The forecast assumes the plan is followed — it's a map, not a promise.
How do payments work? +
In USD or EUR via Payoneer or a secure card payment link. We confirm the method on the consultation before the first lesson.
What happens on the free consultation? +
A 20-minute call to understand the goal, the current level and the timeline. If it's a fit, I propose a plan and a package; if not, I'll point you in the right direction. No obligation.
Do you only take exam students? +
Exam preparation is the focus, but I also coach strong students aiming at olympiads and competitive university entrance.
