Physics A Level Edexcel online classes

Expert online Physics tuition for Pearson Edexcel A Level — covering every topic from the YPH11 syllabus with exam-focused teaching.

How we teach Physics

Edexcel’s International A Level Physics (YPH11) breaks the subject into six manageable units across IAS and IA2, with Units 3 and 6 assessing practical skills through a written exam — a structure that lets students bank progress as they go. Our course is built to make every unit count.

The IAS units establish mechanics, materials, waves and electricity; the IA2 units move into fields, particle physics and the rest of the advanced content. The two practical-skills papers are taught as a discipline in their own right — designing investigations, handling data and evaluating method — because that is precisely how Edexcel examines them. Throughout, problem-solving and confident use of equations are the through-line.

Classes are live and small, with detailed feedback on the quantitative, multi-step problems that define A Level physics.

Frequently asked questions

Are there lab practicals in Edexcel IAL Physics?

No separate lab exam — practical skills are assessed in written Units 3 and 6. That structure suits online students and private candidates particularly well: every mark in the qualification is earned on paper, and the practical-skills question styles are highly trainable from past papers.

Can individual units be retaken?

Yes — the IAL is modular. A single weak unit can be re-sat in a later series without redoing the whole qualification, and the better result counts. It is the strongest safety net any board offers, and it changes retake decisions completely.

How is the IAL split across the two years?

Six units: 1 to 3 form the AS year, 4 to 6 the A2 year, with the two practical-skills units examined in writing. AS banks half the qualification, which spreads pressure and gives universities an early, concrete signal. We plan unit entries with each family.
