Leonardo da Vinci

Who is it for?

This A2 physics revision course is suitable if you have studied, or are studying:

·        Unit 4: Physics on the move:

o       Further mechanics, electric and magnetic fields, particle physics

·        Unit 5: Physics from creation to collapse

o       Thermal energy, nuclear decay, oscillations, astrophysics, cosmology

What does the course cover?

We’ll help you to:

·        Do the best possible preparation for questions

·        Combine knowledge from several areas

·        Avoid common misunderstandings and misconceptions

What exam knowledge does it teach?

We’ll give you specific advice in key areas to help with your A2 physics course. The exact topics will be chosen according to your needs, but we often cover these areas:

·        Exploring the different styles of question you may be asked

·        Coaching in exam technique

·        Working through past papers and receiving useful, meaningful feedback

·        Addressing the topics which cause you most difficulty

·        Working through model solutions from past exam papers

·        Examining mark schemes to understand what examiners require

You will be given every opportunity to ask your A2 physics revision tutor questions, and we will review past papers and offer rapid feedback. We do not let students do past papers without providing guidance and feedback.

We also perform active learning, which may involve acting out events and encouraging visualisation of key concepts.
