How much does an A-Level Physics tutor cost?

A-Level Physics tutors in the UK typically charge between £38 and £68 per hour. Physics is a specialist subject with a limited pool of highly qualified tutors, and rates reflect this.

A-Level Physics demands fluency in both abstract physical concepts and the advanced mathematics that underpins them — vector mechanics, circular motion, gravitational and electromagnetic fields, quantum physics, nuclear decay. Students who are strong in Maths often find the conceptual side challenging, and vice versa. A tutor who bridges both is particularly valuable.

Each exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR A, OCR B) has different option modules and paper structures. For AQA students, the five option modules (Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering, Turning Points, Electronics) require specific knowledge — finding a tutor who knows your child's exact option is important.

Starting A-Level Physics tutoring early in Year 12, rather than waiting for mock failures in Year 13, is consistently the most effective approach. Year 12 content — mechanics, electricity, wave optics — underpins everything in Year 13. Gaps here compound quickly.
