What We Cover in AS Level Physics
Our Physics tuition is fully aligned with the National Curriculum and supports students in mastering key topics tested at the AS Level.
-
Measurements and Uncertainty
Students learn how to handle significant figures, prefixes, and uncertainties in measurements — essential for lab-based questions and scientific reporting.
-
Mechanics
We cover motion, forces, Newton’s laws, kinematics, dynamics, momentum, and energy — building a strong base for solving real-world physics problems.
-
Materials
Topics include density, stress-strain relationships, elasticity, Hooke’s Law, and Young’s modulus — often taught with real-world comparisons for better understanding.
-
Electricity
Tutors explain electric current, potential difference, resistance, and circuits, helping students master Ohm’s Law, I–V characteristics, and electrical energy calculations.
-
Waves
Our sessions explore transverse and longitudinal waves, wave speed, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference — as well as applications like sound and light.
-
Quantum and Particle Physics
We introduce students to the photoelectric effect, wave-particle duality, and fundamental particles — laying the groundwork for more advanced study at A Level.
-
Required Practicals
We support students in understanding practical investigations, designing experiments, and analysing results — building exam confidence and lab readiness.
Building Confidence in AS Physics
AS Physics can feel intimidating due to its reliance on mathematics, abstract models, and layered concepts. Many students lose confidence when they can’t connect theory to practice — or when they feel overwhelmed by long calculation-based questions.
At Jaya’s Academy, we focus on clarity, consistency, and step-by-step support. Our tutors use real-life examples, animations, and guided problem-solving to make even the most difficult topics approachable.
With regular practice, personalised feedback, and focused exam preparation, students gradually build the confidence and skill set they need to excel.
Set Your Child Up for Success
AS Level Physics is a gateway to careers in engineering, technology, research, space science, and more. A strong foundation in Year 12 lays the groundwork for top A-Level performance and university entrance.
At Jaya’s Academy, our online Physics tuition helps students go from confusion to confidence, from average grades to outstanding performance.
