IB Physics SL Tutor Online — Current Syllabus, with a Documented Final 7

IB programmes start at €400 a month; the exact arrangement depends on where you are, how far the exams are, and what the diagnosis shows, and it is set out before you commit to anything. That price is for booking directly with me; tutoring platforms that list me add their own commission. The strategy call is free, the first month is four one-hour sessions, and there is no minimum term after it.

Yes — and the differences matter. The current syllabus is organised into five themes (A through E), Paper 1 now has two parts (1A multiple choice and 1B data-based questions), and the old options papers are gone: there is no Paper 3 at either level. If your school materials still reference the old structure, we will work from the current guide. I have taught it from the first cohort: Blake Eustaquio sat those first May exams in 2025 and finished with a 7.

Yes, within the IB's academic honesty rules. The scientific investigation is worth 20% of your grade, capped at 3,000 words, and marked out of 24 on four criteria worth 6 marks each: research design, data analysis, conclusion and evaluation. It can be run collaboratively in groups of up to three, but every student needs their own research question and writes their own report. Most lost marks come from weak methodology and shallow data analysis. I help you sharpen the research question, design a sound method, and analyse and evaluate your own data properly. The investigation remains yours. Starting points by theme are in 15 IB Physics IA ideas. For the IB's actual guidance on how much data is enough — not the invented formulas that circulate online — see the IB Physics IA guide.

Yes, and this is common at SL. Rearranging equations, trigonometry in fields and waves, graph interpretation, and uncertainty calculations are maths problems wearing a physics costume. I tutor IB Maths alongside Physics, so we address the mathematics inside the physics questions directly, as integrated practice rather than two separate subjects. How uncertainties are calculated and propagated is set out in uncertainties in IB Physics.

Earlier than feels necessary. September or October of the final year gives us time to diagnose properly, build the weekly rhythm, and cover the IA before mocks. Starting in March still works, but the focus narrows to exam technique and the highest-yield gaps. Whatever the month, the strategy call is the honest place to assess what is realistic.

It has happened, and it is documented: Blake Eustaquio went from a 3 on his first Diploma report card to a final Grade 7 in May 2025, working with me online every week from September 2023 — two years, not a last-minute push. The weekly rhythm did the work: problems from school, the syllabus ahead, then practice questions on whatever he had got wrong. The IB Physics SL final result is documented in full.

My teaching practice has been online since 2020; a Google review dated 12 July 2020 already describes teaching with a touch tablet and screen-shared online lessons. My IB teaching began in April 2016, and the dated record on my About page includes IB Physics HL work in Milan from March 2018. The documented IB Physics SL case ran online from September 2023 to May 2025.

Yes, subject to a suitable recurring slot. I’m based in Italy and teach online in English or Spanish; the documented SL case was taught from Italy to a student in Panama. When you request a strategy call, share the student’s country, time zone, school timetable and exam session, so we can confirm the schedule works before starting.

Request a strategy call through the site. If the time and terms fit, you choose a slot straight away. The call is free — 15 minutes with a parent, then 30 with the student on a topic they choose, and you see how I work before anyone commits. If the fit looks right, the first month is four one-hour sessions, with no minimum term after it. Nobody pays anything and nobody commits to anything before the call has happened.
