Welcome from The Physics Coach

The Physics Coach offers small group, interactive, online tutoring services in Biology, Chemistry, Maths and of course Physics at Nat 5 and Higher levels.

Our 75 minute interactive online classes, which have been proven to work very effectively, are delivered weekly via zoom with a maximum of 10 students attending each session to ensure that all students have ample opportunity to get the support they need, while also benefiting from the questions asked by their peers. Existing users can login to the TutorBird Parent / Student Portal here.

Our fully qualified and experienced teachers, all of whom have exceptional subject knowledge and have experience of marking for Qualifications Scotland (formerly the Scottish Qualifications Authority), follow a set curriculum for each subject that is published in advance and our ‘cameras on’ approach and interactive techniques ensure full engagement with each pupil in the session.

Recommending the physics coach

Our daughter has attended group tutorials in biology, chemistry and physics, over the last two years. She has found the tutorials, with different teachers, all to be a good mix of teaching and active participation. (Her chemistry tutor’s positive encouragement is lovely.) She feels they have helped to consolidate her learning and they have been invaluable when she has missed parts of the curriculum due to illness. We have been impressed at the attention to her individual needs, although they’re small group tutorials. We have also appreciated the flexibility and offer of joining additional tutorials, in the run up to exams.

What an amazing service!

What an amazing service David and his team provide. My son chose Physics at National 5 and, not long afterwards, admitted that he might have made the wrong subject choice. Unfortunately, his prelim results reflected this, suggesting he was likely to receive no award. Both my son and I were panicked. I contacted The Physics Coach and David got back to us straight away. We quickly arranged weekly physics tutoring, which I consider to be very reasonably priced. The difference these sessions have made is remarkable. My son’s understanding of the subject and, just as importantly, his confidence have improved enormously. He is now on track to achieve at least a pass. I can’t thank David and the team enough. I would highly recommend them to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again, although I’m fairly certain my son won’t be choosing Higher Physics!

Excellent tutoring

We’ve been extremely grateful for all the support our son received this year from David and the team at The Physics Coach during his Higher Chemistry studies. The sessions were really well organised and gave him a great structure for studying. More importantly, they helped build his confidence going into the exam. He came out of the exam feeling positive, which says a lot. The tutors were supportive, encouraging, and always approachable, and we really appreciated all the help they gave him. We would definitely recommend The Physics Coach to other students preparing for exams.
