Looking for National 5 or Higher Physics tutor in Glasgow?
There are some subjects that demonstrate more than your ability to take an exam and physics is one of them. A combination of academic prowess, problem solving skills and the ability to measure and determine mean that colleges, universities and employers are looking for the skills that a good grade in physics shows that you have. Designing electrical systems, designing cars, designing yachts, working out bullet trajectories, building power stations, firing sub atomic particles at each other and exploring space are all career branches that have physics at their root. Just as importantly many of the university courses that demand excellence and higher grades to get in to, along with the universities that only select the best students, list physics as one of their preferred subjects. It’s a huge subject area, covering everything from how to change the fuse in a plug, through to MRI machines saving lives in hospitals, and the science of explosions. Oh and how a loop the loop really works, even with a full sized car.
You might be tempted to get a friend of the family that took physics A-Level to help, or ring the number on the dog eared postcard pinned to the community notice board, or even sign up to one of the national or international tuition services that offer the chance for your child to talk to someone online, never mind that they might be based in India and never have looked at the British education system, or even more commonly be well versed in the English education system, but have little or no idea of the National 5, Highers and Advanced Highers. Here at Grade Booster Tutoring we know that you are paying for quality. Our tutors are all General Teaching Council Registered teachers practising their subjects in front of classes on a day to day basis. For your peace of mind we also ensure that all tutors have a valid up to date CRB/DBS check.
Twice a year students face the added pressure of exams, and it’s no wonder that year on year students report that they are feeling more over whelmed, less prepared and the knowledge of how key these one off exams are to their future is leading to students honestly feeling that they can’t cope. They have one chance to get it right, but they need to get it right more and more often. To give students the help they need when we need it we offer intensive revision sessions over the Easter and Christmas Holidays to work as standalone assistance, or to complement our weekly one to one dedicated tutoring. In physics students not only need to learn the one subject, but also the cross over areas from maths and often chemistry. We know that students need help, and we are here when they need it most.
Every year the media has been reporting that exams are getting easier and easier, but in 2014 the new National 5 was rolled out, followed by the new Highers and Advanced Highers. These exams are harder the new curricula more targeted and subject have been reintroduced that had been banished to higher levels. Now with Universities only accepting the results from the first set of exams without extraordinary circumstances students no longer have the chance to resit multiple times to get the results then need. They need to be taking exams head on, prepared with all the subject knowledge and techniques that the examiners are looking for.
