Frequently Asked Questions
The frequency of attending JC Physics tuition largely depends on your individual needs, schedule and academic goals. If you are struggling with H1 or H2 Physics and need additional help, attending tuition on a more regular basis may be beneficial. This will allow you to have more time and attention to work through challenging concepts, practice problem-solving techniques, and receive feedback from your tutor. On the other hand, if you are already performing well in the subject, attending tuition less frequently, may be sufficient to maintain your level of understanding and preparation for examinations as a supplement to your regular studies. Ultimately, it is important to find a balance that works best for you, you can work with your tutor to determine what frequency of sessions will be most beneficial for you.
H1 Physics is a less advanced course compared to H2 Physics, with a lighter workload and less emphasis on higher-level concepts. In addition, H1 Physics covers a smaller range of topics, with fewer practical components compared to H2 Physics, and the depth of coverage is not as extensive.
We take a focused approach to help students excel in their A-Level Physics exams:
Syllabus-Aligned Curriculum: Our lessons cover the entire A-Level syllabus systematically, building a solid foundation and progressing to advanced topics.
Practice with Past-Year Papers: Students regularly work on past exam questions to familiarize themselves with the format and improve time management and accuracy.
Exam Techniques: We teach critical thinking and problem-solving strategies, ensuring students understand key concepts and can apply them effectively in exams.
Revision and Drills: Intensive revision sessions focus on frequently tested topics, while topical drills reinforce understanding and help avoid common mistakes.
Personalized Feedback: Continuous assessments and mock exams allow us to track progress and provide targeted feedback to address individual weaknesses.
Time Management and Confidence Building: We equip students with time management skills and stress-relief techniques to approach the exam with confidence and calm.
