Going from struggling to achieving
My daughter was struggling with her Nat 5 Maths, Chemistry and Biology subjects. The lessons provided some great foundations about how to apply her learning to exam questions. The lessons required her to interact and work through examples, which also helped to study the areas she needed more support with.

Exam Success for 2025
After a disappointing result in the Higher prelims we reached out to Physics Coach. At the time, it was difficult to find the right one-to-one tutor, and time was ticking. My child was predicted a C in Higher Human Biology - but just last week, she received an A. Her teacher even confirmed it was a high A. I was initially sceptical about using Physics Coach, assuming one-to-one tutoring would be more effective. But we simply couldn’t have asked for a better outome than what we got with Physics Coach. From the moment my child joined the small online class, my child was fully engaged. There were no distractions, and all the students were immersed and eager to learn. The format worked perfectly for us. I highly recommend Physics Coach and will absolutely use them again.
Higher Physics
Supported my son in higher physics. He went from a fail the previous year to an A. Consistent classes, responsive team, affordable. Great experience and would reccomend

I have nothing but excellent things to say about the Physics Coach.
I have nothing but excellent things to say about the Physics Coach. I used This company for 2 years to help my son with his National 5 and Higher Physics exams. From day one I was impressed with how efficient and professional the company is. Any enquires were always answered so promptly in a helpful friendly manner. My son was struggling with Physics and was a subject he wanted to drop, with the help from the Physics Coach and his own hard work at school he managed to achieve a National 5 A in Physics and ready to sit his Higher Physics. My son found the small groups really beneficial to him as it gave him another opportunity to go over topics / questions that he was unsure about or struggling with. I would like to say a massive thank you to David and staff at the Physics Coach and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone, I will also use again in future for my daughter when the time comes.

Easter school and beyond
I signed my daughter up for several classes during the Easter School sessions. I was delighted that she was able to join these sessions. She attended N5 Maths, Applications of Maths, Chemistry and Physics. My daughter had previously tried online tutoring elsewhere and it wasn’t a positive experience. The difference following a tutoring session with The Physics Coach was like night and day. She found the sessions engaging. The teachers were all excellent and she enjoyed participating in the lessons. At the end of the Easter School, my daughter asked me if she could continue on with the tutoring. I think that this speaks for itself as to how useful and engaging the sessions are. Again, as testament to the subject teachers, my daughter had already asked me to book her in for two higher courses tutoring sessions when they start after summer. The booking process for Easter school and then for regular weekly sessions until the exams was straightforward. Invoice etc all clear. I liked the text reminder as well as the email about sessions. Communication has been prompt and always answered any queries I had.

Experienced & Engaging School Teachers
Our tutors are fully qualified, GTCS-registered, and PVG-checked teachers, who are selected based on the results they help their students get at school. From prelims to final exams, our teachers are best in class.
When I first started tutoring, I only taught Physics – which is why we’re called the Physics Coach! Now, we offer Chemistry, Maths and Biology too.
FAQs
We only offer group tutoring. Group sessions keep students engaged, allow them to learn from peers, and mirror the way they’re taught in school – all at a more affordable price.
In my experience as a teacher, group learning works best. It encourages collaboration, improves motivation, and builds confidence through discussion. Many students thrive more in this format than in traditional 1-to-1 private tutoring.
This allows enough time to cover a topic in depth, answer questions, and consolidate learning — all in a single
weekly session per subject.
No. While we started as “The Physics Coach” only offering Physics tutoring, we now offer National 5 and Higher
Maths, Biology, and Chemistry too.
Most students enjoy sessions once they meet their tutor, but if it’s not the right fit you can cancel anytime – no
long-term contracts.
