How we teach YPH11
Concepts are explained with clear diagrams first, then the calculations, then the exact wording the mark scheme accepts.
Practical and data-handling questions are practised every week, because they carry marks that many students drop.
Long-answer questions are planned in class so your child writes complete, mark-earning explanations.
Where students usually lose marks
- Calculations with units and significant figures
- Practical and experimental skills questions
- Explaining in precise key terms
- Linking ideas across topics
“The paper reviews showed exactly where marks were being lost in O Level Maths and Chemistry, and what to do about it. We had a great experience with Apex Academic.”

Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current Pearson Edexcel International A Level Physics syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (First taught September 2018). We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.
Which route or tier should my child take?
The options are: IAS (first half) on its own, or the full International A Level. After the free demo we look at your child’s work and the target grade, and suggest the right one with the school.
Can you help close to the exam?
Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
