How we teach 4PH1
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 GCSE Physics syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (First assessed June 2019). We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.
How many lessons a week does my child need?
Most students do one or two 60-minute lessons a week. In the months before the exam, many add a second lesson for past-paper practice.
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.
