Maths Skills for A Level Physics On-Demand Course – Online

Course Information

Course Description

This on-demand course covers all the essential mathematical skills AQA and OCR Physics students need to succeed in their A Level exams. From algebraic manipulation to vectors and trigonometry, students will finish this course with the confidence to tackle even the most challenging physics problems.

With over 40% of marks in A Level Physics exams relying on maths, this course takes a skills-first approach to support students in building strong mathematical foundations. It provides clear, step-by-step methods to simplify challenging calculations, making it particularly valuable for students who have not taken Maths at A Level. By focusing on the principles behind each process, the course helps students reduce errors and gain a deeper understanding of key concepts.

The practical techniques taught in this course are designed to streamline problem-solving and can be applied across a range of topics. By the end, students will feel prepared, confident, and equipped to achieve their potential in physics.

Suitable for:

  • Year 12 Students
  • Year 13 Students
  • Students who aren't taking A Level Maths
  • Students looking to cover the mathematical knowledge and skills required for their course
  • Students looking to revise the non-mathematical sections of A Level Physics

If you need help deciding if you will benefit from this course you can contact us. Alternatively, you may prefer to book 1-2-1 tuition instead.
