Maths and physics tutors

If you are struggling with maths and physics in school, at university, at work or just want to improve, a maths and physics tutor can help you achieve your goal. A tutor is particularly helpful if you find yourself struggling to keep up with the pace of group classes and need more personalised one on one support. 

Here are some benefits of having a maths and physics tutor:

• One on one tuition: One of the main benefits of private tuition is that the tutor will be entirely focused on you and your progress. Since the private tutor does not have to cater to other students, you set the pace of the class, which means that you can focus on topics that you struggle with or find difficult. This way you will be able to learn better and improve faster. At school, in a tuition centre or in group classes it is easy to get left behind, with private tuition, the tutor will not move on until you have fully understood the topic.
• Personalised classes: Similarly to the previous point, private tuition allows you to control the topics, focus and goal of the classes. If you have a specific goal in mind, for example, passing GCSE maths and physics, then you can tell your tutor and they will come up with lesson plans that are designed with your goal in mind. This way you will be able to achieve your goal quickly and efficiently without having to waste time and money on things that do not interest you.
• Method of your choice: Tutors tend to be very flexible, much more so than tuition centres and schools. You can decide whether you want the class in person or online as well as how long you want the classes to be and when you want them. In school or a tuition centre the times, places and modes of the classes are usually already predetermined.
• Stay motivated: It’s much easier to fall in love with a subject and stay motivated when you have a maths and physics tutor that is passionate about the subject and is good at teaching. Having the full attention and support of an expert can be extremely motivating for students. 
• Learn to study: If you are a student at school or university, private tuition can be extremely beneficial as it allows you to practise studying effectively. With the help of your maths and physics tutor, you will be able to understand how you learn best and develop a study technique accordingly.

What should I look for in a maths and physics tutor?

When finding tutors it is important to have a criteria in mind to help you identify a good maths and physics tutor. You should use all the resources available on FindTutors to make your choice: read the tutor’s advert and profile, check the price of the lessons and filter by online or in-person lessons. You can also message the tutor or find a tutor that offers the first lesson for free to try their teaching style. 

Here are some things to look for when assessing a tutor’s ability:

• Experience: Make sure you choose a tutor with experience. More experienced tutors tend to have developed efficient tutoring strategies and techniques. They have also dealt with a lot of different kinds of students, so they are more likely to be able to adapt to your needs.
• Qualifications: Likewise, make sure your tutor is an expert in what they teach. If they are a physics tutor, make sure they have a degree or similar qualification in physics, as well as a teaching qualification. 
• Good reviews: On FindTutors, you can read reviews from tutors’ previous students in order to make an informed decision and make sure the tutor is worth your time and money. 
• Availability: You can find a tutor’s availability on their profile to make sure that it fits in with your schedule. This is especially important if you are planning on travelling to the lesson as you will have to make sure you have time to commute to and from the location of your lesson.
• Meets your needs: Lastly, it is essential that you find someone that specialises and has experience in what you are looking for: whether it’s A Level Maths, undergraduate physics or something else. If you have a trial lesson, make sure you tell the tutor what you aim to achieve through private tuition.

Is it better to study maths and physics together?

Studying maths and physics together has its advantages and can be highly beneficial for students. Both subjects are interconnected and have a strong foundation in mathematical principles. Understanding the concepts of physics becomes easier when one has a solid grasp of mathematical concepts. Similarly, applying mathematical formulas and equations in real-life situations becomes more meaningful and practical when studying physics alongside maths. Therefore, taking maths tutoring and physics classes simultaneously can enhance the learning experience and improve overall understanding of both subjects.
