Distinction-Level Physical Science
Physical Science combines Chemistry and Physics into one subject, taught from Stage 8–9 through to IGCSE and O-Level. At AS & A-Level, Cambridge splits these into separate Chemistry and Physics subjects — we teach Chemistry separately from that point, so Physical Science tuition here covers the combined syllabus up to O-Level.
Classes stay small — never more than six students — so tutors can catch a misunderstood concept in either half of the subject before it becomes a pattern. Hands-on practical sessions at our Fourways facility complement live online lessons, giving students the real lab experience Paper 3, 5 and 6 are built around.
