# Online IB Physics tutoring for SL and HL

## Your tutor took IB Physics and achieved a top grade.

IBPapa offers 1-to-1 online IB Physics tutoring at Standard Level and Higher Level for the current course, first assessed in May 2025. The syllabus has five themes: space, time and motion; the particulate nature of matter; wave behaviour; fields; and nuclear and quantum physics. Its topics run from kinematics and rigid body mechanics to induction, quantum physics, and fusion and stars.

Your grade comes from three components. Paper 1 (36%) combines multiple-choice questions in Paper 1A (25 at SL, 40 at HL) with data-based questions in Paper 1B, taken together in one sitting. Paper 2 (44%) is short-answer and extended-response questions. The scientific investigation, your IA, is worth 20%. Paper 1 lasts 1 hour 30 minutes at SL and 2 hours at HL; Paper 2 lasts 1 hour 30 minutes at SL and 2 hours 30 minutes at HL. You can use a calculator and the Physics data booklet in both papers.

Every IBPapa session is 1-to-1, online and recorded, so you can rewatch it before your exams. You set the focus: a topic you are stuck on, practice for one specific paper, or understanding how your IA is marked.

### **What our students say**

*"**A** **\[name initialised for tutor's privacy\]** is a great tutor! After multiple tutors for IB chemistry I was on the verge of giving up my search for a tutor. I found **A** as a tutor because a friend of mine had him as his math and biology tutor. He is fun to talk to and is really relatable. In **A’s** classes, I not only learnt to like chemistry, but I actively noticed how I got better, more motivated and more confident in chemistry. He is perfectly familiar with the IB and helped me to get my IB SL chemistry grade from a 3 to a 6 in my finals!!"*

FAQ

## IB Physics tutoring FAQs

### Which IB Physics syllabus do you teach?

IBPapa tutors teach the current IB Physics course, first assessed in May 2025, at SL and HL. It is organised into five themes, A to E, from space, time and motion to nuclear and quantum physics.

### How is IB Physics assessed?

Paper 1 is worth 36% and Paper 2 is worth 44%; the IA is worth 20%. At SL, both papers last 1 hour 30 minutes. At HL, Paper 1 lasts 2 hours and Paper 2 lasts 2 hours 30 minutes. Calculators and the Physics data booklet are allowed in both papers.

### How is the IB Physics IA marked?

The IA is a scientific investigation worth 20% of the final grade at both SL and HL, with 10 recommended hours. It is a written report of up to 3,000 words, marked out of 24: research design, data analysis, conclusion and evaluation are each worth 6 marks. An IBPapa tutor can explain these criteria and help you build the skills behind them, but IB rules require the investigation to be your own work.

### Who are the IB Physics tutors?

Each IBPapa Physics tutor took IB Physics themselves and achieved a top grade in it. IBPapa tutors study at top universities around the world.

### How much does IB Physics tutoring cost?

A single one-hour session costs £70. Packs cost £200 for 3 hours, £305 for 5 hours and £1,200 for 20 hours. The 3-hour and 5-hour packs include feedback and progress updates for parents, and your first demo session is free.
