Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625
Online Tuition
Three papers - two theory and one practical - with the practical worth a fifth of the grade. We tutor 0625 to the exact tier your child sits, build the Extended depth where the top grades live, and coach the experimental skills too many students never practise.
How we teach Cambridge IGCSE Physics at Tuition Highway
A simple four-step approach designed to build confidence, close gaps and improve exam performance.
Confirm the route
We confirm the syllabus code, exam series and paper route for 0625. Everything else depends on this.
Find the gaps
A diagnostic against the syllabus topics tells us what's secure and what isn't, so we teach the gaps rather than the whole book.
Teach weekly, one to one
The same tutor teaches each week around school. Concepts build step by step, with the school's pace kept in view.
Practise like the exam
Past-paper questions begin early, followed by full timed papers marked against the published mark scheme.
Matched with a tutor who knows this syllabus
Expert, vetted Cambridge IGCSE Physics tutors who have taught the 0625 specification. Past-paper work is reviewed against published mark schemes, so your child can see where marks are awarded and where they are being lost. UK-qualified teachers are available on request as a premium option.
Taught 0625
Not "cambridge igcse physics in general" - this syllabus, this tier and these papers.
Reviews work against the mark scheme
Your child learns where the marks actually are, not where they feel they should be.
Built for online teaching
Shared whiteboard, worked solutions and lesson materials saved to review after the session.
Consistent across the term
The same tutor every week - and if that changes, we tell you first.
How Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 is assessed
Cambridge IGCSE Physics is tiered and every candidate sits three papers: a multiple-choice paper, a theory paper and one practical paper. Core candidates take Papers 1, 3 and 5 or 6; Extended candidates take Papers 2, 4 and 5 or 6.

Questions parents ask about Cambridge IGCSE Physics
How is Cambridge IGCSE Physics assessed?+-
Three papers. Core candidates take Paper 1 (multiple choice), Paper 3 (theory) and a practical paper; Extended candidates take Paper 2, Paper 4 and a practical paper. The practical is Paper 5 or Paper 6.
What's the difference between Core and Extended?+-
Core covers the foundational content and is graded C to G; Extended adds supplement content and is graded A* to G. The tier is chosen at entry.
Is there a practical exam?+-
Yes. Every candidate takes one practical paper worth 20%: either a hands-on Practical Test or a written Alternative to Practical. Both test the same experimental skills.
What grades are available?+-
Up to C on the Core tier, and up to A* on the Extended tier.
Which topics are covered?+-
Six broad areas: motion, forces and energy; thermal physics; waves; electricity and magnetism; nuclear physics; and space physics.
When are the exams?+-
In the June and November series, with an additional March series in India.
How do you decide which tier my child should take?+-
The free demo maps your child against both tiers and shows which gives the best combination of achievable grade and manageable demand.
What if the tutor isn't the right fit?+-
We replace them - free, and with no argument - and hand over the syllabus progress and known concerns so the new tutor continues seamlessly.
