Best IB Physics tutors in the UK & online

I’m Graham, a Programme Leader and experienced Physics teacher with over 26 years in education, including 15 years teaching IB Physics in international schools across China, Portugal, Peru, and Brazil. I hold a Physics degree from the University of Sheffield and a PGCE from the University of Exeter. I’ve taught GCSE, A-level, and IB Physics, and led a thriving department where over 60 IB students achieved an average HL score above 6. I’m also an IB examiner for both the Internal Assessment and Paper 2 components, giving me deep insight into how students can succeed in assessments. My lessons are fully interactive and tailored to each student’s needs. I use engaging presentations, simulations, and problem-solving tasks to build understanding and correct misconceptions through careful questioning. My relaxed and supportive teaching style encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, and grow in confidence. Outside of teaching, I’m passionate about outdoor education and adventure travel. I’ve taken students trekking in Nepal, India, and Pakistan, and cycled across Patagonia, Brazil, and from London to Istanbul. I speak Portuguese and basic Spanish, and love sharing my curiosity and global perspective with students.

I’m Amad, an experienced IB Diploma Physics teacher and examiner with over 20 years of teaching experience in international schools across Qatar, UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. I hold a Master’s degree in Physics and have extensive experience teaching both MYP and DP Physics. As an IB examiner and member of the IB Educators Network (IBEN), I have deep insight into assessment criteria, Internal Assessments (IA), and exam expectations. I have supported many students in improving their grades through structured guidance, targeted practice, and clear conceptual understanding. My tutoring approach focuses on simplifying complex ideas, identifying gaps in understanding, and building strong problem-solving skills. I emphasize exam techniques, past paper practice, and effective revision strategies, while also guiding students in IA writing, data analysis, uncertainty calculations, and graphing tools like Logger Pro. I aim to build both confidence and independence in my students. Outside of teaching, I enjoy exploring real-world applications of physics, mentoring students, and staying engaged with educational innovation.

I’m Jonathan, an experienced IB educator and examiner with over two decades of international teaching and leadership experience. I specialize in helping students excel in IB Physics, Mathematics, and Theory of Knowledge through a thoughtful, individualized approach. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve served as IB Diploma Programme Coordinator, Physics/Mathematics Teacher, and TOK Teacher/Examiner at leading international schools in China, Sri Lanka, USA, Dominican Republic, and Senegal. I’m also the founder of SmartSmith Educational Consultants, where I guide students toward academic confidence and top IB results. I hold a Master of Science from Oregon State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics from the University of Colorado. My tutoring focuses on clarity, curiosity, and confidence. I break down challenging concepts into simple, practical steps while connecting them to real-world applications. I emphasize critical thinking and conceptual mastery—skills that empower students beyond the classroom. Outside of tutoring, I’m an avid mountain climber, musician, and artist. I love exploring how science, creativity, and human curiosity intersect—both in my own life and in my students’ learning.

I’m Peter. I have been teaching IB Physics for 35 years, working as a teacher, Head of Department, Vice Principal and Head of School in 7 different countries. I used to be a moderator for IA.

I'm Laura, and I study Physics at University College London. I got a 42 overall in IB, with a 7 in Physics HL, and I have been tutoring since 2022. I also did my EE in Physics, for which I got an A and also won first prize in The Norwegian Young Researchers Contest. As a tutor, I bring enthusiasm to our sessions, and focus on identifying gaps in knowledge, addressing common mistakes, and building confidence through practicing with questions. Outside of Physics I enjoy reading, and this year I am also learning to kickbox!

My name is Celina, I graduated the IB with 44 points in 2021, and I am now working on my master's degree in aerospace engineering at TU Delft. I received 7s in HL Physics, Math AA, and Music, and I have tutored students with Lanterna for around 2 years now. I am also a teaching assistant for several courses at my university. I guide students in the same way I learn difficult subjects myself: ensuring a solid foundation with basic concepts, and slowly building upon it to avoid attempting to understanding too many ideas at once. I am a firm believer that everything can be explained in terms that are easy to understand if simplified correctly. I developed this simplification skill to be able to understand complex topics during the 3 years it took to obtain my bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy Track & Field, beach volleyball, martial arts, hiking, skiing, and sailing. I am also classically trained in singing, piano, and violin – hence why I enjoy teaching IB Music – and I try to practice my instruments whenever I get the chance.
