IGCSE Physics Tuition
Where Physics Finally Makes Sense — From Forces to Energy
Physics isn’t about memorising formulas — it’s about understanding how the world really works.
At Owlbama Science Education in Tanjung Tokong, Penang, we make Physics clear, visual, and logical — helping students connect complex ideas to real-life phenomena they can see and feel.
Our mission is simple: to turn confusion into confidence, so every student finally understands why things move, fall, float, or glow.
What You’ll Learn (Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 Overview)
The IGCSE Physics syllabus helps students explore the rules that govern our universe — from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies.
We guide students to discover not just what happens, but why it happens, building real scientific reasoning along the way.
Here’s what students learn in IGCSE Physics:
- ⚙ Motion, forces, and energy
- 💡 Light, sound, and waves
- 🔋 Electricity and magnetism
- 🌡 Thermal physics
- 🧪 Practical investigations and experimental skills
- 🌍 Atomic physics and the structure of matter
Each topic is taught with clear explanations, real-world applications, and simple visual examples
— making Physics something students can finally see and understand.
How We Teach Physics Differently
Many students find Physics hard because it’s often taught as a list of formulas and theory. We do things differently — with an approach focused on clarity, curiosity, and connection.
Our tutors break every topic down into logical steps, showing how formulas actually come from real-life ideas — not just numbers on paper.
We use visuals, demonstrations, and relatable scenarios so that abstract concepts become easy to imagine and apply.
Every lesson is designed to:
✅ Explain tough concepts in simple, logical steps
✅ Strengthen problem-solving and formula application
✅ Connect Physics theory to real-life examples (like cars, phones, and power stations)
✅ Build confidence through understanding, not memorisation
Why Students Struggle — and How We Fix That
“I memorised all the formulas, but I still can’t solve the questions.” “I understand the examples, but the exam questions feel different.”
Sound familiar?
Physics becomes frustrating when students only memorise equations instead of understanding how to apply them.
At Owlbama, we fix that by helping students see the logic behind every problem.
We teach them how to visualise forces, energy transfers, and diagrams — so they know why
each step works, not just what to write.
Once students understand the reasoning, they can confidently tackle even the trickiest questions — step by step.
Who This Class Is For ?
- Year 9–11 students preparing for Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625)
- Learners who understand the formulas but struggle to apply them
- Students who prefer clear, visual explanations instead of memorising theory
- Anyone who wants to build true confidence in problem-solving and reasoning
Whether you’re aiming to master the basics or push for an A*, our lessons are designed to match your pace and goals.
Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) — Exam Overview
Pape r | Type | Duratio n | Mark s | Weightin g | Who Takes It | What It Tests |
Paper 1 | Multiple Choice (Core) | 45 min | 40 | 30% | Core candidates | 40 multiple-choice questions from the Core syllabus |
Paper 2 | Multiple Choice (Extended) | 45 min | 40 | 30% | Extended candidates | Same as Paper 1 but includes Supplement topics |
Paper 3 | Theory (Core) | 1 h 15 min | 80 | 50% | Core candidates | Structured questions from Core syllabus |
Paper 4 | Theory (Extended) | 1 h 15 min | 80 | 50% | Extended candidates | Structured questions from Core + Supplement |
Paper 5 | Practical Test | 1 h 15 min | 40 | 20% | Core or Extended | Hands-on practical work and experimental design |
Paper 6 | Alternative to Practical | 1 h | 40 | 20% | Core or Extended | Practical-style reasoning without lab equipment |
✅ Owlbama Tip:
Students take either the Core route (Papers 1 + 3 + 5/6) or the Extended route (Papers 2 + 4
+ 5/6) — not both.
We guide students to choose the route that fits their confidence level, ability, and school pathway.
Core vs Extended Comparison
Feature | Physics Core | Physics Extended |
Content Covered | Core topics only | Core + Supplement topics |
Grade Range Possible | Up to Grade C | Full range A* – G |
When to Use It | For students focusing on strong fundamentals | For students aiming for deeper understanding and top grades |
Exam Papers | Paper 1 + Paper 3 + (Paper 5 or 6) | Paper 2 + Paper 4 + (Paper 5 or 6) |
Complexity & Depth | Straightforward, concept-based questions | Involves higher-level reasoning and multi-step problems |
Additional Notes & Grading
Grade coverage:
- Core route allows grades up to C (Cambridge International)
- Extended route allows full range A–G** (Cambridge International)
Our tutors help each student choose the right path — Core or Extended — based on their confidence, progress, and long-term goals.
