Higher Physics is a beautiful subject, but it can be unforgiving. It requires a unique blend of conceptual understanding and mathematical agility.
The Maths-Physics Connection
As a tutor for both subjects, I see where the disconnect happens.
- Algebra: Physics is essentially Applied Maths. If your algebra is rock solid, the Physics becomes much easier.
- Units: A common pitfall in Physics is forgetting units[cite: 9]. In my sessions, we are disciplined about this. No number exists without a unit!
Why a Med Student Tutor?
Physics is a key entry requirement for many medical and science courses. I have successfully navigated this path. I can help students in East Kilbride understand not just the what, but the why. We will work through past papers under timed conditions [cite: 8] to ensure that when you see a "Our Dynamic Universe" question in the exam, you smile rather than panic.
