Assessment and Matching
Your child joins a consultation with a Physics specialist who assesses their current level, identifies gaps in the 0625 topic areas, and agrees a study plan.
Matched to Your Tutor
Based on the assessment, your Academic Consultant matches your child to a vetted Physics tutor. Every tutor holds a relevant degree and has passed a 14-step vetting process.
Live 1:1 Physics Sessions
Sessions run Monday to Saturday on Gulf Standard Time. Your tutor works through past paper questions, mark scheme technique, and syllabus content at your child's pace.
Progress Tracked by Consultants
Your Academic Consultant monitors progress throughout. Parents access session notes and progress updates via the parent dashboard, with mock exam feedback at key intervals.

What do IGCSE Physics students say?
Honest feedback from students who sat their Physics papers after working with a Talimat tutor.
Book a Consultation“Before Talimat, I kept losing marks on Paper 4 questions that asked me to 'explain' rather than just 'state'. My tutor went through exactly what examiners expect for each command word and it completely changed how I wrote my answers.”

Dr Sarah Mitchell
Cambridge IGCSE Physics Specialist, MSc Physics, PGCE Secondary Science
Dr Sarah Mitchell has over twelve years of experience teaching and tutoring Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level Physics in international school settings across the United Kingdom and the Gulf region. She holds an MSc in Physics from the University of Manchester and a PGCE in Secondary Science. Dr Mitchell has worked extensively with Cambridge IGCSE syllabus 0625 at both Core and Extended levels, contributed to internal examiner training programmes, and has a detailed working knowledge of the Paper 4 mark scheme and the Alternative to Practical assessment criteria. She reviews Talimat's IGCSE Physics content to ensure accuracy and currency with the latest Cambridge syllabus updates.

How can you improve your Cambridge IGCSE Physics grade?
Cambridge IGCSE Physics demands more than memorising definitions. Students must apply physical principles to unfamiliar scenarios, interpret experimental data, and write precise answers under timed conditions. This section covers what makes Physics difficult and what targeted 1:1 support changes.
Cambridge IGCSE Physics (syllabus 0625) is examined across three papers: Paper 2 (Core multiple choice), Paper 4 (Extended theory), and Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical). Extended candidates sit all three.
Paper 4 carries significant weight in the final grade. Many GCC students find the jump from lower secondary science to IGCSE Physics sharp, especially topics like electromagnetic induction, nuclear decay and the gas laws.
These topics need quantitative reasoning, not just recall. A specialist tutor drills the command words examiners use, state, explain, calculate and describe, since confusing them is a top reason students drop Paper 4 marks.
Key takeaways
- Syllabus 0625 covers Core and Extended tiers with three examination papers
- Paper 4 tests application and analysis, not just recall
- Command word precision is essential for full marks on written papers
- Practical skills are assessed via Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical)
- 1:1 tutoring targets the exact topics and papers where marks are being lost

Syllabus 0625 — Core and Extended
Eight topic areas. Cambridge IGCSE Physics mapped and exam-ready.
The Cambridge IGCSE Physics syllabus (0625) spans eight major topic areas across Core and Extended tiers. Paper 2 tests Core content; Paper 4 adds Extended material. Paper 6 assesses planning, analysis, and evaluation of experimental data without requiring a school lab.
General Physics — Motion, forces, energy, pressure, and density — the foundation of every Paper 2 and Paper 4 question set.
Thermal Physics — Kinetic theory, specific heat capacity, latent heat, and the three methods of heat transfer with quantitative applications.
Waves and Light — Properties of waves, reflection, refraction, total internal reflection, and electromagnetic spectrum (Extended only: diffraction).
Electricity and Magnetism — Circuit calculations using V=IR, series and parallel rules, electromagnetic induction, and transformer equations.
Nuclear Physics — Radioactive decay, half-life calculations, nuclear fission, and fusion — among the highest-mark Extended paper topics.
How does the Cambridge IGCSE Physics grading system work?
Cambridge IGCSE uses an A* to G letter grade scale. A* is the highest grade, awarded to candidates who demonstrate exceptional understanding and application across all assessment objectives.
Top Performers - A* Award
The A* grade requires outstanding performance across Paper 2, Paper 4, and Paper 6, demonstrating precise application of physical principles and strong quantitative reasoning throughout.
The A* to G scale shown applies specifically to Cambridge IGCSE qualifications and may differ from Edexcel International GCSE, IB, or other programmes. Speak to your Academic Consultant for board-specific guidance.
Our students consistently achieve top grades.

Which Cambridge IGCSE Physics tutor fits your grade?
Support available for Grade 9 foundation-building and Grade 10 exam-year intensive preparation.
Grade 9 (Year 1)
Build the Core foundations: general physics, thermal energy, and waves. Early mastery of units and significant figures prevents mark loss in Year 2.
Grade 10 (Year 2)
Targeted Paper 4 and Paper 6 preparation. Focus on Extended content: electromagnetic induction, nuclear physics, and past paper technique under exam conditions.

Which Cambridge IGCSE Physics syllabus does Talimat cover?
Talimat tutors teach to Cambridge IGCSE Physics syllabus 0625, covering both Core and Extended tiers, Paper 2, Paper 4, and Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical).
Can my child sit the Cambridge IGCSE Physics exam through Talimat?
Talimat is not a Cambridge registered centre. Students sit their exams at an approved Cambridge exam centre, such as the British Council Dubai. Your Academic Consultant can advise on registration.
How quickly can my child be matched to a Physics tutor?
Most students are matched to a qualified Physics tutor in under 10 minutes of signing up. All tutors hold a relevant degree and have completed a 14-step vetting process.
Does the tutor cover Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical) as well?
Yes. Talimat Physics tutors include Paper 6 preparation in sessions, covering planning, analysis, and evaluation of experimental data so students are not caught out by the practical paper.
What is the cost of IGCSE Physics tutoring at Talimat?
IGCSE tutoring starts from AED 50 per hour. There is no enrolment deposit and you can cancel at any time with no hidden fees.
Does Talimat offer tutoring on weekends?
Sessions run Monday to Saturday on Gulf Standard Time, giving families flexible scheduling across the school week and into the weekend.
How does the parent dashboard work?
Parents receive access to a dashboard where they can view session notes, track progress, and communicate with their assigned Academic Consultant throughout the programme.
Can a tutor help my child choose between Core and Extended Physics?
Yes. During your first consultation, your tutor assesses your child's current level and advises whether Core or Extended suits their target university pathway.
