Online Physics Tutoring for Ontario Grades 11 and 12
We match your teen with a graduate-level tutor who finds where SPH3U or SPH4U marks are slipping and rebuilds those topics, all semester.

Where physics marks are usually lost
And how a tutor fixes them
Physics becomes its own course in Grade 11, and it runs on algebra, vectors and diagrams. SPH3U uses them for forces and projectiles, and SPH4U for 2D collisions, electric fields and modern physics. Lost marks usually point to two or three skills, such as drawing every force or splitting a vector into parts, not to a lack of talent. Many engineering programs require SPH4U.
Free-body diagrams and projectiles in SPH3U
Momentum and collisions in SPH4U
Electric fields and potential in SPH4U
Force and projectile questions start with a diagram: every force drawn and motion split into horizontal and vertical parts. One missed force or sign ruins the answer. A tutor practises the diagram until it is automatic, then moves to full problems.
Momentum is conserved in every collision but kinetic energy only in elastic ones, so students often use the wrong law, and 2D collisions add vector components. A tutor teaches them to decide what is conserved first, then drills collision problems.
Field questions use four look-alike quantities (force, field strength, potential energy and potential), and students confuse their formulas. A tutor pins down what each one measures, then works through point-charge and parallel-plate problems.

Meet some of our physics tutors
Graduate-level and triple-vetted
Every tutor is a Master's, PhD or medical student, or a recent graduate, vetted in three steps. Students keep the same tutor all semester, and if the fit is not right, we match them with another.
Bassel Abdelkader
PhD, Mechanical Engineering
Bassel recently completed a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and has tutored high school math and physics for several years, using real engineering examples.
Willem Brandt
MSc Candidate, Microbiology and Immunology
Willem holds a top honours Biochemistry degree and has been tutoring science and math since university.
Agafe Bless Reyes
PhD Candidate, Gestational Diabetes Research
Agafe tutors physics, math, chemistry and biology, and researches how gestational diabetes affects mitochondrial function in blood vessels.
Sathvika Balumuri
MSc, Computer Science
Sathvika holds a Master's in Computer Science, tutors math and physics, has been a teaching assistant at uOttawa and began teaching as a Grade 10 student.

What Families Say
Physics tutoring questions, answered
How quickly can my child start with a physics tutor?
Tutoring can usually start within 2 to 3 days. Request a Tutor online with one short form, or book a free, no-obligation consultation if you would like to talk first. Your child keeps the same tutor all semester.
Who are the physics tutors?
Our physics tutors are Master's and PhD students and graduates from uOttawa and Guelph, including a mechanical engineering PhD who has tutored high school physics for several years. Every tutor is vetted in three steps, and we switch tutors if the fit is not right.
Are lessons online or in person?
All lessons are live online and one-on-one. Tutor and student work on an interactive whiteboard, which suits free-body diagrams, vector components and circuits. Each session is recorded, and a summary and notes are shared afterwards.
Does SPH4U matter for university admission?
For many programs, yes. Many Ontario engineering programs require SPH4U, and a required course counts in the admission average even if it is not among the student's top six marks. Requirements differ between universities, so check each program's list early.
When should we start physics exam prep?
Start at least three weeks before the final, ideally four. From 2026-27, SPH3U and SPH4U end with a mandatory written exam worth 25% of the mark. Prep begins with a full-course diagnostic, then targets the highest-yield gaps with spaced review.
Can the tutor help if the real problem is the math?
Yes. In SPH3U and SPH4U, a weak spot in algebra or trigonometry, such as rearranging formulas or resolving vectors, often shows up as a physics problem. The tutor targets those gaps inside real physics homework, tests and lab reports.
