Physics tutors in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Physics tutoring
Most physics problems are maths problems wearing a lab coat. That is where the marks go.
IGCSE and O Level Physics, AS and A-Level Physics, IB Physics at Higher and Standard Level, Common Core and AP Physics, Canadian Grade 9 to 12 Physics and SABIS Physics. Every mentor sat these papers a few years ago. Lessons run online across the UAE or at your home in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What makes the difference
- 01
The maths under the physics
A student who cannot rearrange a formula, handle standard form or read a gradient will lose physics marks that have nothing to do with physics. Our mentors check that layer in the first lessons, because fixing it changes more grades than another pass through the syllabus does.
- 02
The practical paper is written, not practical
Every British and IB board examines experimental skill on paper: uncertainties, anomalous results, why a particular control matters, how to improve a method. It is examined the same way every year, it is very learnable, and it is the part schools have least time for.
- 03
Definitions are marked word by word
Physics mark schemes reward exact phrasing. A student who understands the idea but writes it loosely gets nothing. Mentors who sat the paper recently know which words the scheme is looking for and drill them until they are automatic.
Inside the subject
The four blocks every physics syllabus is built from
Mechanics
Forces, motion, momentum, energy and circular motion, plus the graph work that runs through all of it. This is where the year starts and where most later confusion is traced back to.
Electricity and magnetism
Circuits, resistance, potential dividers, fields and electromagnetic induction. Circuit questions reward a method rather than a memorised result, and that method can be taught in a handful of lessons.
Waves and optics
Wave behaviour, superposition, refraction, diffraction and the standing wave work that A-Level and IB both examine heavily. Diagrams carry marks here, and most students draw them badly.
Thermal, nuclear and modern physics
Thermal physics, gas laws, radioactivity, atomic structure and the quantum topics at A-Level, IB HL and AP. These sit at the end of the course, which is exactly why they are the least revised.
The order changes between boards, the content barely does. A mentor works out which block is costing marks, then teaches that one against your child's own specification and past papers.
Across the curricula
Physics on every syllabus Durusi teaches
IGCSE and O Level Physics
Cambridge, Edexcel and Oxford AQA, physics on its own or inside coordinated science, with the theory papers and whichever practical route your school enters for.
A-LevelAS and A-Level Physics
The full two years including the practical endorsement, worked on your child's own board rather than on a generic revision guide.
IBIB Physics, HL and SL
At Higher or Standard Level, with the Internal Assessment planned back from its deadline and the data handling the paper actually tests.
AmericanCommon Core and honours physics
Carried through the year rather than the fortnight before finals, so the GPA moves steadily.
APAP Physics
Taught beside the school class, so the coursework grade and the May exam move together instead of competing for the same evenings.
CanadianGrade 9 to 12 Physics
Grade 9 to 12 physics, built one course at a time and matched to the province your school follows, with the senior courses universities look for.
SABISSABIS Physics, every Level
Physics taught to the SABIS calendar, weekly AMS tests before the periodic exams, by mentors who came through that system themselves.
Each course above has a landing page of its own with the boards, the papers and the prices in full. Physics and maths lean on each other, and plenty of families book them as a pair.
In Abu Dhabi: IGCSE · A-Level · IB · SABIS. Physics also appears in the EmSAT science papers.
How it works
From first message to a first physics lesson in days
-
01
Tell us the course
The syllabus name and the board are enough: IGCSE Physics with Edexcel, A-Level Physics with Cambridge, IB Physics HL, AP Physics or a SABIS Level. Two minutes is all it takes.
-
02
Meet your mentor
You are matched with a mentor who took that same specification and did well in it. The first lesson follows, online or in your home in either city.

03
Watch the marks move
We timetable around school and mock weeks. After each session the parent gets a short progress note. If the match is wrong, the next one is free.
FAQ
Physics tutoring in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, answered
- 01
How much does a physics tutor cost?
Nothing on our price list is subject specific, so physics costs what any subject costs at that school level. High school is AED 180 an hour on Commitment and AED 200 on Flexible, middle school AED 160 or AED 180. Those figures already carry VAT at 5%. Add AED 30 if you want the lesson taught at home. Every level is on the pricing page.
- 02
Which physics courses do you cover?
IGCSE and O Level Physics, AS and A-Level Physics, IB Physics at Higher and Standard Level, Common Core and honours physics, AP Physics, Canadian Grade 9 to 12 Physics and SABIS Physics at every Level. All of them are named on our services page.
- 03
Can one mentor teach physics and maths together?
Often yes, and for many students it is the better arrangement, because the two subjects share so much. Tell us both syllabuses when you write and we will look for a mentor who sat both. If the combination is unusual we will say so and match two mentors instead.
- 04
Do you cover the practical and the alternative-to-practical papers?
Yes. Experimental skill is examined on paper by every British board and by the IB, and it is one of the most teachable parts of the course: uncertainties, anomalous results, controls and method improvements come up in a predictable way. We work through past practical papers with the official mark scheme.
- 05
Are lessons online or in person?
Both are available. Mentors travel across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and online teaching covers the rest of the UAE. Many families keep one lesson at home each week and add online sessions in the weeks before mocks and the summer series.
- 06
Who are the mentors?
High-performing undergraduates and recent graduates of universities including AUS, AUD, CUD and NYUAD. Many are reading engineering or a physical science, which they reached through the paper your child is sitting now. More about how we select mentors.
