A Bit About the Course

Explore the power of Physics in a dynamic, supportive environment designed for curious teens aged 14+. Our 1-year GCSE Physics course follows the AQA specification and is delivered in small groups to ensure every learner gets the attention they need to thrive. As our priority is about students loving what they do we don't bombard them with tests, but we do provide Mock Exams at key learning milestones where we feel is appropriate to ensure they are fully prepared to sit their GCSE. 

 

At Better EdSpace, we bring science to life with practical experiments, real-world problem-solving, and a deep focus on understanding—not just memorising. Whether your teen is passionate about how the universe works or simply needs a strong foundation in Physics for future studies, this course will equip them with the knowledge and confidence to succeed.
