Why It Matters
Mocks are coming.
Walk in confident.
The autumn term flies by, and November mocks arrive before most students feel ready — topics taught weeks ago start to blur. These half-term days close the gaps on two core topics while the pressure is off, so your child walks into mocks confident, not catching up.
Fill the Gaps
We revisit and consolidate two core topics so nothing is half-remembered when the mocks — and the real exams — come around.
Hands-On, Not a Lecture
Relaxed, practical mornings and afternoons with real demos and worked examples — physics that actually makes sense.
Small, Friendly Groups
In-person in Dulwich with plenty of individual attention. Everyone can ask questions and get unstuck on the spot.
Taught by an Examiner
Kate is a practising examiner. Students learn the exact technique and language that turns understanding into marks.
Two Boards, Same Care
Choose AQA GCSE in the morning or Edexcel International GCSE in the afternoon — each tailored to its specification.
Confidence Before Mocks
Walk into the November mocks already ahead — calm, prepared, and genuinely interested in the subject again.
Two Boards, One Half-Term
Choose your exam board
Same two topics. Same expert teaching. Same days in Dulwich. The only difference is the specification and the time of day — pick the track that matches your child's school.

Reviews
What students & parents say
★★★★★
My son just finished the Science GCSE revision week with Kate, Chloe and Debs and came away feeling much more confident in all three Sciences. The excellent course structure, detailed knowledge and continual support provided over the past week has really helped him to focus and approach his Science GCSE with real optimism! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Thank you again.
★★★★★
The GCSE science revision course exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did my daughter grow in confidence and practice her exam technique, but she also enjoyed working in small groups and the warm, engaging style of all three teachers. Thank you for a brilliant course!
★★★★★
In just a few sessions her confidence and interest in physics has 100% turned around and she is going into year 10 with a renewed interest.
★★★★★
Expert tutor with creative sessions, group and 1:1. I have seen a huge improvement in confidence and love for the subject. Easter group sessions thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Kate.

About
Meet Kate
I'm an experienced Physics teacher, examiner, and the founder of Physics with Kate. Over more than 15 years I've taught and examined thousands of students — and I know exactly where the GCSE jump trips students up.
These half-term sessions are the ones I wish every student had before mocks: relaxed, hands-on, and focused on making the core ideas genuinely click. Whether your child sits AQA or the Edexcel International GCSE, they'll be taught by someone who marks the real papers.
I'd genuinely love to help your child go into mocks with confidence. Have a question? Just get in touch — I'm always happy to chat.
