Physics and Chemistry

Private tutoring in physics and chemistry

Physics and chemistry penalise two things at once: the maths that is missing and the reasoning that stays vague. A student can know the course by heart and hand in a blank page because they do not know which law to apply. NOEO physics and chemistry tutors declare the levels they teach, and their application is vetted before their profile goes live; every session ends with a written report.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in physics and chemistry?

Topics covered

  • Mechanics
  • Electricity
  • Optics
  • Chemical reactions
  • Amount of substance
  • Waves and signals

Two subjects in one

Physics and chemistry do not go wrong for the same reasons. Working out where the difficulty really lies avoids spending weeks on half the problem.

The missing maths tools

Some of the blocks in physics are maths blocks first: powers of ten, proportionality, functions. The tutor revisits them along the way, without turning them into a separate topic.

The exercise, not the recitation

The course can be memorised; the exercise has to be built. Knowing which law to apply, and in what order, is a skill that is developed problem by problem.

Rates

Tutoring in physics and chemistry from €19 an hour

The rate shown is the final price paid by the student or their family, NOEO commission included. It varies from tutor to tutor, and nothing is added on top: no application fee, no matching fee, no service fee.

€0 sign-up fee · €0 subscription · you only pay for the sessions you book.

What NOEO brings

What you get on top of the tutoring session

Tutors vetted before they go live

NOEO reviews each tutor’s application before their profile appears. The tutor then declares the subjects and levels they teach, and never appears under any they have not declared.

Live tutoring, on Noeo Live

Sessions take place online, with the whiteboard, documents and conversation in one place. No travelling, and your choice of tutor no longer depends on distance.

A session report after every session

The tutor writes a session report at the end of every session, readable by the student and, for a minor, by their parents. Their payout stays on hold until that report has been sent.

The replay and documents, after the session

The session recording and the documents used stay available in the student’s space: a concept that was not quite understood can be revisited without waiting for the next session.

Revision material between sessions

From a session and its report, the student generates their revision sheet, flashcards and quiz in Noeo Learn, then revises at their own pace.

Follow-up suited to the student

An independent student keeps their space to themselves. For a minor, parents see the sessions, session reports and messages, and decide how much independence to give them.

School success and study choices

Physics and Chemistry private tutoring at lycée: how to make real progress

To make progress with Physics and Chemistry private tutoring at lycée (upper secondary school), the student needs to learn to link four things: the phenomenon studied, the model used, the quantities with their units, and the steps of the reasoning. Private tutoring is most useful when it pinpoints exactly where this chain breaks, then gets the student working until they can solve problems without guidance. Doing more exercises or memorising formulas is therefore not enough. Effective support alternates understanding the course, diagrams, calculations, checking units, interpreting results and varied exercises, with regular work between sessions.

Private tutoring

First private tutoring session: the checklist for a good start

A successful first private tutoring session depends on preparation beforehand: giving the tutor a precise need, recent assessments and the current chapter. The session makes it possible to observe what has been learnt, identify blocks and set concrete objectives. The first four weeks serve to refine the diagnosis and adjust the support.

Methods and revision

Active recall: the revision method that makes the brain retrieve information

Active recall means retrieving information from memory, without looking at your notes, and then checking your answers. It is a more effective method than simple rereading for long-term memorisation. To use it well, you need to space out recall sessions and use your mistakes to target the gaps.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tutoring in physics and chemistry

Do the sessions cover both physics and chemistry?

Yes. In the NOEO subject list, the subject is called Physics and Chemistry and covers both. The tutor then adjusts the balance to whatever is really causing difficulty.

Can practical work be done online?

No, and NOEO does not claim otherwise: hands-on experiments take place at school. In the session, the tutor works on using a protocol, analysing measurements and writing up the lab report, which is where marks are lost.

Should my child also have maths tutoring?

Not necessarily. The physics and chemistry tutor revisits the maths tools they need; separate support is justified when the gaps go well beyond the subject.

From what level does NOEO offer physics and chemistry?

Today, on NOEO, physics and chemistry is taught from collège to higher education. Each tutor chooses the levels on which they appear, and their application is reviewed by NOEO before their profile is published.

What does a physics and chemistry session look like?

It takes place live on Noeo Live, with the whiteboard, diagrams and documents in one place. The materials, and the recording when the session is recorded, then stay in the student’s space, and the tutor writes a session report.
