Private tutoring in physics and chemistry for Première (second year of lycée)

The physics and chemistry speciality in Première (the second year of lycée) is dense and will stay that way: changes of matter, energy, forces, waves. It calls for maths tools that the maths course has not always covered yet, and this mismatch weighs from the first chapters, before the subject itself is even in question.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in physics and chemistry for Première (second year of lycée)?

Topics covered

  • Monitoring a chemical change
  • Titrations
  • Energy and its conversions
  • Forces and motion
  • Thin lenses and images
  • Sound waves

A speciality that does not forgive falling behind

The Première curriculum moves on without looking back: the chemistry of changes, energy and waves follow one another within a few months. A missed chapter does not catch itself up.

Maths expected before it is taught

Vectors, derivatives and functions are used in physics before the maths course has always finished them. The tutor bridges this gap rather than waiting for it to close on its own.

Writing up a line of reasoning

A physics exercise is marked on the method: diagram, chosen law, numerical application, unit. Marks are lost as much on this sequence as on the final calculation.

Rates

Tutoring in physics and chemistry for Première (second year of lycée) from €19 an hour

The rate shown is the final price paid by the 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.

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

How do you measure a student’s progress in private tutoring?

A student’s progress is not measured by their marks alone. You need to track over time their understanding, their independence, their recurring errors, their consistency and their ability to succeed at comparable tasks with less and less help.

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 for Première (second year of lycée)

Does the Première speciality prepare for the Terminale one?

Directly. Newton’s laws, thermodynamics and waves in Terminale build on the energy and forces covered in Première: whatever has not been mastered reappears straight away.

What happens if the student drops the speciality at the end of Première?

The year’s marks then count towards the continuous assessment of the baccalauréat. Support therefore serves both to secure that average and to keep the speciality open for Terminale.

Does the tutor work on practical work?

They work on what is assessed in writing: using a protocol, uncertainties, analysing results and the lab report. The hands-on experiments themselves stay at school.

How many sessions does it take to catch up on a whole chapter?

It depends on what is missing further back: revisiting a single chapter is nothing like revisiting the Seconde prerequisites it relies on. The tutor gives an estimate after the first session, and the session report sets out the next steps.

Can physics and chemistry be covered in the same session?

Yes, and it is often useful before a test. Outside those periods, alternating lets the student make real progress on each part rather than skimming both.
