Physics and Chemistry · Seconde (first year of lycée)
In Seconde (the first year of lycée), physics and chemistry stops being descriptive: students count moles, handle powers of ten and write up a line of reasoning. It is also the year when Première specialities are chosen, and a speciality is sometimes dropped on the strength of a poor first term rather than a genuine lack of interest.

The curriculum
Amount of substance is a frequent breaking point from the autumn. It is not acquired by rereading the course: it takes hold by redoing calculations, one problem after another.
Converting, handling powers of ten and checking that a result is plausible: these habits cost marks regardless of the concepts themselves.
The choice of speciality is made in the spring, on marks from early in the year. Consolidating early means making a real choice, rather than giving up for not having understood the first chapter.
Rates
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.

School success and study choices
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.
Parents and follow-up
A child may need private tutoring when their difficulties become repetitive (accumulated gaps, persistent mistakes, homework that takes too long). Identifying a specific, lasting blockage is more useful than a single bad mark. Targeted support helps consolidate fragile knowledge and avoid the “snowball” effect of gaps.
Methods and revision
A flashcard is useful when it asks a precise question, when the student looks for the answer before checking it and when the cards are reviewed at spaced intervals. Stick to one idea per card and vary the types: definitions, distinctions, examples and common mistakes. For complex skills, flashcards remain a complement to practice, not a substitute for it.
Frequently asked questions
Above all, it is more quantitative. Where collège described phenomena, Seconde asks students to calculate them, with correct units and a proper written explanation.
Indirectly, yes: the tutor quickly sees whether the difficulty comes from a gap that can be closed or from a genuine lack of interest, and the session report gives the family something to decide on other than the average.
One session a week on the chapters in progress, and a tighter rhythm over a few weeks when the aim is to revisit a specific point such as amount of substance.
They work from the school’s own material: the current chapter, the exercises set, marked tests. These are what show what is expected and where the student is losing marks.
It happens, and it is rather good news: the difficulty then lies in modelling, choosing the law and setting up the problem, which can be worked on with a tutor, problem by problem.
