The Growing Stars IB MYP Physics Tutoring Program is designed to help students master physical systems while developing the scientific skills, inquiry methods, and Approaches to Learning (ATL) emphasized in the IB framework. Tutoring is tailored to each student’s academic requirements, with a focus on core concepts like mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, waves, and astrophysics, alongside interdisciplinary connections.
Students receive guidance in understanding complex physical mechanisms, applying mathematical concepts to physics problems, analyzing experimental data, strengthening scientific communication, and applying effective problem-solving strategies. Support is also provided for MYP science investigations, coursework, and assessments, helping students become more confident, independent, and effective scientific thinkers.
IB MYP Physics develops students’ understanding of physical phenomena through conceptual learning, mathematical problem-solving, and scientific investigations. Topics vary by school and MYP year.
| Physics Topic | Key Concepts | Skills Developed |
|---|---|---|
| Forces and Motion | Speed, velocity, acceleration, Newton’s laws | Motion calculations and graph interpretation |
| Energy | Kinetic, potential, thermal energy, conservation | Energy calculations and transformations |
| Electricity | Current, voltage, resistance, circuits | Circuit analysis and Ohm’s law |
| Waves | Sound, light, frequency, wavelength | Wave calculations and interpretation |
| Magnetism | Magnetic fields, electromagnets | Understanding magnetic interactions |
| Thermal Physics | Heat transfer, temperature, particle behavior | Explaining thermal processes |
| Scientific Investigations | Variables, hypotheses, experiments | Data collection, analysis, and evaluation |
IB MYP Sciences uses four assessment criteria to evaluate students’ scientific knowledge, inquiry skills, data interpretation, and understanding of science in real-world contexts.
| MYP Criterion | Assessment Focus | How Tutoring Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding | Scientific knowledge and application | Concept explanations and physics problem-solving |
| Criterion B: Inquiring and Designing | Research questions, hypotheses, experiment design | Guided scientific investigation planning |
| Criterion C: Processing and Evaluating | Data presentation, analysis, conclusions, evaluation | Graph interpretation and data-analysis practice |
| Criterion D: Reflecting on the Impacts of Science | Applications and implications of science | Connecting physics concepts to real-world situations |
Each criterion has a maximum achievement level of 8, giving a combined maximum of 32 before conversion to an overall MYP subject grade.
IB MYP Physics can be challenging because students must combine scientific concepts, mathematical calculations, experimental investigations, and critical thinking. Common difficulties include interpreting motion graphs, applying physics formulas, understanding electricity, analyzing experimental data, and explaining scientific conclusions.

Find quick answers to common questions about our IB MYP Physics tutoring, session format, and student support.
Sessions run live on our interactive platform, using audio/video, a digital whiteboard, and screen sharing so the tutor and student can work through problems together in real time.
Yes. Sessions are tightly aligned with your child’s curriculum, textbooks, class notes, assignments, and other learning materials. The tutor adapts to the exact resources your child uses while simultaneously preparing them for upcoming assessments.
Yes. We pair each student with one dedicated tutor for consistency, ensuring that sessions build on each other's progress instead of starting from scratch each time.
Progress is monitored through regular practice, homework, quizzes, assessments, and ongoing tutor feedback. Parents can access updates and reports through the Parent Portal, email, and the GS App, keeping them fully informed about their child’s learning, strengths, and areas for improvement.
Not necessarily. Tutoring utilizes your existing curriculum, textbooks, and class notes, with our tutors providing additional practice questions and custom study materials as needed.
Yes. Sessions can zero in on specific topics where your child needs targeted support, while still covering broader course content. The tutor dynamically adjusts the pace, practice volume, and level of support based on your child’s needs.
Absolutely. Live online Math tutoring is highly effective thanks to real-time interaction, digital whiteboarding, and collaborative problem-solving. Tutors explain concepts, work through equations, and provide immediate feedback, mirroring the personalized nature of an in-person session with the added benefit of digital tools.
