Physics – Weekly grind
6th Yr | Monday or Friday | 6pm – 7:10pm
Course information
These classes provide complete coverage of the Leaving Certificate Higher
Level Physics syllabus, with a strong focus on exam success and past paper
practice. What sets us apart is that students receive two classes per week,
allowing for greater depth of understanding, regular reinforcement of
material, and more time for exam-focused revision. Lessons are delivered in
a clear, structured, and approachable manner, making challenging topics
more accessible. Students also receive comprehensive notes on all areas of
the course, along with fully worked solutions to every exam question since
2002—the first year of the current syllabus.
