Excel in VCE Physics with award-winning tutoring
Year 11 VCE Physics Curriculum
To help students achieve outstanding results, I will provide structured guidance, connecting physics concepts with practical applications to foster both understanding and critical analysis. In the first unit, students will explore energy through models of light, thermal energy, radioactivity, nuclear processes, and electricity. By examining light using the wave model and thermal energy through the particle model, they’ll gain a foundational understanding of reflection, refraction, and dispersion.
Students will also apply these ideas to current societal issues, such as communication via optical fibres, climate change, and Australian energy needs, learning to model, investigate, and evaluate these concepts within real-world contexts. Moving to nuclear energy, I’ll help students deepen their knowledge of radiation properties, its biological effects, and the use of radioisotopes in medical treatments. This unit will emphasise explaining, applying, and evaluating nuclear processes. In electrical phenomena, I will support students in building and analysing conceptual models of circuits. Finally, in motion and forces, students will analyse energy and motion graphically, numerically, and algebraically. This comprehensive approach will equip students with the skills and understanding needed to excel in these complex physics topics, providing both a theoretical grounding and practical insight into real-world applications.
- Unit 1: How is energy useful to society?
- Unit 2: How does physics help us to understand the world?
Year 12 VCE Physics Curriculum
To support students in achieving outstanding results in this unit, I will provide targeted guidance to help them build a robust understanding of physics principles and apply them in various contexts. In studying Newton’s laws and motion in one and two dimensions, I will guide students through detailed explorations of linear, circular, and projectile motion. Through hands-on experiments and real-world scenarios, students will apply Newton’s laws to analyse different types of motion, both on Earth and in orbit. We will examine the role of gravitational, magnetic, and electric fields, emphasising their effects on particle motion. Students will compare and contrast these fields, using practical examples such as electricity production, large-scale transmission, and particle accelerators to deepen their understanding.
In exploring light and matter, students will investigate how our understanding of these concepts has evolved. By examining light and electrons as both waves and particles, students will appreciate the complexity and interrelation of light and matter. Finally, we will delve into special relativity and Einstein’s contributions to modern physics. I will guide students in exploring the postulates of relativity, distinct from classical theories, and use practical examples to explain length contraction, time dilation, and the energy-matter relationship. This will include examining how different observers in varied frames of reference experience motion differently. Through this approach, students will develop critical thinking and analytical skills, enabling them to master these advanced physics topics and excel academically.
- Unit 3: How do fields explain motion and electricity?
- Unit 4: How have creative ideas and investigation revolutionised thinking in physics?

Dear Mr Lewis,
Thank you so much for teaching us this year; you have made all of the concepts we’ve covered interesting and easily understandable, which has made all of us perform much better than we likely would have without you. Considering we only had a 25% chance of getting you this year, I’d say we’re all very lucky. All the best for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you draft summative practical reports?
Yes, I can provide complete drafting for summative practical reports. I can review your report and provide feedback that helps you improve the quality and depth of your report before submission.
What levels of physics do you teach?
I teach physics at various levels, primarily focusing on high school students from years 8 to 11 and 12. I have a deep understanding of different state curriculums, including VCE, so I adapt my lessons to match your specific needs, whether you’re just starting with the basics or diving into more advanced topics.
How are the lessons delivered?
All lessons are online, so you can join anywhere that suits you. I use a high-tech setup that allows us to go through material effectively. Think interactive whiteboards, live demonstrations, and plenty of visual aids. This format works very well for science subjects like chemistry, biology, and physics because it allows us to review tricky concepts as often as needed. Plus, you get to learn in an environment where you’re comfortable.
Do you offer one-on-one tutoring or group sessions?
Yes, I offer both. One-on-one sessions let us focus on your questions and learning style, which can be helpful if you have particular areas you want to work on. Group sessions, on the other hand, are great if you enjoy learning with others and bouncing ideas around. It depends on what feels suitable for you. I’m flexible with either approach.
Do I need any special equipment or materials?
No special equipment is necessary. You just need your textbooks, a pen and paper for note-taking, and a desktop computer or laptop with a stable internet connection. I’ll provide the rest, like online resources and learning tools. It’s all about keeping things straightforward so we can focus on the learning.
Is your physics tutoring aligned with the VCE curriculum?
Yes, it is. I’ve written several textbooks for the South Australian Year 11-12 curriculum, so I understand what’s expected in these courses. I also have access to past exams and plenty of resources to ensure you’re well-prepared. Whether you’re studying under the VCE, QCAA, HSC, or SACE, our sessions cover what you need to feel confident in your assignments and exams.
Do you support students in preparing for tests and exams?
Yes, I can help students prepare for any Year 11 or 12 test or exam.
Do you support students in writing practical reports for experiments and investigations?
Yes, I can help Year 11 and 12 students write practical reports to a high standard. I can also draft student reports before submission.
