For teachers · 0625 & 9702

For the teachers, not just the students

I marked both Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) and AS & A Level Physics (9702), and I've read every examiner report Cambridge published for both syllabuses from 2021 to 2026. Most of what's on this site is built for a student revising alone at 9pm — this page is the same material, aimed at you instead.

The AS readiness check

Ten questions on the number handling AS assumes from the first lesson — standard form, unit prefixes, rearranging before substituting, squared and cubed conversions. Scores each skill separately and shows the method for anything a student got wrong. No login, nothing to sign up for. Send it to an incoming Year 12 group in the first week, or use it as a first-lesson diagnostic.

One thing so it isn't a surprise: a student who scores 8 or below also sees a paid course I run. The check itself is free and complete either way.

Free trainers, if you'd rather point students at practice than print

Teaching 0625 or 9702?

I'll let you know when something new goes live — a new trainer, a free tool, or anything else genuinely worth forwarding to a class. Nothing you'll need to sort through yourself.

And one question, while you're here

There is no teachers' room on this site. The community I run is for students — they post their working and I mark it. You would be welcome in it, but it isn't built for you.

Whether I build a separate one depends on whether it would actually be useful, so I'd rather ask than guess. Tick anything you'd genuinely use. Skip all of it if you only want the emails.

What would make a teachers' room worth your time? Tick any.

Ask me how a specific answer would have been marked — paste the script, get the examiner's read on it What the examiner reports actually said, sorted by topic, so you can use it in a lesson Classroom resources you can edit and reuse, not just print Help with the practical papers — 0625 Paper 5 and 6, 9702 Paper 3 and 5 Other people teaching the same syllabus, especially if you're the only physics teacher in your school A way to send my class in to get their working marked Live sessions I could sit in on, or point a class at

Anything else that would make it worthwhile? Optional.
