Where most tutors lose hours every week
The admin around teaching tends to eat more time than the teaching itself. These are the exact problems TutorLab is built to solve.
The option module is a coin flip
Students choose one of 5 optional modules. If the student's school doesn't emphasise it, the tutor becomes the only safety net.
Required practicals + data analysis
Paper 3 includes data-analysis questions that require students to interpret practical setups they may never have seen.
Quantum and nuclear blur together
Photoelectric, wave-particle duality, nuclear decay, students can state each but fail to link them under "Explain how..." style questions.
How TutorLab helps
Every feature is designed around a UK tutor's working week.
Coverage across all 5 option modules
Pick the student's option when generating and the AI targets that module's specification (Astrophysics, Medical, Engineering, Turning Points, or Electronics).
Data-analysis drills for Paper 3
Generate practice data tables with realistic values and prompts to plot, determine gradient-intercept, propagate uncertainties, and evaluate the method.
Synoptic plans linking quantum and nuclear
Lessons that deliberately bridge topics so students build "explain how A relates to B"-style essay capacity.
Sample plan: AQA A-Level Physics Y13, Photoelectric effect
Learning objective: explain the photoelectric effect as evidence for the photon model of light; apply E = hf − φ. Starter: recall Planck's equation E = hf and work out the energy of a photon at λ = 500 nm (green light). Main: threshold frequency, work function, derivation of Einstein's equation. Why wave theory fails: intensity should cause electrons to be emitted even at low frequency, but experiment shows a sharp cut-off. Worked example: caesium (φ = 1.9 eV) illuminated with UV at λ = 250 nm, calculate max KE of photoelectrons. Mark scheme notes: convert eV to J, convert λ to frequency. 6-mark practice: describe and explain the photoelectric effect with reference to the photon model.

Common questions
Which option modules are supported?
All five current AQA option modules: Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics, Turning Points in Physics, and Electronics.
Can I generate uncertainty-calculation drills?
Yes. Pick "data analysis" when generating and you get tables with raw measurements, expected values, and prompts to compute absolute/percentage uncertainty.
Is the A-Level practical endorsement covered?
The 12 required practicals needed for the endorsement are summarised. The endorsement itself is school-assessed, so TutorLab supports the knowledge side.
