Cambridge IGCSE Physics tutor
Theory · Calculations · Practical skills · Abu Dhabi & online
Dr Mohamed Desouky teaches Cambridge IGCSE Physics, with in-person lessons in Khalidiya, near Abu Dhabi Corniche, and live online classes across the UAE and Gulf. The course supports both the 0625 and 0972 syllabuses.
Lessons combine clear explanations with multiple-choice, theory and practical-skills questions, including Paper 6 Alternative to Practical. Online groups cost AED 150 per 90-minute session. Contact Dr Desouky separately for in-person availability, location and fees.
Cambridge candidates take three components: a 45-minute, 40-mark multiple-choice paper; a 1-hour-15-minute, 80-mark theory paper; and either the 1-hour-15-minute Paper 5 Practical Test or the 1-hour, 40-mark Paper 6 Alternative to Practical. The practical component contributes 20% of the qualification.
For 0625, Core candidates take Papers 1 and 3, while Extended candidates take Papers 2 and 4; both routes then take Paper 5 or Paper 6. The 0972 syllabus reports grades on the 9–1 scale. Dr Desouky works from the student's actual syllabus code, tier and component entry rather than treating every Cambridge paper as interchangeable.
Paper 6 assesses the same experimental skills as the practical route without asking the candidate to perform the experiment in the examination. Students must read instruments, organise tables, plot and use graphs, identify variables, plan methods, judge reliability and suggest specific improvements.
Generic phrases such as “repeat the experiment” are rarely enough. Training focuses on matching an improvement to a named limitation, writing a reproducible method, handling significant figures and units consistently, and extracting a conclusion that the data actually supports.
The most expensive mistakes are often small: choosing a plausible distractor without checking the unit, omitting a stage of working, confusing a definition with an explanation, or drawing a best-fit line mechanically. These are assessment problems as much as knowledge problems.
Each topic is therefore practised in all the forms Cambridge uses. A principle learned in words may next appear as a calculation, an unfamiliar graph or an experimental decision, so understanding has to travel between contexts.
Each live online group session lasts 90 minutes and costs AED 150. Schedules are agreed with students and groups, so the class can be placed around school and the relevant examination series.
Weekly homework is checked individually, regular exams show whether methods survive under time, and students have direct WhatsApp access to Dr Desouky for questions between sessions. Feedback is tied to the student's Cambridge component route, including dedicated Paper 6 work where applicable.
The course is for 0625 or 0972 students who want complete teaching, focused paper practice or a structured repair of weak areas. It is especially useful for Extended candidates aiming high, students whose knowledge is stronger than their exam execution, and candidates who need Paper 6 ATP taught as a method rather than a collection of memorised answers.
Dr Desouky teaches Cambridge at IGCSE level. He does not teach Cambridge A-Level Physics; students looking for post-IGCSE physics tuition should check the Edexcel International AS and A Level entry instead.
In their words
I struggled with Paper 6 until Dr. Desouky's Paper 6 class. His step-by-step approach made everything so logical.

After failing Paper 6, I was losing hope. His paper 6 class completely changed my understanding of experimental physics.

Questions
Yes. Dr Desouky offers in-person physics lessons in Khalidiya, near Abu Dhabi Corniche, and live online groups for students across the UAE and Gulf. Online groups cost AED 150 for 90 minutes; message him to confirm the exact location, availability and fees for in-person lessons.
Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 and Cambridge IGCSE (9–1) Physics 0972. Teaching and paper practice are matched to the student's syllabus code, tier and component entry.
Yes. Paper 6 ATP is taught directly, including measurement, tables, graphs, variables, planning, conclusions, reliability and evaluation. It is a 1-hour, 40-mark paper worth 20% of the qualification.
For 0625, Core candidates take Papers 1 and 3 plus Paper 5 or 6; Extended candidates take Papers 2 and 4 plus Paper 5 or 6. The course follows the route selected by the student's school or examination centre.
AED 150 for each 90-minute live online group session. Weekly homework is checked individually, regular exams are set, and students receive direct WhatsApp access to Dr Desouky.
No. Dr Desouky teaches Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 and 0972, but he does not teach Cambridge A-Level. His post-IGCSE Physics teaching follows the Pearson Edexcel International AS and A Level specifications.
