Edexcel IGCSE Physics Modular tutor
International GCSE modular course · Unit-by-unit exam preparation
Dr Mohamed Desouky teaches the modular Edexcel International GCSE Physics course, with lessons and exam practice matched to each unit. Study in person in Khalidiya, near Abu Dhabi Corniche, or join live online groups from the UAE and Gulf.
The modular qualification is 4XPH1, made up of units 4WPH1 and 4WPH2. It is a separate route from the linear 4PH1 course. Online groups cost AED 150 per 90-minute session; contact Dr Desouky for in-person availability, location and fees.
Unit 1, 4WPH1/1P, and Unit 2, 4WPH2/1P, are each externally assessed in a 1-hour-40-minute written examination worth 90 marks and 50% of the qualification. Both units are untiered and use multiple-choice, short-answer, calculation and extended open-response questions.
The two unit results must be aggregated through the 4XPH1 cash-in to obtain the final International GCSE Physics grade. The route was first taught from September 2024, with its first examinations and certification in 2025.
Unit 1 places forces and motion, electricity, energy resources and transfers, and the first part of solids, liquids and gases into one assessment. This creates useful links—energy appears in mechanics, circuits and generation—but also means formula selection and unit discipline must remain reliable across very different contexts.
Teaching is sequenced around those links, then tightened to the 4WPH1 paper. Students practise switching from a motion graph to a circuit calculation or an evaluation of energy resources without losing the command word or the physical model.
Unit 2 assesses waves; ideal gases; magnetism and electromagnetism; radioactivity and particles; and astrophysics. The content becomes less directly visible, so diagrams, proportional reasoning and precise explanations matter more.
Practical investigations are embedded across the specification and experimental skills are assessed in writing. Unit 2 preparation therefore includes planning, variables, data, graphs and evaluation alongside the conceptual work.
Each 90-minute live online group session costs AED 150, with schedules agreed with students and groups. The scheme of work follows the unit the student is preparing to sit, rather than borrowing a linear 4PH1 timetable.
Weekly homework is checked individually and regular exams are used within each unit, so weaknesses are visible before the 90-mark paper. Direct WhatsApp access lets students ask Dr Desouky about feedback or a difficult specification point between sessions.
This entry is for students whose school or examination centre has confirmed the modular separate-science Physics route: unit codes 4WPH1/1P and 4WPH2/1P, with cash-in code 4XPH1. It is useful both for students beginning Unit 1 and for those moving into Unit 2 who need a unit-specific revision and assessment plan.
It is not the linear 4PH1 route. Before joining, students should check the code on their school timetable or statement of entry; that single detail determines which content map, paper structure and homework sequence they need.
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.
The qualification cash-in code is 4XPH1. Its mandatory units are Physics Unit 1, 4WPH1/1P, and Physics Unit 2, 4WPH2/1P.
It was first taught from September 2024. The first unit examinations were available in 2025, with first certification in 2025.
Each unit examination lasts 1 hour 40 minutes, is worth 90 marks and contributes 50% of the final modular qualification.
No. 4XPH1 is the cash-in for the modular route using 4WPH1/1P and 4WPH2/1P. The linear 4PH1 route is assessed through Papers 1P and 2P. Students should confirm their entry code before selecting a course.
Teaching follows the student's current unit and exam date. Online groups last 90 minutes and cost AED 150 per session, with timings agreed directly. Weekly homework is checked individually, regular unit exams are set, and WhatsApp access is direct.
