Are you studying Nat 5, Higher or Adv Higher Physics this year?
Are you feeling the pressure as tests, prelims and exams approach?
Perhaps you've been following Mr. Mitchell's YouTube videos and want the same resources he uses. Maybe key concepts aren't quite clicking in class. Or you just need a clear structure to revise by, instead of scattered notes and random past papers.
Membership gives you access to premium materials covering the entire Qualifications Scotland physics curriculum, handcrafted by Mr. Mitchell over the past ten years — with full worked solutions and exam-ready practice on our Expert plan giving you the resources and support of a private tutor, at a fraction of the cost. Plans start at just £9.99 a month.
A private physics tutor typically costs at least £160 a month. Full Expert membership saves you £140 of that — and you can cancel any time, so there's no upfront commitment to worry about.

Testimonials
C McNeill
For anyone struggling with any level of physics, I wholeheartedly recommend The Physics Academy. It has been the best academic decision I have made.
Anon
Mr Mitchell’s resources are the best I have ever seen. Clearly a dedicated physics teacher who is inspiring to all students. YouTube videos are extremely helpful and there are so many different resources to help pass exams from flash cards to mini check tests and so much more. Cannot recommend highly enough, thanks Mr Mitchell!
T Olanrewaju
Excellent resources, helped me achieve an A at both National 5 and Higher levels.
Anon
My son found your site, sessions and YouTube channel invaluable. With lots of study I’m confident he will secure an A.
Anon
Just came across your website last week and signed up to the Nat. 5 Expert plan and just want to commend you for the hours of work this has obviously taken and what a fantastic resource it is, to accompany your YouTube channel. The way you have everything laid out with resource materials, past papers, answers and most importantly the working out how to achieve the answers really is a godsend.
Anon
I’ve just signed up to your N5 Expert plan and finding it really useful so far. I’ve got my Prelim on Wednesday for Physics. Loving your YouTube content too!
Anon
I recently used the Retrieval Flashcards in the Expert plan from your website. They were very helpful!
Anon
Your website has been a grade-saver for my prelim, thank you!
Anon
Thank you for all your Higher resources. I'll be coming back for Advanced Higher Physics!
C & P Docherty
Liam's expert tutoring has been a great help to two of our daughters across Higher and Nat. 5 Physics. He has limitless patience and takes time to explain the many complex topics in a way that they understand. Both daughters did well and their results were a testament to the hard work they put in and the keen eye that Liam brought to ensuring they had every chance. We can't recommend Liam highly enough.
N Rundle
I would have no hesitation in recommending Liam. His tutoring skills are first class. He makes Physics easy to understand and gave my son the confidence to achieve an A in his Higher Physics.
Elise H
Mr Mitchell’s informative videos helped me to get A’s at National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher Physics. I would recommend his videos to anyone studying physics.
Anon
I was predicted a D, crashed Higher Physics 5 months late and now I am confident I got an A because of you and the notes I bought from you. That £20 is the best £20 I have ever spent.
P Vazirinejad
I’ve been watching Mr. Mitchell’s videos for over two years, and they’ve helped me tremendously. I managed to get an A in my higher and a B in my advanced physics this year. The videos are incredibly helpful, every single topic is explained in detail, which I appreciate. Thank you Mr. Mitchell!
L Dickson
I just wanted to thank you for such wonderful materials you’ve developed for supporting learners through SQA Physics exams. My son undertook Nat 5 Physics and was struggling with his teacher’s presentation of the course. He has ADHD and is dyslexic and found your short YouTube videos utterly brilliant, so clear and logical, very accessible indeed. Results are in and he gained an A.
J Watt
Mr Mitchell is amazing! Helped me throughout the entire of the Higher course, and now I'm excited for the Advanced Higher course and to get that A! I really recommend using the videos he provides as, for me anyway, they gave me a better understanding of the physics course.
Y Miram
These videos actually saved me in Physics last year when I was doing my Nat 5's (I got an A, woo!), and now I'm doing Higher and still learning from them. You have a particular way of explaining things without overcomplicating them, while still showing us why we do everything. It's amazing, and I wish all teachers could do that as well as you do.
K Harris
Mr Mitchells' YouTube videos have really helped me prepare for my Higher Physics exam. Each key area has an excellent explanation and I especially love how after each theory video, there is a series of worked examples, ideal to pause the video to have a go at yourself. You can then play, to compare to the working and answer Mr Mitchell has demonstrated, to your own. It has really boosted my confidence and I would recommend to any student studying Physics at any level, this year or years to come.
J Mateus
Thanks for the amazing videos with great explanations of tricky topics. They really helped me prepare for my higher and advanced higher physics exams.
R Bullivant
The videos were so useful to reinforce what I had learnt in class. I ended up getting a B in my physics exam and couldn't of done it without your help.
W Marshall
Insanely useful to look back on topics to finally grasp the key points and things to remember - yet going over it with concise and detailed explanations! The key term definitions videos from each topic are also a go-to, and help build your confidence!
Anon
I think I'll pass Advanced Higher Physics thanks to you!
Anon
Thank you Mr Mitchell! Midway through the year I got very ill, and you helped me catch up!
Anon
Your content has been a massive aid in my Higher Physics revision. Thank you!
Anon
Thanks very much for your YouTube videos. My son has been working his way through the Electricity videos on your channel and it's really helping him with a topic he's been struggling with.
Anon
Thank you for creating such an excellent website.
