Q: What does Physics Tuition - O-Level Foundations That Future-Proof Your Physics Journey cover?
A: Why mastering core O-Level Physics topics-forces, energy, electricity-and WA-style exam craft still matters in today's curriculum.

TL;DR
• O-Level Physics is not "just for the exam"-the same vector logic, energy concepts and uncertainty rules resurface in upper-sec SUVAT, fields and practical papers.
• Strategic tuition that locks down Newton II, work-energy-power and circuit analysis-plus timed-paper stamina-gives students a two-term head-start.
• This guide shows how to map O-Level chapters onto later milestones, when to slot tuition around Weighted Assessments (WAs), and which pillar posts you can hand parents tonight.

1 Why O-Level Physics Skills Still Pay Off

O-Level chapter	Later echo	Hidden grade lever
Forces & moments	Upper-sec free-body diagrams → A-Level Paper 2 dynamics	Vector-sign discipline saves 4-6 marks
Work, energy, power	Work-energy theorem; SHM energy graphs	Prevents "joule vs watt" slips
Waves & light	Electromagnetic induction & AC theory	Phase-difference intuition
Electricity & magnetism	Potential divider; alternating current

Official O-Level	Typical School WA
Paper 1 MCQ 40 x 1 mark / 1 h	25-30 MCQ / 35 min
Paper 2 Structured 80 marks / 1 h 45	2-3 topics, 45-60 min
Paper 3 Practical twenty percent	School-set practical, 10-15 percent

Focus	Concrete move
Timed-paper stamina	90-min mixed-topic sets fortnightly
Spreadsheet LINEST	Pendulum $T^2-L$ lab → quote $g = 9.79 \pm 0.05 \space \pu{m.s-2}$
WA rescue line	Targeted WhatsApp screencast reply within a day (confirm slot availability)

Myth	How it kills marks	2-min tutor hack
"Current gets used up."	Wrong $I$ arrows → 3-mark loss	Twin-ammeter demo & Kirchhoff walk-through
"Vectors are just arrows."	Sign slip in $F_x$ on slope Q	Dot-and-colour component drill
"Sig figs matter only at the end."	Misquoted $g$ ± error → ACE penalty	Sig-fig ladder rule
