PHYSICS🇫🇷 American School of Paris

What I liked most about my tutor, Miljan Rupar, was the confidence and seriousness that he exuded throughout our months working together. It was very evident the level of care and attention that he input into each and every lesson that we had; at no moment could I truly say that he wasn't providing me with the utmost care and preparation. The levels of support that he provided me with is something that I have never had the opportunity to experience with any other teacher inside or outside of school. The service from Lanterna was excellent.

My tutor, Miljan Rupar, was very helpful in teaching and fostering an understanding of each unit's concepts, which was essential in understanding how questions needed to be answered and why certain concepts applied at specific times as opposed to others. Lanterna is an excellent site for finding knowledgeable and patient tutors.

I must convey how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to be a student of my tutor, Milijan Rupar. He helped me a lot to improve my outlook during this stressful period. I will be sad to no longer be his student. His passion for teaching is incredibly admirable; he really is the best teacher I have had thus far.

What we cover

The Physics Syllabus, Broken Down

The 2025 syllabus runs across five themes, from motion to quantum physics. Here's the structure, and the topics that trip students up.

Physics was revised for first teaching in 2023, with first examinations in May 2025. The new syllabus is organised into five themes, from space, time and motion to nuclear and quantum physics, and places fresh emphasis on modelling and data. Students take SL or HL and complete a 20% Scientific Investigation.
