Physics
(Junior Cycle Science, Leaving Cert & University Level)
Embedded Files
At Grade+ Tutoring & Grinds, we make Physics engaging and accessible for both Leaving Certificate and university students. We explore key topics like Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Waves, and Electricity, with a focus on making complex concepts clear and manageable. University students dive into advanced areas such as Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics, and Relativity, gaining in-depth knowledge and practical skills. Join us to build a strong foundation in Physics and develop a deeper understanding of the subject in a supportive and stimulating environment.
