Book a free demo classAcross NXTutors, most home-tuition sessions fall between ₹800 and ₹2,500 an hour; Classes 11–12, IB/IGCSE and JEE/NEET sit toward the upper end; specialists for IB HL or JEE Advanced can charge more. Tutors set their own fee, and you see each tutor's fee before the demo class.
Monthly example: 3 one-hour classes a week ≈ ₹9,600–₹32,500 a month (12–13 classes at ₹800–₹2,500 an hour). An example, not a quote: your tutor's own fee decides the real figure.

Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) tests three things at once: knowledge through multiple choice, written explanation and calculation in a theory paper, and experimental skill through a practical or written alternative. Each candidate sits three papers, and the tier the school chooses decides which grades are possible. In Faridabad, where IGCSE is studied by a smaller group than CBSE or the Haryana board, a tutor who knows 0625 well may come from another part of the city or teach online. This page from the NXTutors Academic Team explains the papers, the tier decision, the six topics, how to prepare for the practical component at home, the habits that protect marks, and how tutors reach your sector. It sits under physics home tutors in Faridabad and the IGCSE tutors in Faridabad hub.
| Component | Core | Extended | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice: 40 questions, 45 minutes | Paper 1 | Paper 2 | 30% |
| Theory: 80 marks, 1 hour 15 minutes | Paper 3 | Paper 4 | 50% |
| Practical: 40 marks | Paper 5, a practical test of 1 hour 15 minutes, or Paper 6, an Alternative to Practical of 1 hour; the school decides | 20% | |
Calculators are allowed throughout. Cambridge weights the assessment objectives at 50% knowledge with understanding, 30% handling information and solving problems, and 20% experimental skills, so recall alone covers only half of the marks. Exams run in June and November, and schools in India can also enter candidates in March.
Core candidates can be awarded grades C to G; Extended candidates A* to G. Cambridge advises that students expected to reach grade C or above be entered for Extended. Extended adds content such as momentum and impulse, and its theory paper asks for longer chains of reasoning and harder calculations. If your child is near the boundary, ask the school in Grade 9 how and when the tier is decided, and plan tuition so the Extended-only content is covered before the mock exams in Grade 10.
| Topic | Typical weak spot |
|---|---|
| Motion, forces and energy | Reading speed-time graphs; turning moments; efficiency; pressure in liquids |
| Thermal physics | Explaining with the particle model; specific heat capacity sums; loose wording about convection |
| Waves | Ray diagrams for lenses; critical angle; uses of each part of the electromagnetic spectrum |
| Electricity and magnetism | Parallel circuits; potential dividers; transformers and induction |
| Nuclear physics | Half-life read from a graph or table; balancing decay equations |
| Space physics | Often left until last in school and then rushed; orbits and the life cycle of stars |
The syllabus asks students to "recall and use" many equations, so there is no shortcut: a tutor should help your child build one equation sheet from the syllabus itself, with units, in the first month, and test it a little in every session.
Paper 5 and Paper 6 assess the same experimental skills in the same contexts; Paper 6 asks about experiments on paper rather than having the student do them. The syllabus lists the contexts: measuring lengths, volumes, forces and short times; springs and balances; timing motion and oscillations; heating and cooling; circuits to measure current and potential difference; and optics with mirrors, lenses, prisms and glass blocks.
Most of the marks come from planning and handling data, which can be practised at home: naming the independent and dependent variables, saying how others will be kept constant, choosing a sensible range and number of readings, drawing a results table with units in the column headings, choosing a graph scale, and judging the method. A spring with a few coins in a bag, or a pendulum and a phone stopwatch, is enough to make Paper 6 real. A useful exercise is to time ten swings rather than one and ask the student why the answer is more reliable; it brings out the idea of uncertainty that the later questions test.
Consider a typical thermal physics item: an electric kettle of power 2.0 kW heats 0.50 kg of water from 20 °C to 60 °C, and the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/(kg °C). Calculate the energy needed, then the time taken, and explain why the real time is longer.
Write the equation first, ΔE = mcΔT, then substitute: 0.50 × 4200 × 40, giving 84 000 J. Next, time = energy ÷ power = 84 000 ÷ 2000 = 42 s. Each line earns its own mark, and the unit closes each answer.
Energy is also transferred to the kettle itself and to the surroundings by heating, so more than 84 000 J must be supplied and the water takes longer than 42 s. One clear cause, stated with the physics words, beats three vague ones.
Students who lose marks on items like this usually do so in predictable ways: the temperature change written as 60 instead of 40, power left in kilowatts, or an explanation that says "heat is lost" without saying where it goes. A tutor who marks against the published scheme will point these out each time until they stop.
The multiple-choice paper needs its own practice. Forty questions in 45 minutes leaves a little over a minute for each, so students should answer the quick recall items first, and mark the calculation items to come back to. Timed sets of ten questions, reviewed straight afterwards, build that pace without the fatigue of a full paper.
| Stage | Focus | Sessions a week |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 9 | Motion, forces and energy secured; equation sheet built; practical planning introduced | One |
| Grade 10, first half | Electricity, waves and the remaining topics as school teaches them; topic-wise past questions | One or two |
| Before the mocks | Timed multiple choice and theory papers; Paper 5 or 6 practice | Two |
| Final weeks | Full sets of three papers; error log; weak topics revisited | Two or three |
Students joining a Cambridge school from CBSE or the Haryana board usually know the physics content but are new to the practical paper and to command words, so the first months should focus there. After Grade 10, some students go on to the IB Diploma, where Physics adds data-based questions and an internal investigation; our IB physics tutors in Faridabad page explains that stage. Others move to an Indian board for Classes 11 and 12, and families weighing that choice can read our Cambridge and Edexcel guide and the Class 11 stream guide.
Sectors 28 to 31 and 37 and Ballabhgarh are on the Violet Line too; see the Faridabad tutors page for every locality.
Online lessons widen the choice of IGCSE specialists, which helps in a smaller group, and most theory and multiple choice practice works well on a shared screen. The practical paper is the exception: a tutor in the room can watch the student take readings from a spring or time a pendulum and correct the method immediately. A sensible mix is a home session every week or two for practical skills and written answers, with online sessions for past-paper work. Our home and online comparison gives more detail.
We send two or three matched tutors with their fees shown up front; the first class is a free demo, and a later change of tutor is free. The Verified badge appears only after the tutor passes our ID check.
Across NXTutors, most home-tuition sessions fall between ₹800 and ₹2,500 an hour; Classes 11–12, IB/IGCSE and JEE/NEET sit toward the upper end; specialists for IB HL or JEE Advanced can charge more. See the pricing guide and Faridabad tuition fees.
Send the tier, practical paper, exam series, grade, your sector and free slots, then book the free demo class or look through tutor profiles. For the other Cambridge subjects, see IGCSE maths and IB and IGCSE chemistry tutors in Faridabad.
Send us the tier, whether the school uses Paper 5 or Paper 6, the exam series, the grade and your sector. We shortlist two or three tutors who teach Cambridge 0625 and can reach you or teach online, show each fee before the demo, and the first class is free.
Every candidate sits three: a 40-question multiple-choice paper of 45 minutes (30%), a theory paper of 80 marks and 1 hour 15 minutes (50%), and a practical component of 40 marks (20%), either the Paper 5 practical test or the Paper 6 Alternative to Practical.
Core allows grades C to G and Extended allows A* to G. Cambridge advises entering students expected to reach C or above for Extended. Ask the school in Grade 9 how the tier is decided, and make sure Extended-only content is covered before the Grade 10 mocks.
Most marks come from planning and data handling: naming variables, controlling others, choosing ranges, drawing tables with units and plotting graphs. A spring with some coins or a pendulum timed on a phone is enough to practise. A tutor can work through past Paper 6 questions with your child.
Yes. The syllabus asks students to recall and use many equations. A good approach is to build one equation sheet from the syllabus in the first month, with units for every quantity, and test it briefly in each session rather than leaving memorisation to the last weeks.
Yes, and online widens the choice of Cambridge specialists. Theory and multiple-choice practice work well on screen. Practical skills are easier to coach in person, so many Faridabad families mix a home session every week or two with online past-paper sessions in between, which also helps on heavy-traffic evenings.
