    Course overview

    What Is IPhO?

    The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) is the world's most prestigious high school physics competition. Five students represent each country. The exam consists of theoretical problems and experimental tasks requiring mastery of university-level physics — all within a high school framework.

    Who is it for?
    National team candidates and students who have excelled at USAPhO, BPhO Round 2, or equivalent national olympiads. This track is for the most dedicated and talented physics students aiming for international medals.
    How is it taught?
    Live 1-to-1 online classes with a verified Physics mentor. Your first session is a free trial that maps your level, then classes follow a personal plan. From $25/hour.

    How IPhO mentoring works

    1. Step 1

      Free trial & level check

      Your first 1-to-1 session is free. A Physics mentor works through IPhO problems with you to find exactly where marks are being lost.

    2. Step 2

      Your personal plan

      We write a plan around those gaps, starting with Advanced Classical Mechanics, Thermodynamics & Statistical Physics, Electrodynamics, paced to your exam date.

    3. Step 3

      Live 1-to-1 classes

      Weekly online sessions with the same matched mentor, with practice set between lessons and every mistake reviewed.

    4. Step 4

      Progress updates

      Parents get regular updates on accuracy, pace and readiness. If the mentor fit isn't right, we rematch at no cost.
