What You'll Cover
How PAT mentoring works
- Step 1
Free trial & level check
Your first 1-to-1 session is free. A Physics mentor works through PAT problems with you to find exactly where marks are being lost.
- Step 2
Your personal plan
We write a plan around those gaps, starting with Algebra & Calculus, Trigonometry & Geometry, Mechanics, paced to your exam date.
- Step 3
Live 1-to-1 classes
Weekly online sessions with the same matched mentor, with practice set between lessons and every mistake reviewed.
