What your learners face in the summer 2027 paper
Physics is one of the subjects that decides a science-branch learner's total. It is marked out of 60, the pass mark is 30, and every one of those marks feeds the percentage that Tansik reads at the end of the summer. In the 2026 first stage of Tansik, medicine opened at 94.06%, dentistry at 93.28% and pharmacy at 92.03%, so a learner aiming at those faculties cannot leave a single physics mark on the table.

In 2026 the 44 multiple-choice questions carried 56 marks and were marked electronically from a bubble sheet, leaving only 4 marks for written answers. That balance moves sharply this year. From the 2026/2027 school year, Secondary 3 papers are set at 50% multiple choice and 50% essay, so roughly half of the physics paper will now be read by an examiner. A tutor who drilled bubble-sheet speed alone will find that half the work is missing; this role asks you to teach both halves with equal care.
The ministry's specification for the 2026 paper spread questions across the whole syllabus, with nothing deleted or lightened, and set them at simple, middle and higher cognitive levels, weighted at 1 or 2 marks by relative difficulty. The press listed the chapter marks as 8, 12, 14, 8, 7, 4, 3 and 4. No chapter can be skipped, and the heaviest weighs nearly a quarter of the paper on its own.
The eight chapters you will teach
The 2027 Secondary 3 syllabus falls into two units: current electricity and electromagnetism first, then an introduction to modern physics. Inside those units sit eight chapters, and a tutor in this role teaches every one of them with the same confidence.
- Electric current, with Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws: series and parallel networks, internal resistance, and the loop equations learners must write with consistent signs.
- The magnetic effect of an electric current: fields around wires and coils, forces on conductors, and the direction rules that go with them.
- Electromagnetic induction: Faraday's law, Lenz's rule, generators and transformers.
- Alternating current circuits: effective values, reactance, impedance and the phase relationships between voltage and current.
- Wave-particle duality: the photoelectric effect, photons and matter waves.
- Atomic spectra: energy levels and the lines they produce.
- The laser: how stimulated emission and population inversion produce coherent light.
- Modern electronics: semiconductors, the p-n junction and the devices built from it.
You teach in Arabic, the teaching language of the Thanaweya Amma course, and bring in the English physics term wherever it makes an idea easier to hold. A learner who meets "impedance" or "threshold frequency" in both languages remembers it longer.
Where Secondary 3 learners lose marks
Learners booking a physics tutor are mostly in the science branches, and the same handful of ideas trips them up year after year. A strong applicant already knows these traps from the inside and has a way of teaching past each one.
- EMF and terminal potential difference blur together until the learner sees the internal resistance drawn inside the cell and works the drop across it.
- Signs in a Kirchhoff loop go wrong when the learner changes direction halfway round; one fixed convention, written at the top of every solution, ends that.
- The direction of an induced current and Lenz's rule need a physical picture first, the opposing field, before any hand rule.
- Phase and impedance in AC circuits make sense once the learner draws the phasor diagram before reaching for a formula.
- The photoelectric effect raises one stubborn question every year: does the frequency or the brightness of the light decide whether electrons leave the metal? Learners who settle it with a threshold graph stop losing that mark.
- Chapter 8 is often read in a hurry because it comes last in the year. Its marks count exactly like the others, and a tutor plans the calendar so it gets proper time.
The 2026 results show why this work matters. The science branch registered 543,120 learners, and 75.4% of those who sat its papers passed, against 81.6% in the mathematics branch. Many of the learners who come to you will already be strong; the ones who are not will need you to find the exact idea that is costing them marks.
The Baccalaureate side: Secondary 2 physics on the medicine track
The Egyptian Baccalaureate is the optional, free three-year system set up by Law 169 of 2025, and its certificate carries the same standing as the Thanaweya Amma. More than 95% of Secondary 1 learners chose it, by the ministry's count, so the number of Baccalaureate learners reaching Secondary 2 is large and growing. Ministerial Decision 213 of 2025 has learners in Medicine and Life Sciences study either mathematics or physics in Secondary 2, then advanced biology and chemistry in Secondary 3. Those who choose physics need a tutor who knows its textbook well.
| Part | Chapter | Lessons |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1 | Mechanics | 12 |
| Part 1 | Oscillations and Waves | 11 |
| Part 2 | Gases and Heat | 6 |
| Part 2 | Static Electricity | 6 |
| Part 2 | Electric Current and Circuits | 2 |
| Part 2 | Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction | 5 |
| Part 2 | The Quantum Nature of Light and Matter | 3 |
Chapter numbering restarts in Part 2, so a lesson numbered 1-1 exists in both parts. Ask the learner which part before you open a lesson reference.

The book teaches from the phenomenon outwards. Each lesson moves through a lesson question, a prediction, an exploration, a worked example and an exam-style question, and its problems are set in places learners know: the Nile, Lake Nasser, the metro and the North Coast. The very first lesson question asks about a ferry crossing the Nile, which leads straight into splitting a velocity into components. A tutor who follows that sequence on screen, asking the learner to predict before calculating, is teaching the book the way it was written.
Baccalaureate learners get stuck in their own places: splitting a projectile's velocity, signs for moments and work, gas laws and the temperature scale they need, electric field set against electric potential, the direction rules in magnetism, and the short quantum chapter at the end of Part 2. The textbook comes in Arabic and English editions, and you teach in whichever language the learner's school uses.
Since the decisions taken on 17 August 2026, Secondary 2 learners sit a compulsory first attempt free of charge, and may return in July for an optional second one for a fee, with the higher mark counting. Papers are 50% multiple choice and 50% essay, and a learner must finish 60% of the assessments set week by week and month by month before the first attempt. Your lessons support that steady rhythm of school assessments as much as the final exam.
What a physics lesson looks like on screen
A lesson runs on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, and short messages between lessons go through WhatsApp. Physics is a drawing subject, so the shared whiteboard does most of the work: you sketch the circuit, the learner labels the currents, and both of you see the loop equation take shape line by line.
A typical Secondary 3 lesson on electromagnetic induction
Open with last lesson's error
The learner reworks the one question they got wrong in the previous homework, aloud, while you watch the method.
Picture before rule
You draw a magnet moving into a coil and ask which way the induced field must point to oppose the change. The learner commits to an answer before you confirm it.
Worked example, half shown
You set up a Faraday's law calculation and stop at the step that matters. The learner writes the next line, units included.
Timed multiple choice
Six questions in the bubble-sheet style, against the clock, then marked together with the reason behind every wrong option.
One essay answer in full
The learner writes a complete written answer and sends a photo of it. You mark it for method, unit and final statement, the three things an examiner reads.
Close and record
You set the next practice, then record the lesson in the tutor app with a note on what moved and what still needs work.
Hand rules translate well to video. Hold your own hand up to the camera for the right-hand grip rule, then ask the learner to hold theirs up for the next case. It takes ten seconds and shows you at once whether the direction idea has landed.
How the physics year runs for a tutor
The 2026/2027 school year runs from 12 September 2026 to Thursday 24 June 2027. Thanaweya Amma first-round exams follow, starting 26 June and ending 21 July 2027, so for a Secondary 3 learner the year has a fixed end point that every lesson builds towards.
- September to January: the electricity and electromagnetism unit, chapter by chapter, with regular timed practice from the first month.
- Midyear break, 23 January through 4 February 2027: a natural window for longer sessions that consolidate the first unit before the second term begins.
- February to May: the modern physics unit, with careful time given to the later chapters so none is rushed.
- Through the year: the 10 indicative physics papers the ministry published on its electronic library for the 2026 exams, worked under exam conditions and reviewed question by question.
- Around the Baccalaureate sittings: the compulsory free first attempt, then the optional July one for a fee, with revision tuned to each.
- Late June to July for Secondary 3: short, focused sessions in the days around the physics paper.
The second term and the weeks before each exam window carry the heaviest revision in this role, so a tutor plans those months around timed papers and short sessions on the chapters a learner finds hardest.
The physics applicant who stands out
You will join our network of Egyptian tutors, and the physicists among them share a recognisable set of habits. They hold real depth in the subject and know the current ministry book page by page. They show a step and then ask the learner for the next one. They are exact about units and directions, they train for the 2027 paper as it now stands with its larger essay half, and they stay calm when a certificate-year learner does not.
For Baccalaureate learners the same tutor teaches from the phenomenon, follows the new textbook's sequence, and works in the same language as the learner's own book. Patience and respect come first in every lesson, whatever the learner's starting point.
