Per mia figlia e anche per me come genitore è stata una esperienza assolutamente positiva che mi sento di consigliare!
Why choose Up to Ten for physics tutoring
Up to Ten offers physics tutoring on-site in Milan at Via Giuseppe Frua, at home and online, with specialist tutors for every level — from high school to university Physics 1 and 2. We cover mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, waves, relativity and quantum mechanics. Every path is calibrated to the school syllabus and tracked on the Up to Connect platform.
From the formula to the phenomenon
Physics isn't learned from books alone — you understand it when you see the phenomenon inside the formula. The Up to Ten method always starts from physical intuition, then moves to formalism. A kinematics problem isn't an algebra exercise: it's an object moving through space. Once the student visualises it, solving it follows naturally.
Targeted gap diagnosis
Difficulties in physics at high school or university almost always come from somewhere else: a maths gap (derivatives, integrals, vectors), a concept never fully clarified (what really is a force?), or an unstable problem-solving method. In the initial assessment we identify where the thread broke — then we rebuild from there.
Tutors who speak your physics
The physics of a scientific high school, Physics 1 at Politecnico and the physics of the TOLC-I are different courses, with different language and different approaches. Each of our tutors specialises in a specific range — no generalists.
The goal is intuition
We don't work to keep you tied to tutoring. The goal is for you to see a new problem and know where to start — without needing us. Independence is the real outcome.
From everyday life to rigour
Physics describes real things — balls that fall, engines that heat up, currents that flow. We start from concrete examples, then add mathematical formalism. Not the other way around. Once the concept is clear, equations become a tool, not an obstacle.
Our approach
The Up to Ten method for physics
Four phases calibrated to the level. The tutor guides intuition, the platform tracks progress, the student builds independence.
Four phases calibrated to the level. The tutor guides intuition, the platform tracks progress, the student builds independence.
01
Initial analysis
We identify the learning style (who visualises, who experiments, who reasons through analogies), the maths level (often the real gap in physics is maths), and problem-solving blocks. The plan starts here.
02
Structured plan
A path calibrated to the specific syllabus, focused on the critical topics. Measurable goals week by week.
03
Lesson + practice
Every lesson alternates visualisation of the phenomenon, mathematical formalisation, guided problem-solving and independent practice. The tutor doesn''t do the exercise for you: they guide your reasoning until you can do it alone.
04
Review and adjustment
Every week the tutor reviews progress on Up to Connect. If a topic isn''t solid, we go back. If you move faster, we raise the bar — the plan adapts to you.
“You don''t learn to solve physics problems by doing many problems. You learn by understanding what you''re calculating. That''s why the Up to Ten Method always starts from the phenomenon before the formula — and the specialist tutor knows exactly when to bridge the two.”

Insegnati molto preparati e sempre attenti alle necessità dei ragazzi. Grazie a loro mia figlia è migliorata molto sia in matematica che fisica. Molto bravi!
Comprensione di matematica e fisica migliorata
Staff serio e professionale. Mi hanno aiutata molto a comprendere matematica e fisica. Grazie!!
Matematica e fisica recuperate
Mio figlio si è trovato benissimo, aveva problemi con matematica e fisica ma, dopo poche lezioni con un tutor molto valido, ha capito tutto e sta cominciando ad appassionarsi a queste due materie.
Recupero lacune in materie scientifiche e latino
Up to ten mi era stato suggerito da un’amica e a mia volta, dopo averlo provato, l’ho suggerito ad altri genitori i cui figli avevano necessità di recuperare lacune in materie scientifiche, ma anche in latino. E’ diventato un punto di riferimento per noi. Anna, la titolare, è eccezionale come insegnante, disponibilità e professionalità, così come i tutor che seleziona e che seguono i ragazzi.
Debito di chimica recuperato
Ci siamo trovati molto bene da Up to ten, mio figlio ha superato il debito di chimica con le lezioni di Pasquale che ha saputo spiegare in modo chiaro gli argomenti ed è stato sempre molto disponibile! Grazie!
Recupero materie scientifiche dopo anno USA
Da Up to Ten abbiamo trovato insegnanti preparati e attenti che hanno seguito nelle materie scientifiche nostro figlio al rientro dall’anno negli Stati Uniti aiutandolo a recuperare importanti materie di indirizzo con un lavoro attento e personalizzato. La titolare, Anna Paccagnella è una persona molto empatica che ha organizzato in modo eccellente il percorso di recupero. Siamo rimasti molto colpiti dalla proposta di seguire anche la parte di relazione con i professori del liceo per avere un feedback sul lavoro di recupero. Grazie.
Chimica recuperata con 8,5
Mio figlio in 4* liceo scientifico ha trovato un ottimo professore di chimica e ha recuperato la materia con un meritatissimo 8.5 ! Grazie consigliatissimi
Tre materie recuperate in estate
Mi sono rivolta a up to ten circa un'anno fa. Hanno aiutato a recuperare tre materie durante l'estate a mio figlio di 16 anni. da settembre ci aiutato con il tutoring per alcune materie. Ci troviamo davvero benissimo. Disponibili, super preparati e davvero di grande aiuto. Attenti alle esigenze dei ragazzi. Io e mio figlio felici di averli conosciuti.
Preparazione test d'ingresso universitari
Davvero un ottima esperienza. Ho affrontato diverse materie scientifiche per prepararmi ai test d’ingresso ed ho trovato molta disponibilità con docenti preparati e professionali. Un ringraziamento grande va a Pasquale che oltre ad essere un insegnante eccellente ha molta pazienza e passione. Con lui ho affrontato Chimica, materia che avevo trascurato negli anni, e mi ha passato sicurezza ma sopratutto entusiasmo nel riprenderla in mano. Grazie ! Super consigliata !
Corso intensivo Excel completato
Sono stata da UptoTen per un corso intensivo di Excel. I tutor sono bravissimi, efficaci e smart! super consigliato

Un ringraziamento speciale ad Anna che ha scelto per mia figlia una tutor davvero straordinaria. Vi consiglio vivamente di affidarvi a loro.
FAQ
FAQ about Fisica
The initial meeting is an assessment: the tutor analyses the current level, checks the maths foundations (often the real gap in physics) and defines the path goals together with the student. It's the first step of a structured plan, not a generic lesson.
From €34/hour for one-to-one lessons. Rates vary by school level, format and number of participants: lessons in pairs or small groups have a more favourable rate. See all prices.
Yes. On-site in Milan at Via Giuseppe Frua, at home in the Milan area, or online with a shared digital whiteboard and maths writing optimised for physics formulas.
Yes, very much so. Physics 1 and 2 at Politecnico require a solid command of derivatives, integrals, vectors, and multivariable calculus. We have tutors specialised in engineering at Polimi. If you're preparing for the TOLC-I or the TOL Polimi, see the dedicated pages.
Through the Up to Connect platform: goal sheets, reports after every lesson, progress visible in real time to the student and parents.
Yes. Tutors trained in teaching for SpLDs (including dyscalculia, which is particularly relevant in physics), structured concept maps, digital compensatory tools.
The "physics problem" block is almost always methodological, not knowledge-based. We teach a 4-step framework — understand the phenomenon, identify the laws, write the equations, solve — and drill it until it becomes automatic.
Yes, with the Up to Connect parent dashboard: goals, progress, next steps — updated after every lesson. Discover the section for parents.
Yes. IB Physics (SL/HL), A-Level Physics, IGCSE Physics with native-speaker or bilingual tutors. See the international schools page.
Physics in the final three years of high school, and especially at university, requires solid maths — derivatives, integrals, vectors, differential equations. We often work in parallel on maths tutoring to fill in the foundations before moving on.
