Headstart for Physics 3-4 during the summer holidays ?

I am looking for a head start for Physics over the summer holidays which will cover both unit 3 and 4 properly .Although it is too early to ask around  I do not want to miss out on programme deadlines  and regret it later on ! Can someone please suggest me some good tutoring classes,programmes or teachers for physics  :)
 I will really appreciate  if someone could give me any other suggestions regarding ways of  finishing physics 3-4 before !

Thanking everyone in advance !

In your chem thread also holds true for physics, aside from specific topics to revise.

I would revise kinematics and energy conservation from units 1&2 because you will use all of this knowledge next year too.
 Learning at least the basics of circular motion would also be very helpful, as it is used a fair bit. I I found KhanAcademy useful for this, but I'm sure that there are many other resources which would also be great.
In regards to learning about fields, many of these concepts are 3D and harder to learn from a book (not impossible though), so either IRL or video is probably the way to go.
I would start thinking about the EPI and how you are going to manage it timewise fairly early, for me it has been the most stressful academic thing in VCE.

Your teachers are also a good resource in regards to how you should prepare, they know both the subject and you. Teachers are the most valuable resource in VCE, I would get into the habit of asking their advice where you are uncertain. (Doesn't mean you cant ask ATARNotes too,  but probably don't ask only ATARNotes unless your teacher is busy)

Thanks miniturtle once again!One more question did you take or are you considering any tutoring for physics and chem?If yes can you suggest me some good teachers,please!
And when is the best time to take it?Like at the start of the year or in the end for revison?

P.s Best of luck for your ATAR :)

No problem :)

I haven't recieved tutoring for any of my subjects so I can't really give you any advice for that sorry. My gut instinct would be throughout the year to get a deeper understanding of content and/or get ahead. In my opinion, end of year revision should not include much going over the content, I think it is far better to do this throughout the year.

Thankyou :)
