About the Author – PhysBuddy

PhysBuddy was created by Fatima B. Gaffar, a qualified Physical Sciences educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. She has taught Physical Sciences across multiple grades and has worked closely with learners preparing for CAPS-aligned examinations, including the NSC (Matric) exams.

Through years in the classroom, Fatima identified common challenges learners face in Physics and Chemistry—such as gaps in foundational understanding, exam anxiety, and difficulty applying concepts to problem-solving questions. PhysBuddy was developed to address these challenges by presenting content in a clear, structured, and learner-friendly way.

PhysBuddy resources combine:

• Simplified theory explanations
• Step-by-step worked examples
• Exam-style questions with detailed solutions
• Practical study and exam strategies

All PhysBuddy books and video lessons are carefully aligned with the South African CAPS curriculum and are designed to help learners build confidence, improve understanding, and achieve better results in Physical Sciences.

Fatima is passionate about making Physical Sciences accessible, logical, and less intimidating, empowering learners to reach their full academic potential.
