Physics and Maths Tutor Alternatives
Physics and Maths Tutor is already a very useful free resource, especially for notes, worksheets and past-paper questions organised by topic and exam board, with no account needed for the core material. The best alternative depends on the gap you are trying to fill: Revision Library is strongest for free printable worksheet packs with full mark schemes, while Cognito is the better direction if the missing piece is video-led teaching.

The full comparison
Revision Library
Best for free printable practice with mark schemesRevision Library is the closest fit when the reason for leaving PMT is format rather than quality. A student can open the main library, choose a subject, and download a complete printable pack with the mark scheme included at the back.
For GCSE Maths, the worksheet hub and Higher tier library are built around question packs rather than revision notes. That suits a student who already understands the method, perhaps from a teacher, PMT note page or video, and now needs written practice that can be marked straight away.
The same idea carries across GCSE Science and A Level Maths, which are the subjects many PMT users come back to most often. The maths topic guides and science topic guides add a short explanation before practice, but Revision Library is deliberately more worksheet-led than video-led.
For a mixed revision session, the Maths Pack Builder and Science Pack Builder can combine selected topics into one PDF. That is the reason to put Revision Library first here: if the job is a free printable pack with a full mark scheme and no account, it solves that job directly. Students who mainly want PMT's exam-board sorting may be better staying with PMT and adding Revision Library only for print-ready practice.

Best for revision guides alongside practice papersSave My Exams is a revision platform for GCSE, IGCSE and AS/A Level, with revision notes, exam-style questions, flashcards, mock exams and past papers across more than two dozen subjects. A free account gives access to some content; a paid Premium tier unlocks the rest.
Save My Exams is worth considering when a student wants written revision notes, exam-style questions, flashcards, mock exams and past papers together. It has a free account tier, while Premium content needs a paid subscription and an account.
Maths Genie
Best for free topic-by-topic video lessonsMaths Genie is a GCSE and A Level maths site with past papers, topic worksheets, video lessons and revision guides across several exam boards. A free account adds features like progress tracking, but the core teaching and practice material can be browsed without one.
Maths Genie is a strong maths-only alternative when the missing piece is a free video lesson before the worksheet. Its narrower subject focus is a limitation if the same student also wants science or another A Level subject.
1st Class Maths
Best for practice organised by exam board with topic-frequency data1st Class Maths is a free GCSE and A Level maths revision site organised by exam board (Edexcel and AQA), with topic questions, video links, past papers and a distinctive topic-frequency breakdown showing how often each topic has come up.
1st Class Maths suits GCSE and A Level maths students who want topic questions, video links, past papers and a topic-frequency view. Its exam board coverage is narrower than PMT's: Edexcel and AQA only, not OCR or WJEC.
Cognito
Best for video-led revision across several qualification systemsCognito (previously at cognitoedu.org) is a free video-led revision platform spanning many subjects and qualifications, including GCSE, A Level, IB and AP, with revision notes, a large quiz bank, flashcards and AI-marked exam-style questions.
Cognito is the alternative to try when a student wants video-led teaching, revision notes, quizzes, flashcards and AI-marked exam-style questions without an account. It is broad and free, but it is not focused on printable worksheets.
Seneca Learning
Best for free AI-marked practice questionsSeneca Learning is a free-to-use revision platform for GCSE and A Level, with interactive courses, an AI-marked question bank and an AI study companion; a paid Premium upgrade adds further features.
Seneca fits students who prefer interactive courses and an AI-marked question bank to downloadable worksheets. Its free core is genuine, but signing up appears to be needed to start a course, and Premium pricing could not be confirmed without logging in.

How to choose
Start with the reason you are looking beyond PMT. If the issue is simply that you want one printable pack to hand to a student or use for a revision session, choose a worksheet-first source such as Revision Library rather than another notes archive.
If a topic still needs teaching, begin with video or notes before printing practice. Cognito is stronger for video-led science and wider curriculum coverage, while Maths Genie is useful when a maths method needs to be shown slowly.
If exam-board sorting matters most, do not ignore PMT. Its core strength is free notes, worksheets and past-paper questions arranged by topic and exam board, so it may remain the right base resource even if you add another site for a cleaner pack or a different teaching format.
For teachers, think about marking and classroom flow. A downloadable pack with answers works well for cover, intervention and homework that will be marked from paper; an interactive course or quiz platform is better when you need online completion and question-by-question feedback.
