I'm going to explain how to modify comparative adjectives.
To describe a small difference, you can use the words a bit, a little or slightly, for example:
Tom is a bit taller than me.
Tom is a little taller than me.
And Tom is slightly taller than me.
To compare big differences, you can use a lot, significantly, far and much, for example:
Physics is much more difficult than history.
Physics is a lot more difficult than history.
Physics is far more difficult than history.
Or: Physics is significantly more difficult than history.
The final thing to mention is which words can't be used with comparative adjectives.
Very and really can never be used in a comparative sentence.
Compare comparative adjectives with a bit, a little, slightly for small differences,
or a lot, significantly, far and much for big differences.
