High School Final and Public Exams

The senior secondary years (Grade 10-12) are a crucial period for students, where performance directly impacts their academic future and post-secondary aspirations. Recognizing that students arrive with varying skill levels and specific course requirements, our program begins with a comprehensive written diagnostic assessment. Based on these results, we develop a truly customized learning plan designed to efficiently target areas needing improvement, master complex concepts, and avoid unnecessary repetition.

We specialize in providing rigorous preparation for provincial final exams (e.g., Grade 12 provincial diploma exams across Canada) and crucial university-level prerequisites such as Calculus, Advanced Functions, and Pre-Calculus. Our expert tutors possess the advanced qualifications to guide students through the most challenging aspects of these curricula. Additionally, for Canadian students pursuing international pathways, we also offer tailored preparation for major global exams like SAT, IGCSE, IBDP, and HKDSE. Our focus is on equipping every student with the confidence and deep understanding required to excel on their final assessments and confidently embark on their chosen post-secondary journey.

Target: Suitable for High School Students (typically Grade 10 to 12).

Assessment: Students will take a Diagnostic Test before enrollment.

Class Time: Once or twice a week, 1.5 hours class each time, depending on student’s need.

Junior High School

The crucial Grade 7 to Grade 9 years in secondary school are pivotal for building advanced math skills and shaping a student’s confidence for high school. Our comprehensive program not only strengthens foundational knowledge but also expertly introduces core topics like algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and probability – concepts essential for success in subjects across science, technology, and economics.

We meticulously tailor learning plans to each student’s needs, understanding the unique demands of Canadian provincial math curricula . Using a powerful combination of mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written methods, we ensure students don’t just memorize formulas, but truly understand the ‘why’ behind these more abstract concepts. Our curriculum not only meets but often surpasses these provincial expectations, alongside international benchmarks like IBMYP and British Year 7-9. This holistic approach ensures students are exceptionally well-prepared for their chosen high school math streams and future post-secondary (university/college) requirements across Canada, equipping them with the confidence and critical thinking skills to excel.

Target: Suitable for Junior High School Students (typically Grade 7 to 9).

Assessment: Students will take a Diagnostic Test before enrollment.

Class Time: Once or twice a week, 1.5 hours class each time, depending on student’s need.

Primary School

In primary school, mathematics truly forms the bedrock for all future academic and life success. Our comprehensive program ensures students not only master essential skills like computation, advanced problem-solving, fractions, decimals, and percentages, but also confidently explore enrichment topics such as geometry, measurement, and data analysis.

Our unique approach is significantly influenced by the globally acclaimed Singapore Math curriculum, renowned for its emphasis on conceptual understanding and logical reasoning. We go beyond mere memorization, actively cultivating strong number sense – helping students understand how math works and why it makes sense. Through personalized learning plans and expert instruction that adapts to each student’s needs, we build profound confidence and self-esteem, thoroughly preparing them for the increasing challenges of secondary school and a lifelong appreciation for mathematics.

Target: Suitable for Grade 1 to Grade 6 Students.

Assessment: Students will take a Diagnostic Test before enrollment.
