Many students underestimate the importance of critical analysis and that 20-30% of the marks (application / thinking) are allotted to this section. As a result, many students struggle through this part or worse, ignoring it, which will end up showing in their poor grades. The common mistake student make in critical thinking, is summarizing the plot. Students are expected to perform deep analysis on the text. The key to critical thinking is asking "why". And from there you will be able to derive the significance of the plot, the character, etc, and begin your analysis. Our English tutoring Mississauga provide comprehensive lessons on critical thinking. It takes time to master this, as this is a key foundation skill for high school English.

High School English Tutoring in Mississauga

Common challenges that most students face in English:

1. Students write the way they write a text message.

Students nowadays are accustomed to writing short messages on their phones.  The problem is that these messages have no proper grammatical structure, which becomes a habit and a reflection of their poor English writing.  QEA first disciplines the students into using proper English structure and grammar, and then helps them to develop their writing skills in a step by step approach that involves brainstorming, outlining, and revising.

2. Students are too vague in critical analysis. They get penalized for marks

Often in high school English essays, students only state the plot of the story and neglect the in-depth analysis, which always leads to mark deduction. The student needs to go deep beyond the story; they need to tie their argument to a character or theme.  This portion accounts for a large portion of marks as students progress into senior English courses.

3. Students cannot grasp the key theme and information of a story or poem

Reading comprehension is a critical part of English. Through reading, students are expected to grasp the key information quickly. This is an important skill to develop in English. One key strategy is to ask a series of questions beforehand, such as: “What is the author trying to convey in this chapter?” When doing this, the student should have a plan in mind before reading, which will improve the effectiveness of their reading comprehension.

How to get high marks in English?

Common challenges for English 12

English 12 is difficult because of the volume of work and how demanding English teachers are. Students tend to misunderstand key components in their essay. As a result, they lose marks on critical thinking which often covers 20-30% of his work. For example, instead of analyze the Shakespeare text in the essay, the students will resort to plot summary, and lose marks on critical thinking

Tips to score higher marks on English 12

QE English tutoring Mississauga focuses on two major skills - essay writing and critical thinking. Our tutors support our students through the critical units, such as Shakespeare, poetry, and novel studies. Students need to organize their time better, such as breaking down major essays into components and schedule to work on them accordingly. QE tutors will help you to brainstorm ideas, show you how to analyze the text, guiding you through the thesis, arguments and edit your drafts (when time permits). You will benefit both in your skills and your grades with QE English tutoring Mississauga.

How to get high marks in English 11 (ENG3U)

Common challenges for English 11

English 11 is a senior high school course, in that teachers have higher expectation and demand on the level of literary analysis and essay. Students often times have difficulty on expressing their point of view in a clear and concise manner. One common error is to use big, complex vocab, trying to impress the teacher, but without considering the context and usage. Often times it is more effective to use clean, concise wording and arguments, while establishing a strong flow that is easy for the reader to understand.

Tips to score higher on English 11

QE English tutoring Mississauga focuses on two major skills for our grade 11 students - essay writing and critical thinking. Each unit in grade 11 English requires are variation of each of these skills. We teach our students on developing thesis, arguments, writing compelling introductions and other key skills that you need to succeed in this course. We advise our grade 11 English students to allocate english enough time on their schedule to work through all the major essays, because it does take multiple drafts and brainstorming sessions to develop the theme, arguments, drafts and the final essay. You will benefit in your skills and grades with QE English tutoring Mississauga.

English is the most crucial subject in high school because all university admissions require an excellent English grade. Achieving excellence in English in high school and primary school needs a wide range of skills, including reading comprehension (the capacity to extract crucial information efficiently), essay writing (the ability to convey the student's opinions effectively), and critical analysis (the ability to delve beneath the story to analyze characters, themes, and passages).

The QEA English tutoring program produces three essential skills: reading, writing, and critical analysis. The aim is to develop three skills sets with our English students by working through their English curriculum in school. In teaching English essay writing, for example, we educate our students on how to develop essay beginnings that can grab the audience's attention, how to construct a concise and strong thesis, and how to build arguments around the quotations from their Shakespeare plays or novels.

The Queen Elizabeth Standard on Academic Excellence

Queen Elizabeth Academy has a strong tradition of providing high quality education to our students. Our students have achieved academic excellence. Many of our students were admitted to top universities with scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $23,000.

English Tutoring on Reading Comprehension

Strategies to enhance reading comprehension skills

English tutoring Mississauga

You must shift your focus from interpreting and understanding a tale to search for the story's aspects when you read a short story, novel, or any other English literature. This can be accomplished by examining the English text's significant events and making connections between them and recurring themes you see. For example, if a character behaves in the same manner repeatedly, consider why and how it affects the story's overarching theme. When you read, you should ask yourself questions to get you thinking critically about why something happened, why a character acted the way they did, and how all of this relates to the story's subject.

Another necessary procedure is to be a proactive reader. To be a proactive reader doesn't just mean to go through the text, but to know about new terminology, checking significant occasions, and having the option, to sum up. Additionally, don't spare a moment to summarize when required as your arrangement and, by and significant cognizance can improve the subsequent time.
