The Real Chemistry Hurdles for PDSB & DPCDSB Students in Toronto

Toronto students face significant academic gaps, struggling to achieve the high chemistry grades required for competitive university STEM, Health Sciences, and Engineering programs. The gaps lie mainly in mathematical science applications (like stoichiometry), abstract molecular concepts, and experimental data analysis.

The Grade 9 & 10 Science Foundation

Ontario’s Grade 9 and 10 science curriculum has created highly diverse skill levels in local PDSB and DPCDSB classrooms. Toronto students who do not build a rigorous foundational understanding of two areas: nomenclecture and balancing chemical equations will struggle to adapt when they encounter grade 11 SCH3U and grade 12 SCH4U

Grade 11 and 12 Chemistry

Students entering SCH3U and SCH4U are expected to master highly quantitative, abstract concepts like the mole, chemical proportions, organic chemistry, and equilibrium laws very quickly. If they have math foundation gaps or lack strong scientific problem-solving skills, it is incredibly difficult for them to keep up with the fast-paced curriculum. This is true especially on chemistry application / thinking problems

How we build foundations for our students

Chemistry can be challenging for many students because it is cumulative — each year builds upon the next. That’s why building a strong foundation is essential.

Memorizing equation doesn't work. Students need to understand Chemistry.

It means to understand the “why” behind a concept and know how to apply to a variety of problems.

This is the essential QEA strategy to Chemistry Success.

Chemistry 11

Chemistry 12

Grade 11 Chemistry - QEA Expert Study Tip to achieve higher grades

The challenges

Many students find chemistry challenging, because it is a combination of calculation and theory. Many students either don’t understand the concept enough to apply it, or they aren’t good in math to carry through the calculation.

QEA Insights and Strategies

Tip: Apply the concepts and organize your steps

Key foundation topics: nomenclecture, balancing equation, stoichiometry

When it comes to complex calculations in chemistry 11, like stoichiometry, draw a flow chart to show the steps. This will help you clarify complex questions with many steps. You have to understand the why behind each step and what is your goal under each step. Organizing your steps into a flowchart can help you clarify all these.

Grade 12 Chemistry - QEA Expert Study Tip to achieve higher grades

The challenges

Chemistry 12 is designed for students who are going into life science and engineering. The toughest part of chemistry 12 is the application questions and the complexity of the concepts. also, the sections of chemistry 12 are interdependent and you may not learn a concept if you have already missed the previous chapters.

QEA Insights and Strategies

Tip: Understand the rationale behind the concepts and steps

Key foundation topics: Organic chemistry, enthalpy, equilibrium, ICE tables

Chemistry 12 has a huge variety of application problems. Students simply can't memorize steps. They have to understand the reasoning behind each step, and how the concepts is applied in that situation. There is no shortcut for this. Students need to practice a variety of problems and try to understand how the concepts relate to the solution.

★★★★★ Victor and his wonderful teaching staff including Jerome, Cameron and Amjad have been instrumental to my daughter's educational development. We have enrolled with QE for the past 2 years and I can personally attest that this has been the most effective group of educators I have come across. Victor is extremely passionate, professional and his care for his students is very evident. Its been very rewarding for me to see a huge improvement in my daughter's knowledge and confidence in math and english. The QE staff are truly gifted in teaching and they were able to adapt their style in a way that maximized my daughter's learning. My daughter is in grade 12 and QE has exceeded all of my expectations in helping prepare her for University. Thank you very much Victor and team!

Dilshad Lallani

★★★★★ Queen Elizabeth Academy provides excellent tutoring service and credit courses. We have had 3 daughters access tutoring service for various science and math courses at the grade 11 and 12 levels since 2016. The tutors are extremely knowledgeable and able to engage easily. They are patient, kind and very generous with their time. The tutors reflect Queen Elizabeth Academy’s value of genuinely caring about the academic success of each student based on individual learning needs and style. Our eldest and middle daughters have received generous university entrance and yearly scholarships. Our youngest will be attending university in September 2023 and, similar to her sisters, she has received early acceptance offers with very generous scholarships from various universities. Our eldest will be graduating from law school coming June 2023. It goes without saying that Victor is excellent at what he does. However, what sets him apart is his caring mindset resulting in going above and beyond providing tutoring service. He regularly offers academic success strategy workshops by bringing in successful students from competitive med or Ivy League business schools. He also regularly shares evidenced based journal articles on strategies for academic success or test/exam taking by experts in the fields of education and neuroscience. The Academy’s advisor is a Harvard Med/PhD student with expertise in Health Science and Neuroscience. Victor also partners with parents to provide the best experience for students. He advises on University selections based on current admission trends and student interests. His flexibility for make up or extra sessions is next to none. His administrative staff is very diligent and works hard to accommodate the needs of students and their family where possible. I would unequivocally recommend Queen Elizabeth Academy and we are grateful for having access to such a great Academy.

Jamal Shihadeh

★★★★★ It was a pleasure and a turning points for my children education when they joined Queen Elizabeth's Academy. What really make this Academy different is the great attention given to students, they analyse carefully the strength and weakness of their student, they work on clear strategy to improve students performance and are very flexible to change strategy when needed. they worked patiently with my son and improved his performance to excellency. It is great how management and especially Mr. Victor follow up with us on my son progress , I received many phone calls and emails with updates, this tight follow up and advices we received resulted in huge difference in my son performance and his awareness to his education. I highly recommend QEA.

Andrew Gallacher

★★★★★ I credit QEA for my entry into Western Engineering! Tutors/Teachers actually teach and care about ensuring students fully grasp the learning, their on-line group learning format far exceeds that in the public school system, numerous additional resources were available to set me up for success, and the school is very well run and organized. Thank you QEA!

The Webster-Cho Family

★★★★★ Over the years, all of our four children have taken secondary school courses at Queen Elizabeth Academy. Victor is amazing! He and his team of educators and staff have always demonstrated a positive, communicative and supportive learning experience. In our most recent experience with the Advanced Functions and Calculus courses, our daughter’s teacher Cameron was absolutely fabulous! He made math enjoyable by adding a little bit of humor to his teaching and by encouraging the students to ask questions, while also patiently taking the time needed to ensure that everyone in the class understood the material being taught. Cameron assisted our daughter in catching up on the math concepts that had been missed (due to her grade 9/10/11 online / in-person pandemic experiences) and supported her in gaining a very in-depth understanding of Calculus in preparation for her university level math. We really couldn’t have asked for a better teacher than Cameron. Thanks to both Victor and Cameron for such a wonderful educational experience.

N Pais

★★★★★ My daughter Megan has had the opportunity to take grade 11 math and grade 12 advanced functions at queen Elizabeth Academy. She is registered for physics 12 in the fall. Due to the pandemic situation we have been very worried that our child is not going to get the foundations in math and science that she needs. Thanks to Victor and his team of highly qualified teachers our concerns have been alleviated. Megan has had the traditional in class model with QEA and has just finished up with an online platform. Both have been great and I am confident that Megan is now prepared for university. I truly believe that the public school system of distance learning cannot do what Victor and his team have done for my daughter. She has been prepared for success as a direct result of professional teaching methods that work. A quick update to my above review......THANK YOU Victor and team! Megan was accepted to all of her top choice UNI programs with a scholarship and is off to start the next chapter of her life. Your program has given Megan an amazing foundation in both Math and Science and has ensured her future success. Megan is very confident starting her first year at UNI and feels well prepared for her fall courses.

★★★★★ Thank you Victor, Amjad and everyone at QE for making the weekly 1.5 hour session such an enjoyable experience for my son.
