2. Critical Thinking

English tutoring Surrey

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 Surrey provide comprehensive lessons on critical thinking. It takes time to master this, as this is a key foundation skill for high school English. It is important to get help early with QE English tutoring Surrey.

What is taking ENG4U English 12 like?

English tutoring Surrey

This grade 12 English course is intended to prepare students for university level English, and is intended to foster critical thinking, and higher-level literacy, especially upon the coherent and confident use of formal academic language, and the development of reading strategies for a broad array of texts. The course is broken into four skill segments.

Oral Communication: This strand of the curriculum focuses on the student’s ability to communicate through spoken language, for example in a presentation to the class, or more generally in the way they answer questions asked of them in spoken English. It also includes the comprehension component of oral communication, that is to say the ability of students to understand and comprehend spoken English. These are extremely important and valuable skills that come in handy in day-to-day life.

Reading and Literature Studies: This segment of the curriculum evaluates a student’s ability to read English literature and to comprehend and analyze it. Shakespeare will be taught in this segment, as well as poetry and short stories. The goal is to leave with a capacity to read independently, critically, and with keen understanding of the text, as well as to be in contact with works of genuine cultural and literary importance.

Writing: the goal of this segment is to produce confident and effective writers who can organize their thoughts clearly, while producing strong and grammatically correct sentences. Beyond that the course will also focus on various forms of writing including the essay, which is central to higher level coursework in English and other disciplines. Students will be exposed to a variety of forms of writing, and given the opportunity to develop strong writing skills.

Media Studies: This segment focuses on analyzing and interpreting media texts, including graphics, sounds, and images. The influence of mass media and popular culture is explored and discussed critically. Students are given the tools to make sure they can be aware of the messages floating around mass media and online culture in an academic and critical capacity, as well as the capability to create their own contributions to that culture.

How to get high marks in English 12 (ENG4U)?

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 Surrey focuses on two major skills - essay writing and critical thinking. Our tutors support our students through the critical units, such as Snakespeare, 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 Surrey.

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 Surrey 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 Surrey.

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.

Inquiry for English Tutoring Surrey: 1(365) 800 3775

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.

The QEA English tutoring program is one-on-one, private tutoring.


We build the student’s skills in reading, writing, and critical analysis while working through the student’s course curriculum.

If I am doing poorly, how can I use the help from QE English tutoring in Surrey?

English tutoring Surrey

If you aren’t performing well in the subject, chances are you have foundation gaps. The first step is really to address your foundation gaps. Typically this is about essay writing and critical thinking. For students in junior high school, it could be sentence structures and grammar (such as run on sentences). Our English tutors in Surrey do provide lessons on essay writing and if needed, on sentence structures. It is important to learn the basics and build a strong foundation, as you will need your English skills throughout high school (all other subjects and projects) and universities. You need to avoid the mentality of “getting by”, and focus on mastering these skills for long term.

The second advise we give, is to put your 100% effort into this. It means that reading ahead on your Shakespeare or novels, or spend time analyzing the text. Our English tutors in Surrey will provide you with guidance, and for English your hard work will pay off.

English Tutoring on Reading Comprehension

Strategies to enhance reading comprehension skills

English tutoring Surrey

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.

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!read more

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.read more

My daughter decided to get a jump start to her last year in high school and decided to take the Gr 12 English summer course at Queen Elizabeth Academy. She had a great experience with Victor and her teacher Justin. Based on current circumstances classes were held virtually. Content was delivered in a professional manner, with group discussions and constant support throughout the course. I would highly recommend Queen Elizabeth Academy.read more

At a time when school had to be done differently, Queen Elizabeth Academy stepped up to the plate. During the initial change of school due to Covid my son was going to a public ally funded school and the most contact he had with his teachers was to read or watch something on-line and then do an assignment which he got a grade back but no feedback on what he did right or wrong. At Queensway academy my son has to sign on daily with his teacher and classmates ( small class size only 8 students) and she actually teaches a class. There is plenty of time for questions and my son gets feedback on his tests. Being at work I can’t monitor if my son actually signs on but there is great communication from the school. One day my son slept in and I got text and emails asking where my son was. They follow up quickly if you have any questions or concerns. I highly recommend attending here. Great learning happens here.read more

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.read more

Have had nothing but positive experience with QEA for my 2 kids. We have taken both credit courses and some tutoring as necessary. Private credit courses were mainly grade 12 English over the summer and grade 12 math courses throughout the fall semester in the evening. I have heard quite a bit about private credit courses offered by other schools that are not as through and almost too easy for students to get high average. Courses at QEA are well laid out and very extensive to make sure they provide good foundations for post secondary education.
Victor is excellent at communicating with parents and students and he is also very good at listening and acting on everyones feedback. Highly recommend QEA!!read more
