How can our Math tutor in Richmond Hill help you build foundations?

Math is not easy for a lot of students. It is cumulative in a sense that, if you miss the foundation or have gaps, the next year you will run into the same problem. So building a foundation is the first steps.

QE teaching approach focuses on understanding, not memorizing

Memorizing is not the proper approach, because your teacher will change the questions on tests. Students need to understand the concepts and learn how to apply them. This means understanding the why behind the concepts and knowing how each piece fits together in the big picture.

All QEA math tutoring in Richmond Hill is one on one private. We will teach the full lesson and review what you have learned during that week. In this way, you won't miss anything.

Why do QE students achieve higher marks?

QE Foundation approach to tutoring

Step 1.

Review the concepts from school

To build a good foundation, students must understand the concepts first. QE is Ministry accredited, we have lesson plans on every unit, down to every single step. We teach the concepts first and then teach them how to apply them.

Step 2.

Go over school homework and our Test-level worksheets - better preparation for application test questions

Students can’t memorize solutions. They must understand the rationale behind each step and that’s what we teach.

Step 3.

Weekly Test-level worksheets + Mock exams

Teachers sometimes give easy homework and put on tough tests. QE develops our own worksheets that are on par with tests' difficulty, especially on application problems.

For most subjects, we provide mock exams to simulate an exam-writing environment. This will reduce stress.

Step 4.

QE students get Seminars on Study skills and test writing strategies to build the students long term success

We provide seminars throughout the year for our students.

We focus on building the long-term success of the student - on study skills, time management, test writing strategies, and how to reduce test anxieties.

Agencies/tutor centers Random approaches

Agency/center tutors come to the session empty-handed - students get a low grade

They randomly answer some questions from the students and burn out the hour.

Kids often don’t know what to ask - they don’t know what they don’t know.

As a result, students get poor grades and develop foundation gaps, which will damage their grades in future years.

Agency tutors have limited access to test-level problems

Most of the textbook problems are easy, whereas the teacher gives tough problems on tests. 30% of each test is based on application problems to which they have no access. Therefore, their students get low grades.

Lack of extra worksheets. No test-level difficulty problems

Their students get low grades due to a lack of practice

None. Students don’t learn any study skills or test writing strategies from Agencies/centers

Thank you QE - for the Foundation!

The QEA Approach to Math Tutoring
 - How is our math tutoring lessons run?
Private 1 on 1, Teaching based Math tutoring - that focuses on understanding, not memorizing
For each session in Math Tutoring Richmond Hill, you will get:
  • A full lesson on the concepts, review what you learn during the week. e.g. What is domain and range? What are the types of problems? What are the steps? (example from Math 10)
  • Step by step explanation of major application / thinking problems. Math students mostly stumbled upon application / thinking problems. This part is very difficult, as it requires deep understanding of the concepts and good explanation. Your teacher will change the questions all the time and to solve them, you need to understand and apply.
  • Good notes from our lesson board. As we teach the materials, we write everything down - explanations, solutions etc. These are valuable notes you can keep and use for reviewing for future math courses.

How to get high marks in Math 11 (MCR3U)?
- Math tutoring Richmond Hill

Common challenges for math 11

Grade 11 Math (MCR3U) challenges students with a big jump in difficulty, introducing abstract concepts and demanding more independent problem-solving.
  • Students often struggle with new topics like trigonometric identities, graph transformations, and algebraic proofs — all of which require deeper conceptual understanding.
  • Course selection adds pressure, as many students are unsure whether to take the Academic or Mixed stream, not realizing that Academic Math keeps more university options open.

2 tips to score higher marks on math 11 MCR3U

Tip #1.
Have a good foundation
Tips from QE Math tutors Richmond Hill

Before taking this math course, try to strengthen your math foundational skills from grade 10. Key math skills include factoring (especially trinomials), fractions (grade 8-9 level), Linear systems and quadratics with a good understanding of domain and range, x and y intercepts and asymptotes. With math foundational skills down it will be easier to follow the lessons and work in this math course, and less time will be spent catching up on previous material.

Tip #2.
Organize your steps
Organized tips from our QE Math tutors

Many grade 11 math questions involve multiple steps. Ensure you understand why you are undertaking each step from a logical or math perspective, and the pinpoint the goal of the steps, that is to say as ‘what am I trying to solve?’ Work through the steps after you have done this. By breaking the problems into steps, the questions will seem less overwhelming.

How to get high marks in Advanced Functions (MHF4U)?
- Math tutoring Richmond Hill

Common challenges for advanced functions

Advanced Functions (MHF4U) can feel like a rollercoaster for many students, as it combines familiar concepts with much more complex applications.
  • The calculus section builds on Advanced Functions, requiring a strong grasp of algebra, trigonometry, and graphing to succeed with derivatives and related applications.
  • The vector section introduces brand-new 3D concepts, with problem-solving skills that feel closer to physics — often catching students off guard if they lack spatial reasoning or experience.

2 tips to score higher marks on advanced functions MHF4U

Tip #1.
Strengthen your math foundation
Foundation tips from QE math tutors Richmond Hill

It would be a good idea, before the beginning of Advanced Functions, to brush up on the foundation's skills of math, such as factoring (especially trinomial factoring), domain and range, graphing, adding rational expression, and trigonometry ratios. If you wait until the course begins, it may be difficult to keep pace with the new material in Advanced Functions. Foundations are always important, and as with all mathematics course, this one builds upon your past knowledge, so be sure to review before starting Advanced Functions!

Tip #2.
Practicing of variety of application problems
Practice problems available from QE Math tutoring Richmond Hill

Also, make sure to keep good, organized notes to stay on top of the course units in Advanced Functions. Do not be afraid to practice problems beyond those assigned in the homework, as Advanced Functions is known for containing a very wide variety of questions and problems, and therefore the more you expose yourself to such problems, the better prepared you will be. Because of this, the Queen Elizabeth Academy provides all of our students with extra worksheets on Advanced Functions and practice tests to hone their skills and succeed.

How to get high marks in Calculus (MCV4U)?
Math tutoring Richmond Hill

Common challenges for Calculus and Vectors 12

Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) is a split-focus course that challenges students with both advanced function-based calculus and entirely new vector concepts.
  • The calculus section builds on Advanced Functions, requiring a strong grasp of algebra, trigonometry, and graphing to succeed with derivatives and related applications.
  • The vector section introduces brand-new 3D concepts, with problem-solving skills that feel closer to physics — often catching students off guard if they lack spatial reasoning or experience.

2 tips to score higher marks on Calculus and Vectors 12 MCV4U

Tip #1.
Understanding the concept
Concepts taught from QE Math tutors Richmond Hill

In order to succeed in Vector Calculus, make sure you are proficient in exponents, factoring, combining rational expressions such as fractions with algebra, and solving equations.

Make sure to pay special attention to the Optimization Unit in Calculus, which includes many word problems. If you struggle with word problems, make sure to prepare for this Calculus unit in particular. As always, make sure to keep your notes organized. Identify the different kinds of Calculus problems. This will help you to clarify the Calculus concepts in this course significantly, and also help to keep track of your progress.

Tip #2.
Write down the steps clearly and understand the reasons behind them

When approaching vectors in Calculus, the concepts are highly complex. To address this, try to lay out and write down all of the steps clearly, and write down why you are taking such steps as well. What variable are you attempting to achieve at every step? This approach to tackle Calculus will simplify some of the more complex questions, and will also allow you to pinpoint areas in which you will require extra help.
