Taking both high school sciences? We also offer dedicated curriculum support with our specialized Chemistry Tutor in Newmarket programs for SCH3U and SCH4U.
Students need to fix their foundation gaps, learn problem solving techniques to achieve good grades in Physics. QEA offer both on our quality lessons and practice.
Specialized support for the enriched science curriculum at Newmarket High School (home to York Region's public Gifted stream) and premier private academies like Pickering College.
Expert coaching for Advanced Placement (AP) physics and specialized tracks at Sacred Heart Catholic High School and Sir William Mulock Secondary School.
Advanced preparation for Grade 11 and Grade 12 Physics at high-performing local schools like Dr. J.M. Denison Secondary School (celebrated for its robotics and technology labs) and Huron Heights Secondary School.
High schoolers in Newmarket frequently face academic challenges when striving for the top physics averages required by leading university STEM programs. These difficulties generally arise from demanding lab write-ups, intricate multi-step problem solving, and rigorous calculus-based force derivations.
Entering Grade 11 Physics (SPH3U) reveals major hurdles in mathematical application and vector resolution. Local Newmarket teens must quickly overcome these initial conceptual hurdles in kinematics to avoid falling behind early in the term.
Grade 12 students face a steep learning curve mastering abstract principles within SPH4U. Without an intuitive grasp of energy transformation laws and rotational dynamics, keeping up with fast-paced YRDSB coursework becomes exceptionally challenging.
Achieving excellence in YRDSB Grade 12 Physics demands precision. Learners must navigate two-dimensional motion vectors alongside abstract gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields—skills essential for securing competitive post-secondary science placements.
We establish true conceptual mastery across Grade 11 and 12 physics modules—ranging from vector dynamics and energy transformations to electric fields. Rather than rushing through calculations, our tutors train Newmarket students to carefully analyze complex word problems, identify given variables, and draw accurate free-body diagrams before choosing an equation.
Instead of simply waiting for students to bring in weekly homework problems, our structured lessons actively drive learning forward. We break down core physical principles step-by-step, explain the underlying mathematical relationships, and demonstrate how to solve challenging, multi-tier exam questions that go well beyond standard classroom examples.
At its core, physics is about analytical reasoning. Many high school students struggle because they try to memorize formula sheets without understanding when or why to apply them. Our tutors teach Newmarket students how to systematically deconstruct unfamiliar questions, rearrange equations symbolically, and reason through physical scenarios with logic and clarity.
Relying strictly on assigned textbook homework isn't enough to secure 90+ grades in competitive high school physics programs. To give our students a distinct advantage, QEA provides full access to our exclusive repository of high-difficulty practice tests, application-heavy worksheets, and past exam questions—completely free of charge.
Subject knowledge must be paired with smart exam execution. Through specialized workshops, we teach proven techniques for managing time under exam conditions, systematically approaching tricky conceptual multiple-choice questions, and presenting step-by-step mathematical solutions that earn full marks from teachers.
Physics can be difficult for students in Newmarket, as they often don’t know how to start or which equation to use.
Memorizing equations doesn’t work. Students need to understand the “why” behind a concept and apply them.
e.g. if you push a box on a ramp, how is gravity calculated differently? You need to change the equation based on the situation. (i.e. the ramp)
This is the essential QEA strategy to Physics Success - we teach problem solving techniques..

Physics 11 is new to a lot of students - the problem solving appraoch. Most students are accustomed to math - having an equation and follow through the steps.
For physics 11, the challenge is to know which equation to use and change it according to the situation. Most students stumbled on this.
Tip: Visualize the problem and draw diagram
One of the important techniques we tutor our physics students is to visualize the problem. By visualizing the question, you will know the variables and parameters involved, and what is happening. Only then you can apply / manipulate your equations, and plug-in your variables and numbers.
Physics 12 is an extension from physics 11. By now you need to master your problem solving skills. Physics 12 is more difficult because the concepts are more abstract, complex, and the application questions involves more moving parts. You will encounter projectile motion, objects colliding, objects spinning, rockets launching and so on. With each situation, your teachers can always change the variables and parameters and you need to work backwards / forward to derive the solution.
Tip: Don’t try to do too much in one step
A common mistake for a lot of students in that they are trying to do too much in one step. They might try to combine multiple equations into a large equation, which makes it very difficult and confusing the solve. Our approach is to break down the equation into pieces. Once you calculate each piece, you can combine them together and get a final answer. This approach will reduce the complexity and avoid having too much algebra in one equation.
QE physics tutoring is a lesson based tutoring. This means we actively teach the lesson and go through the problems step by step.
We charge a very competitive rate. It's not just the rate, but effectiveness. Our tutoring is private on one, you are being taught privately by a physics specialist. In addition, we provide weekly worksheets and homework package, mock tests and exams to help you succeed, not just answering your questions.
Physics is cumulative, which means if you fall behind, your problem will persist and drag further behind if you wait. It's better to have a professional tutor from QEA to clarify your misunderstanding, tackle the key application problems. This will save you time, drive your performance, and help you to achieve higher grade. It will reduce so much stress from you.
Usually, 2 times a week would be better, one lesson for learning new concepts, the second lesson for reviewing.
It depends on your own pace, if you are a fast learner, tutoring for once a week can be effective as well.
