What we teach, and how.
One-on-one, online, and built around the student. Every subject below is taught the same way: the concept first, at the board, then practice written for the individual.
Math
Math is cumulative, so a gap left in one year compounds in the next. Sessions find the gap, close it, and move on, using the school’s own curriculum as the map and a plan that runs ahead of it.
- Grades 4–8: fractions, decimals and percents, ratios, pre-algebra
- Algebra 1
- Geometry
- Algebra 2 and trigonometry
- Precalculus and AP Precalculus
- AP Calculus AB and BC
- Ontario Grades 9–12, including MHF4U and MCV4U
Test Prep
Admissions tests reward two things: knowing the content and knowing the test. Preparation covers both, in that order. Content gaps first, then technique, then timed practice built from the student’s own error log.
- SAT: the digital SAT, Reading and Writing and Math
- ACT: English, math, reading, science and the essay
- ISEE: Lower, Middle and Upper Level
- SSAT: Middle and Upper Level
- STAR Math
- UTS Entrance Test
English & Writing
Good writing is a habit of thought before it is a habit of the pen. Sessions work on reading closely, building an argument and writing sentences that carry it, then on the grammar and structure that make it hold.
- Grades 4–12
- Reading comprehension and literary analysis
- Essay writing: analytical, persuasive and personal
- Grammar, usage and sentence craft
- Admissions and scholarship essays
- AP and IB English
Chemistry
Chemistry makes sense once the model is clear: what atoms do, and why. Sessions build that model first, then apply it to the problem types the course actually tests.
- Grades 10–12, including Honors
- AP Chemistry
- IB Chemistry SL and HL
- Stoichiometry, bonding, equilibrium, acids and bases
- Summer preview ahead of the school year
Computer Science
Programming is learned by writing programs, with the ideas underneath made explicit along the way. The aim is a student who can reason about code, not one who can only reproduce it.
- Python
- Java and AP Computer Science A
- AP Computer Science Principles
- Introductory programming and problem solving
- Data structures and algorithms, first principles
French
A separate program: a structured course from A1 to B2 for the TCF Canada, delivered in partnership with an immigration consultancy in Vancouver.
