York Region Tutoring encourages all students to utilize the past tests compiled from school teachers in our Past Test Bank. By completing these tests, students can assess their strengths and weaknesses and focus on areas that require improvement. Moreover, completing past tests familiarizes students with the test's organization and the types of questions asked, enhancing their confidence during school evaluations. However, it's important to note that while past test questions often align with trends seen in school evaluations, variations may occur due to the subjective nature of test creation, as teachers may exercise creative freedom when designing tests.

Grade 9 Math Tutoring

In Grade 9 math, students should strive for an upward trajectory in their academic performance to ensure that by Grade 12, they have access to a wide array of University and College programs.

The curriculum encompasses various topics, including both new ones like Linear Relations and Algebra and previously studied ones such as Geometry, Measurement, and Analytic Geometry. As mathematics builds upon itself sequentially, establishing a strong foundation in Grade 9 is crucial for success in more advanced topics in Grade 10 and 11, such as Factoring, Radicals, Quadratics, and Trigonometry.

To support students in achieving their academic goals, York Region Math Tutoring reinforces challenging concepts, aids in homework and assignment completion, and provides practice materials, including past tests from school teachers, to familiarize students with exam formats and expectations.

Additionally, York Region Tutoring offers Grade 9 EQAO tutoring, practice worksheets, and online assistance to further support student learning and preparation.

Grade 10 Math Tutoring

In Grade 9, students were initially introduced to Linear Relations and Equations in math. Moving into Grade 10 math, the curriculum expands on this foundation by integrating Linear Relations into geometric contexts. Concepts such as slopes, y-intercepts, and the creation and rearrangement of linear equations are applied to various geometric shapes like triangles and parallelograms, as well as to solving real-life problems involving distance minimization.

A solid grasp of Linear Relations becomes pivotal for success in Grade 10's Systems of Equations Unit, where students navigate finding points of intersection between lines algebraically and solving systems of equations in practical settings. It's evident that students with a strong understanding of Linear Relations from Grade 9 tend to excel in these topics. At York Region Math Tutoring, we ensure our students build a robust foundation in Linear Relations while guiding them through the new concepts introduced in both the Systems Unit and the Analytic Geometry Unit.

Additionally, Grade 10 introduces new topics like Quadratics (Part 1 & Part 2) and Trigonometry, which can be challenging for many students. York Region Tutors provide strategies to help students approach these units more effectively, ensuring they have the tools to navigate through the material with confidence.

Grade 11 Math Tutoring (Functions)

York Region Tutoring sees higher enrollment for Grade 11 math tutoring compared to any other subject. In this course, students explore properties of both discrete and continuous functions, encompassing rational, quadratic, trigonometric, and exponential functions. Additionally, students are tasked with demonstrating proficiency in determining and analyzing inverse functions, along with equivalent algebraic expressions. We recommend the TI-36x pro calculator to all parents, as it proves especially beneficial for Grade 11 and Grade 12 math assessments, offering complex arithmetic capabilities for students to verify their answers.

Students often encounter challenges in various key aspects of each math unit. For rational expressions, we address all student inquiries and provide reliable methods for simplifying expressions and establishing restrictions. In the Quadratics unit, we enhance homework and assignment assistance with a brief yet crucial lesson on categorizing transformations into two distinct types, simplifying the process of mapping and graphing transformed functions.

Trigonometry can be particularly challenging for students, involving abstract representation of trigonometric ratios graphically and through unit circles. The multitude of representations for the same concept can lead to confusion, as students may perceive them as disparate ideas. Our tutoring approach bridges these concepts, helping students establish connections and gain a deeper understanding.
