Physics tutoring with a difference
Our physics tutors focus on helping our students better understand the material that is being covered in the classroom. They review the concepts, assist with homework and prepare the student for tests. Physics tends to be a very difficult subject for a lot of students. This is especially the case for grade 11 students who have transitioned from grade 10 general science to grade 11 physics. We offer physics tutoring for high school and university students.
In person physics tutoring
We provide in-person physics tutoring in the student’s home or in a public library. This service is provided in Vancouver (GVRD,) Kelowna, Kamloops, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto (GTA.)
Our in-person physics lessons are scheduled for a minimum of 1.5 hours. During this time we focus on homework support, test readiness, and reviewing the concepts covered that week. To make the most of the learning experience, we suggest opting for one or two 1.5 hour lessons per week for the duration of the course. Taking a proactive approach is key to ensuring student success as it enables comprehensive concept review and addressing any learning gaps.
Online physics tutoring
Our online physics tutoring is effective because of three key factors.
1. They have at least two years of online physics tutoring experience in Canada.
2. Our online physics tutors are equipped with touchscreen devices or writing pads and a stylus pen so they can write on the screen. This collaborative approach promotes real-time interaction, enabling the tutors and students to work together on homework.
3. Our selection process ensures that we handpick the most qualified physics tutors from all across Canada. Our tutors have an exceptional track record, possess extensive subject knowledge, and exhibit a genuine passion for empowering students to excel.
Our tutors help students develop these skills to excel in physics
1. Strong Mathematical Foundation: Proficiency in algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and linear algebra is essential to understanding the underlying principles.
2. Critical Thinking: Physics requires logical and analytical thinking to analyze problems, identify relevant information, and devise appropriate problem-solving strategies.
3. Problem-Solving Abilities: Effective problem-solving skills involve breaking down complex situations into smaller, manageable components, applying relevant principles and formulas, and arriving at accurate solutions.
4. Visualization Skills: The ability to visualize and conceptualize abstract concepts and phenomena through diagrams, models, and mental imagery is crucial.
5. Experimental and Laboratory Skills: Proficiency in experimental techniques, data collection, measurement, and analysis is necessary to conduct experiments and validate theoretical concepts.
6. Strong Foundation in Fundamentals: A thorough understanding of concepts like mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics is vital.
7. Persistence and Patience: Developing persistence, patience, and a willingness to explore alternative approaches.
8. Communication Skills: The ability to articulate complex ideas, explain solutions, and present scientific findings in a clear and concise manner.
Our physics tutors are qualified and experienced
All of our physics tutors have a university degree in math or science and at least two years of Canadian tutoring experience in physics. Our tutors who work with university and college students often have a master’s or Ph.D. with a science background and experience tutoring university physics courses.
We reteach concepts to ensure understanding
Our tutors have a special way of teaching. They explain things again using different methods that suit how each student learns best. This helps students understand the material better and overcome any challenges they faced in regular class.
We provide homework support
Our physics tutors provide valuable support to students by assisting them with their homework assignments. They offer guidance, explanations, and step-by-step solutions, ensuring that students gain a clear understanding of the concepts and successfully complete their physics homework.
We get our students ready for their physics tests
Our physics tutor employ effective study strategies, review key concepts, provide practice problems, and offer personalized guidance to ensure students are well-prepared, confident, and ready to excel in their physics exams.
We review the physics curriculum to boost confidence
Our tutors employ a comprehensive approach to better prepare students for upcoming physics courses. They conduct a thorough review of the previous year’s curriculum, identifying and addressing any learning gaps that may exist. This ensures students have a solid foundation and experience a smoother transition into the material covered in the current year.
