Rohit taught Emma 2 days ago
Rohit tutored Emma on electrical circuits, covering complex numbers, RC circuits (including low-pass and high-pass filters), LCR circuits, and resonant frequency. They worked through circuit analysis problems involving equivalent resistance and Kirchhoff's laws. The session concluded with plans to discuss op-amps, interference, and magnetism in a future meeting.

Ismail taught Samantha 26 days ago
Ismail assisted Samantha with her physics assignments, focusing on problems related to fluid dynamics and elasticity. They reviewed concepts such as buoyancy, terminal velocity, Young's modulus, and Bernoulli's equation, working through assignment problems and correcting errors. Ismail assigned additional problems for Samantha to practice and scheduled another session for the following day.
Terminal Speed
Young's Modulus
Buoyancy Force
Bernoulli's Equation
Harmonic Motion
Sarthak taught Samia about 1 month ago
Sarthak tutored Haroon on the concepts of potential and kinetic energy, simple harmonic motion, and oscillatory systems like pendulums and spring-mass systems. They discussed the reference-dependent nature of potential energy and its relationship with kinetic energy, including the points of maximum and minimum energy in oscillatory motion. Haroon was assigned to share sample problems related to kinematic equations and Newton's laws for review in the next session, where they will also cover dot and cross products.

Shivani taught Emma about 2 months ago
Shivani Gupta guided Emma Parker and Belle Rainger through a physics assignment on penguin heat transfer, covering conduction, radiation, and convection calculations. They analyzed heat loss through blubber and feathers and discussed the insulating properties of trapped air. Emma will send Shivani the forces assignment for review next Thursday, and Shivani will further investigate question M.

Shivani taught Emma about 2 months ago
Emma, Belle, and Shivani collaborated on calorimetry and heat transfer problems, including ice melting, heat exchange, and heat loss in penguins. They applied concepts like specific heat capacity, latent heat, and radiative heat transfer. The students also discussed the limitations of their calculations due to assumptions of closed systems.

A parent’s guide to helping your child succeed in physics across Canada
Why physics feels harder than other subjects
It often starts after a test.
Your child walks out of school, quiet. You ask how it went. “I don’t know,” they say. And you realize something isn’t clicking. Maybe it was a tough unit on kinematics, or a quiz on vectors. It’s not just one topic. It’s the way physics builds fast and leaves little room to catch up.
Across Canada, parents see this moment happen. In Ontario, it might be a student preparing for SPH3U or SPH4U in crowded Toronto classrooms. In Alberta, it could be Physics 20 or 30 in a fast-moving Calgary high school. In Quebec, students in bilingual programs juggle technical terms in both English and French. The challenges look different, but the stress feels the same.
Unlike other science courses, physics asks students to apply both math and conceptual reasoning at the same time. They have to interpret graphs, set up equations, visualize forces, and explain their thinking. Many students understand the theory but lose marks because they can’t organize their steps clearly.
This is common in academic streams, especially in cities like Vancouver and Ottawa where students take physics as a prerequisite for competitive programs. A student aiming for engineering at Waterloo or health sciences at Dalhousie can’t afford to treat physics as just another course. It directly impacts admission averages, scholarships, and long-term confidence in STEM.
Parents try to help where they can. Maybe you’ve reviewed formulas, encouraged YouTube videos, or had an older sibling offer tips. But physics is not easy to teach if you’re not doing it every day. It’s visual, technical, and fast-paced, and for many students, one missed concept throws off the entire unit.
What targeted tutoring does differently
Tutoring isn’t just about homework help. It’s about finding the point where things started feeling unclear and rebuilding from there. A tutor in Mississauga may work with a student on projectile motion, while a learner in Edmonton needs support understanding circuit diagrams for an upcoming lab. In Montreal, some students need help translating core physics ideas across two languages to perform confidently in French immersion classrooms.
One-on-one tutoring gives students space to pause and ask, “Why is this happening?” instead of just memorizing a formula. It helps them tackle problems visually, learn how to write structured answers, and finally connect theory with the math they’re applying.
Most importantly, tutoring gives your child a win. A small moment where the graph makes sense. The equation works. The concept clicks. These moments build momentum. They reduce stress. And over time, they shift your child’s belief about whether or not they’re a “physics person.”
