Jagnoor kaur taught Sangeetha 4 months ago
On July 10, 2025, Jagnoor tutored Diya on calculus concepts, specifically limits and continuity. They reviewed homework, focusing on determining if limits exist and applying the three-part definition of continuity: checking if the function is defined at a point, if the limit exists at that point (from both sides), and if the function value equals the limit. They worked through examples, including piecewise functions, and Jagnoor assigned additional practice problems before moving on to derivatives.
Continuity
Checking Limits
Evaluating Functions
Discontinuity Points
Natania taught Lindsay 4 months ago
Nia tutored Lindsay on using derivatives to analyze functions, including finding critical values, relative extrema, and intervals of increasing and decreasing behavior. Lindsay worked through several problems, and they discussed strategies for interpreting derivative information to sketch graphs. They scheduled another session for the next day.
Interval Identification
Critical Values/Stationary Points
Second Derivative Test
Relative Extrema
Increasing/Decreasing Functions
Natania taught Lindsay 4 months ago
Nia tutored Lindsay on exponential growth and decay, present value calculations, and differentiation of exponential and logarithmic functions in preparation for Lindsay's exam. Lindsay practiced applying formulas and using the chain rule, and they reviewed specific derivative rules. They scheduled another tutoring session for Wednesday.
Exponential Functions
Product Rule with Logarithms
Derivatives of Logarithmic Functions
Derivatives of Exponential Functions
Half-Life
Rate of Change
Natania taught Lindsay 4 months ago
Nia and Lindsay worked through calculus problems from Lindsay's midterm prep, focusing on derivatives, tangent lines, and the quotient rule. Lindsay practiced applying differentiation techniques and identifying points of non-differentiability on graphs. They plan to continue working through practice problems.
Tangent Line Equation
Differentiability
Quotient Rule
Simplifying Before Differentiating
Horizontal Tangent
Sharon taught Faith 5 months ago
Sharon tutored Wade on sequence and series, explaining arithmetic and geometric progressions and their respective formulas for finding the nth term and the sum of n terms. They worked through examples involving summation notation and arithmetic series. They were in the middle of solving a problem when the session was cut short, and a follow-up session was scheduled.
Sequences
Natural Numbers Sum
Summation Notation (Sigma)
Sum of Geometric Series Formula
Sum of Arithmetic Series Formula
Arithmetic Progression Formula
Series
Geometric Progression Formula

Pre-calculus is when everything starts feeling harder
They’ve always been fine at math... until now
It’s not like your child has struggled with math before. Maybe they even liked it in Grade 9 or 10. But something about pre-calculus is different. Suddenly their confidence is off. They’re second-guessing everything. You ask how the test went, and they say “it was okay,” but you can tell that it wasn’t.
They’re trying to keep up with transformations, trig identities, exponential functions, and none of it feels familiar anymore. Whether they’re in Ontario’s MCR3U, Alberta’s Math 30-1, or Pre-Calculus 11 in British Columbia, the course moves quickly. It isn’t designed for slowing down. It’s built to prepare students for calculus, university admission, and competitive program entry.
You want to help, but you don’t know how
You sit down with them at the kitchen table and glance at their textbook. There’s a question about rational equations. Something about domain restrictions and asymptotes. You haven’t seen math like this since your own school years in Winnipeg or Hamilton, and even then, it didn’t look like this.
They seem stuck but don’t want to admit it. They’re quiet about it. Frustrated. And the worst part is, it’s not just about one bad test. It’s about momentum. In places like Mississauga, Burnaby, or Ottawa, pre-calculus is often the course that makes or breaks a student’s academic path. Whether they’re aiming for engineering, business, or health sciences at schools like McGill, Waterloo, or UBC, this course matters.
You’re not looking for a miracle, just a turning point
You’re not trying to turn them into a math genius. You just want to see them feel less stuck. Less defeated. Tutoring, especially one-on-one, gives students a space to ask the questions they didn’t ask in class. It helps them rebuild the steps they rushed through or didn’t fully understand.
Sometimes, all it takes is one clear explanation for everything to click. And that click brings back confidence. Pre-calculus opens doors to programs and scholarships, but it also shapes how students feel about their own abilities. The earlier they feel supported, the more likely they are to keep those doors open. And that matters, not just for grades, but for what comes next.
