Harrison taught 3 months ago
The Tutor and Student reviewed several calculus concepts including continuity, derivatives of various functions (exponential, absolute value), solving logarithmic equations, finding inverse functions, trigonometric evaluations, and limit calculations using algebraic manipulation. They planned to continue working on the remaining problems of the test in the next session.
Derivative of Exponential Functions
Derivatives of Absolute Value Functions
Logarithm Properties and Inverse Functions
Continuity of Piecewise Functions
Mahalakshmi taught 3 months ago
The session focused on preparing for a mathematics assessment by reviewing covered topics, differentiating function types (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, rational, radical), and practicing problem-solving techniques for absolute value and logarithmic equations. The tutor and student also reviewed the properties of zeros for sine and cosine functions.
Function Types
Absolute Value Equations
Logarithmic Properties and Equations
Zeros of Trigonometric Functions

The tutor and student reviewed the definition and properties of mathematical functions, including domain, range, and classifications such as even, odd, algebraic, and transcendental. They practiced determining these properties and behaviors (increasing/decreasing) for various functions, and discussed their application in problem-solving.
Increasing and Decreasing Functions
Algebraic vs. Transcendental Functions
Even and Odd Functions
Functions: Domain and Range

The session reviewed implicit differentiation and progressed to integral calculus, covering both indefinite and definite integrals. The student practiced various integration techniques, including u-substitution, and worked on problems involving exponential and trigonometric functions. The Tutor assigned practice problems and discussed a potential follow-up session to continue exam preparation.
Indefinite Integrals and Substitution
Trigonometric Integrals: cos²(x)
Changing Limits with U-Substitution
Implicit Differentiation
Definite Integrals

The Student and Tutor reviewed chain rule and practiced its application with various examples. Then they transitioned to integral calculus, discussing the definition of integrals, power rule and linearity. The session concluded with homework on integration problems, including the use of substitution.
Chain Rule
Basic Integration Concepts
Types of Integrals
Power Rule for Integration
Linearity of Integrals
Special Integrals

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.
