Why is high school tutoring so important?
High school tutoring goes far beyond simple homework assistance. It’s a fundamental investment in a teenager’s overall development, including the development of essential interpersonal skills (soft skills). Right from the start of secondary school, young people begin to hone their cognitive, social and emotional skills. That’s why it’s so important to provide robust support at this pivotal stage in their lives.
So, with personalized support in high school, teens not only learn to navigate through academic challenges, but also gain confidence and resilience. These qualities are indispensable for life. Tailor-made tutoring at this key level identifies and builds on each student’s strengths.
It also addresses their difficulties in a constructive way. High school tutoring is designed to unlock and maximize each young person’s potential. It’s designed to help young people discover their genius, their passions, their natural strengths in this time of self-discovery.

Essential skills for high school
Excellence in high school French
Our high school French tutoring program, which covers up to Grade 5, focuses on deepening comprehension and analysis of literary and non-literary texts. It also covers the mastery of advanced writing techniques and the improvement of oral skills. In addition, we integrate in-depth study of literature, including literary trends, figures of speech and analysis of a variety of texts. The aim is to hone the students’ critical and interpretative skills.
Writing, for its part, covers advanced exercises such as the critical essay, the commentary and creative writing. In oral communication, we reinforce debate, presentation and argumentation techniques. Finally, the aim is to prepare students to express themselves with ease, structure their thoughts coherently and succeed with excellence in their studies and beyond. We also offer courses in French as a foreign language and francization.

Mastering high school mathematics
We approach mathematics by focusing on key concepts such as algebra, geometry, statistics and probability. Through interactive methods, we reinforce understanding of theorems and complex problem solving, encouraging a logical approach and critical thinking.
Special emphasis is also placed on problem solving to encourage the practical application of mathematical concepts. Our approach aims to build students’ confidence and independence in mathematics, aligning our support with official curricula.
Secondary 4 Mathematics
For the secondary 4 math program, our tutoring focuses on key areas such as advanced algebra, functions, trigonometry, analytical geometry and statistics. As a result, we delve into the notions of equations and inequations, and explore various types of functions (linear, quadratic, exponential). We also introduce trigonometry to calculate angles and lengths in triangles.
Analytical geometry enables students to understand the relationships between geometric figures and coordinates, while advanced statistics introduce the concepts of probabilities and distributions. Finally, our aim is to prepare students to apply these mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts, while strengthening their ability to reason and solve complex problems.

Secondary 5 Mathematics
Our secondary 5 math tutoring program is designed to address advanced concepts and prepare students for future academic challenges. As such, we cover essential areas such as advanced functions, including polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions, as well as sequences and series. In trigonometry, we deepen our knowledge of trigonometric functions and their applications.
In addition, vector and analytic geometry is also explored to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of vectors and their use in space. Statistics and probability are covered, with a particular focus on probability distributions and statistical analysis. Our approach aims to strengthen students’ analytical and problem-solving skills, effectively preparing them for post-secondary education and beyond.

English as a second language
For high school English tutoring, our program targets key concepts in line with the Quebec curriculum. We focus on several essential aspects of the English language, such as grammar (passive voice, complex verb tenses, conditional, modal structures), vocabulary (advanced terms in various fields), reading comprehension (analysis of articles, essays, literary works), written expression (writing persuasive essays, formal letters, etc.), oral expression (presentations, debates, discussions), and English-speaking culture.
In short, our high school English tutoring program aims to provide students with the linguistic and cultural skills they need to succeed in an increasingly interconnected and diverse world.
Exploring high school science
Our high school science tutoring program covers a wide range of topics essential for a comprehensive understanding of the natural sciences. We cover key areas such as biology, where we explore living systems and how they interact. Also, we cover chemistry, with a focus on chemical reactions and the composition of matter. Finally, we discover physics, where we examine the fundamental laws governing physical phenomena, and astronomy, for an understanding of the universe and its phenomena.
Finally, we aim to equip students with the tools they need to analyze scientific problems, formulate hypotheses, and apply scientific methods to explore and understand the world around us.
High school History
Our high school history tutoring program, particularly in Grade 4, focus on in-depth exploration of key historical periods and major events that have shaped the world. In addition, we cover such varied themes as the history of Quebec and Canada, the Great Discoveries, the Industrial Revolution, world conflicts, and significant social and political movements.
Through the analysis of historical documents, critical discussion and the application of historical concepts, students develop a nuanced understanding of the causes and consequences of events, as well as the links between the past and the present. Ultimately, our goal is to cultivate in students a capacity for historical thinking, critical analysis and an appreciation of diverse historical perspectives, preparing them to become informed and reflective citizens.
