Who this helps

Where Pre-Calculus Support Makes the Biggest Difference

Pre-Calculus 11

Quadratics, radicals and rational expressions — the term where many students first find maths genuinely hard.

Pre-Calculus 12

Trigonometry, logarithms and function transformations, taken while university applications are being written.

Students heading to Calculus

Anyone who needs Pre-Calculus to actually stick, because Calculus 12 or first-year will assume all of it.

Topics We Focus On Most

Quadratics, solved with a clear understanding of what the graph is doing
Trigonometry beyond right triangles, including the unit circle and radian measure
Rational expressions, including stating restrictions correctly

How we teach it

How We Teach Pre-Calculus

Pre-Calculus punishes pace. We slow the concept down until the student can explain it back in their own words, then speed the practice up hard, because Pre-Calculus assessments reward fluency and there is rarely time to think from scratch in an exam. More on tutoring in Surrey with OOTB.

Small-group pre-calculus tutoring runs at $370 a month for four hours a week. One-on-one and exam preparation are $40 an hour, in person in Surrey or online over Zoom. Every new student starts with a $50 trial class. Compare all programs.

Questions

Pre-Calculus Tutoring FAQs

My child did well in Math 10. What changes in Pre-Calculus 11?

This is the most common question we are asked. Pre-Calculus 11 moves faster and asks for fluency rather than familiarity. Techniques that served a student well before — following the example, memorising the steps — need to be built on, and that is usually quick to put right.

Is Pre-Calculus 12 needed for university?

For most science, engineering, business and health programs in BC, yes or effectively yes. Check the specific program, and if you are unsure, call us and we will help you read the requirements.

Can you help before the course starts?

Yes. A short pre-term bridge over the summer is one of the highest-value things a student going into Pre-Calculus 11 can do.
