At times, a student may feel like they do not fully understand a lesson or mathematical concept.  The Math Department offers extra help opportunities for students to improve their understanding.

Teachers

Assessments for learning are regularly used in math classes so both students and teachers are aware of their progress towards the learning goals.  However, often a student is aware of misunderstandings before the teacher.  If a student is having difficulty understanding the lesson, asking the teacher for help allows the teacher to modify their lesson to address the issue.  Asking the teacher for help in a lesson is the most effective way to improve student understanding.

If a student needs additional time or instruction to meet their learning goals, many teachers are available outside of lessons for assistance. The student can ask for additional instruction through the Math Department Office in room 230.

Peer Tutoring Centre

The Math Department selects senior math students to run the Peer Tutoring Centre.  The peer tutors offer one-on-one tutoring and is open to all students without an appointment.  For more details, a student can reach out to their Math teacher or the Math Department Office in room 230.

Student Services

The Student Services Department also offers extra help with Mathematics outside of regular classroom hours.  For more details, a student can reach out to the Student Services Department Office in room 246.
