The Canadian elementary math curriculum is relatively easy and less focused compared to the international average. Such potential problems cause students extensive difficulties in understanding mandatory math classes in higher level education. To strategically make math an easier and more fun subject, AlphaEDU Academy, through research and development, came up with the new math program to help students in the early stages of education.

Alpha Power Math is a unique program based on Singapore’s elementary math textbooks. Our instructors are Math PhD’s from Western University. By studying and reasonably combining the Canadian grade 1-8 math curriculum with in-depth supporting concepts, our instructors developed the Alpha Power Math Program to help Canadian elementary and junior high school students advance in logical thinking and math skills. This program focuses on step by step understanding of fundamental math concepts, practicing multiple methods of problem solving, advancing logical thinking, and achieving easy math learning. Along with the in-class curriculum, our instructor also developed after-class practices for student to get more experience with various types of problems. Pre-assessments will be carried out before enrollment to determine which level fits each student’s best. With Alpha Power Math, we ensure a solid foundation to carry out future math development. Study with us and make math easy.

High school level math is very challenging due to the significant gap in difficulty between it and elementary level math. Several math courses in high school also provide the fundamentals for many Canadian university or college programs. AlphaEDU high school level math programs are designed to ensure students’ understanding of math concepts and ability to solve difficult questions while covering each topic in the specific math courses of the Ontario curriculum. Courses available at AlphaEDU include Principles of Mathematics, Foundations of Mathematics, Functions, Applications, Advanced Functions, Calculus and Vectors.

University level math courses are carried out by math professors of Western University. These programs are designed to advance students’ skills and prepare them for their field of specialization. Below are Western University courses that we mainly provide tutoring programs for:

• Applied Math 1201, 1411, 1413, 2270, 2276, 2402, 2811
• Calculus 1000, 1301, 1500, 1501, 2302, 2502, 2503
