Learning Centre

The TSC Learning Centre offers courses and tutoring support to individuals preparing to gain admission into a college/university program.

Face to Face Courses

Students taking the above courses can receive tutoring to enhance their learning experience.  Tutoring runs in conjunction with the secondary school year and offered on a term by term basis. Weekly sessions are available.

Tutoring is offered in a classroom style environment in small manageable groups to ensure that individual attention can be provided.  Students work with trained and experienced Tutors who have demonstrated teaching and training experience.
​
The following subject is available:
  • Information Technology for CSEC

Online Pre-University and College Courses

Students applying to North American colleges and universities can take courses completely online. The Student Centre and Canadian-based Virtual High Schools have partnered to offer college-bound students an opportunity to meet admissions requirements. Students can earn Ontario Secondary School Credits to help gain admission into programs in Canada and the US.  The Student Centre is currently offering the following Pre-University and College Math courses.

​Available Courses
  • Advanced Functions*
  • Calculus and Vectors*
  • Mathematics of Data Management
*courses can be used as alternates to CAPE/A’Level Math courses. Both must be taken together.

Course Descriptions

Advance Functions - This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs. This course cannot be taken as a stand-alone course. Students must also take Calculus and Vectors.
Course Versions Available: Standard; Fast Track; Upgrade/Repeat                                         
Calculus and Vectors - This course builds on students' previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course. This course cannot be taken as a stand-alone course. Students must also take Advanced Functions.
Course Versions Available: Standard; Fast Track; Upgrade/Repeat
Mathematics of Data Management - This course broadens students' understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods for organizing and analysing large amounts of information; apply counting techniques, probability, and statistics in modelling and solving problems; and carry out a data management investigation that integrates the expectations of the course and encourages perseverance and independence. Students planning to pursue university programs in business, the social sciences, or the humanities will find this course of particular interest.
