One-to-one SPH3U tutoring for Grade 11 students following the Ontario curriculum. Bring your course outline and a question you found difficult: we connect the underlying ideas, show a method and help you practise it independently.
Physics, University Preparation (SPH3U) is listed in Ontario’s course catalogue at Grade 11. Ask your school for the current course outline and assessment expectations, then share them with your tutor.
02
SPH3U: topics to discuss
Kinematics, forces, energy, waves and introductory electrical or magnetic ideas. Sketch the physical system, choose a direction convention and identify the quantities given. Use graphs to connect motion and rate of change rather than memorising isolated formulas. Confirm the current topic sequence and full coverage using your school’s outline and the official source below.
03
Building confidence in science
Define the system, draw the forces or circuit and choose a model. Substitute quantities with consistent units, then ask whether the size and direction of the answer make sense. Lessons can alternate a modelled example, a question attempted together and an independent attempt so the tutor can see where understanding changes.
04
Use school feedback to guide revision
Bring a recent question, marked solution or topic checklist. Explain where you got stuck. The next practice task should check that particular skill before introducing more complexity. Tutoring supports learning; assessed submissions remain the student’s own work.
Understand it. Try it. Review it.
Put your science learning into practice.
Worked example · Forces, energy and circuits
A 2 kg object accelerates at 3 m/s^2. Find the resultant force.
Use F = ma for the resultant force.
F = 2 x 3 = 6.
The resultant force is 6 N in the direction of acceleration.
