Expert Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors Tutors in Aurora, Markham, Richmond Hill & Scarborough
Is your university acceptance riding on Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)? Our specialized tutors help students master the two distinct halves of this challenging course—Differential Calculus and Vector Geometry—ensuring they achieve the marks needed for competitive engineering and science programs.
Unlike a standard classroom, our small-group approach allows us to focus on:
- Derivatives Mastery: Applying the Chain Rule, Product Rule, and Quotient Rule flawlessly.
- Optimization Problems: Solving real-world max/min problems (the hardest part of the Calculus unit).
- Vector Geometry: Visualizing 3D planes, scalar projections, and intersections of lines.
- University Prep: Bridging the gap to first-year university calculus courses.
Looking for an expert Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors tutor in Aurora, Markham, Richmond Hill, or Scarborough? Our specialized tutors help students master the Ontario University Preparation curriculum, including Curve Sketching, Related Rates, and Dot/Cross Products.
At Success Tutorial School, our Grade 12 program provides the instruction and practice students need to thoroughly understand mathematical concepts, not just memorize them. Whether you want to learn ahead or review day-school topics, our expert tutors help build greater confidence in numeracy, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills.

Our Teaching Method
- The Entry Test: Each new student is individually assessed by writing an STS entry test. This test ensures that students are registered in a class that is best suited for their learning needs.
- STS teaches the course: Our expert math tutors explain concepts with carefully selected examples. Students receive ample support and feedback in small classes averaging 6 to 10 students.
- Homework & Quizzes: We believe sufficient practice is necessary to support learning, and therefore homework is issued and assessed each lesson. Regular quizzes are also provided to track students’ understanding and progress.
- Final Examination & Certificate: A course is successfully completed upon writing the STS final exam. A passing grade and an attendance record of 75% and above is rewarded with an STS certificate.
The Recipe for Success
We take learning very seriously at Success Tutorial School.
We have a special recipe for success and we owe everything to careful preparation. Just like any good ol’ recipe, it takes the best ingredients, and careful preparation to ensure the best results. To get our students ready for their lessons at school, we understand who they are, needs and goals. From there, we carefully craft a program that works for them, not us. After all, every student is different in their own way and have different goals they want to achieve, and we respect that! When students see that others’ care about their needs and goals, they automatically become more engaged and want to learn – when students want to learn, academic results can naturally be seen.
What’s Provided
Different aspects of teaching are considered to ensure our tutorial programs remain effective: planning, delivery, communication, activities, and camaraderie. In addition to that, we provide the following to our students to guide them in their lessons and assess their progress:
- Notes
- Homework
- Interactive Activities
- Supporting Materials (Handouts, Visual Aids, etc.)
What Parents & Students Have To Say
“Good pacing, often faster than day school even though I’m in a semester school. Good course, information is well taught. Teacher is helpful with providing time after class to ask questions.”

Our Story
In 1992, Mr. Paul Choi started Success Tutorial School in a small unit on the second floor of a strip mall. There was only one table, a few chairs, a small desk and a telephone. Paul would be teaching 2 to 3 students of various grades at the same time.
Today, we are very proud that we have been in business for over 26 years! Growing from 1 teacher, a few students to having three campuses with over 60 teachers and administrative staff and more than 1300 students.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you teach the MCV4U Calculus and Vectors curriculum?
Yes. Our program is fully aligned with the Grade 12 MCV4U University Preparation curriculum. We cover both the Calculus strand (Derivatives) and the Vectors strand (3D Geometry).
Is this the hardest math course in high school?
For most students, yes. The jump from Advanced Functions to Calculus can be steep because it introduces a new way of thinking (limits and rates of change). Our tutors break these abstract concepts down into simple steps.
How do you help with “Optimization Problems”?
Optimization is often the hardest unit. We teach a repeatable 4-step framework to solve word problems (Define Variables, Create Equation, Differentiate, Solve for Zero), turning impossible questions into manageable ones.
