Student of the Month
We are very pleased to recognize Bema Osei-Kwabena as our first Back-to-School Student of the Month for this September. On his first school test he saw a 14% rise in his score versus typical results from the year before! Amazing progress!
Bema is making the challenging transition to the first year of High School. He was struggling with math, and decided to join us this Summer for our Jumpstart to Grade 9 Math program that teaches all the new concepts in two weeks. In August, Bema continued to review weak areas that were not mastered from previous grades and has already achieved a 14% grade level increase in his first High School test! From struggling to A’s, we aim not just for high marks, but for increased confidence and joy in learning success for Bema, and all our Students and Families at the Academy for Mathematics & English.
Students of the Month
Two great success stories we had to award both students with Student of the Month for June – Congrats Alyssa Antonopoulos & Charmaine Leung!
Alyssa is one of our most motivated students who is really on top of her studies (and not just Math now). Originally she was struggling with all the challenges of change and confidence, but she just got her first 90% as another example of Excellence in all our students who on average, achieve 10-20% grade increase within six months. Alyssa has really earned her Student of the Month with her fine Effort and Excellence!
Charmaine started with us in September with 60% in Grade 11 University Math (Functions). Her Final Exam in January was 96%. She’s now taking Grade 12 Advanced Functions going in with a 94% average and Grade 11 Chemistry with a 92% at school. Amazing results, Charmaine! You inspire us all!
Student of the Month
We are proud to present our May Student of the Month – Vishal Manek!
Vishal started with us 6 months ago. Prior to joining, he was scoring in the 80s in the demanding International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. He now consistently scores 97% – 100% in IB Maths!
You have made phenomenal progress, Vishal. Congratulations!
Typically most students will improve one or two grade levels within 6 months at our Academy. Vishal is an excellent example of the type of achievement that is possible.
Student of the Month
John Papaspyropoulos is Markham Crossing’s April Student of the Month!
John is proof that you can be a great “athlete” and a great “student,” if you work hard at both.
Struggling with concepts that were not properly taught before, John was able to bring his understanding and marks up one and two grade levels to high 80s and 90s with our top tutors and our customized Ontario aligned curriculum that filled in the gaps and elevated John to the top of his game!
From the Markham Crossing Academy, and all the Academies across the country, we wish you all the best for continued success in school and in hockey, John! Well done!
Student of the Month
Another remarkable Academy Student Success Story to share. We love watching our tutoring services transform students’ lives!
Congratulations, Anthony Argueta! You are Markham Crossing’s March Student of the Month! Anthony transferred out of the Niagara Falls City School District to one of Markham’s more challenging schools. Stressed out and struggling to adapt, Anthony rose from C-/Failures to averaging B’s/B pluses and earned his first A at school within 5 months of enrolling at the Academy.
With newfound confidence and the momentum of on-going success, he now enjoys school and looks forward every week to tutoring at the Academy. And, we love to see him here!
Well done, Anthony! You ought to be very proud of yourself. We, at the Markham Crossing Academy, as well as at all Academy locations throughout Canada, are all proud of your impressive progress! Keep it up !
