Grades 11 and 12

Academic track Senior High tutor, for the track that leads to a degree

Academic track Senior High tutoring starts from the five core subjects every learner now takes, General Mathematics and General Science among them, then follows the electives your school built on top. The structure changed with Grade 11 in June 2026, so a plan made around a strand needs updating, and we match the tutor to the new one.

What is
Academic track tutoring?

Academic-track tutoring works one subject at a time with a Grade 11 or 12 learner headed toward university admission under the Strengthened Senior High School Curriculum. The five subjects on this track's schedule are fixed nationwide; what a session covers beyond those five comes from the elective cluster the learner's own school assembled.

Key Points

  • Grades 11 and 12, Academic track
  • All five subjects on this track's roster stay the same no matter the school: Pag-aaral ng Kasaysayan at Lipunang Pilipino, Life and Career Skills, General Science, General Mathematics, and Effective Communication
  • Electives come in clusters each school assembles from its own list
  • Grade 11 already sits under this structure as of June 2026, and SY 2026-2027 is the year it applies in full
  • The hourly figure above sets the floor for Academic-track pricing; grade level, home or online format, and area shape the final quote for each learner, confirmed in writing ahead of the first session
Learning Formats

How support is arranged

Senior High schedules are crowded; both options are built around that

  1. Online

    Grade 11 and 12 run a longer school day than Junior High, often with a commute on top. An online slot after school does not ask a tired learner to travel twice, so most Academic-track sessions happen here, especially before a quarterly assessment.

    60-90 minutes
    • Evening slots that do not need travel
    • Shared workspace for working through problems
    • Easy to intensify before a quarterly assessment
  2. At your home

    Worth it where the learner works better with somebody present, or where a subject involves a lot of drafting and paper. The tutor comes to the desk where the homework already gets done.

    90-120 minutes
    • Written work marked as it is produced
    • Fewer distractions than a shared screen
    • A fixed weekly slot that fits around the school schedule

Learning Roadmap

Where a learner usually is when this starts

Two years, and the reason for calling changes completely between them

  1. Entering Grade 11

    The jump nobody warns about

    Senior High is a genuine step up from Grade 10, and the first quarter is where that becomes obvious. Learners who coasted through Junior High on memory frequently meet the limit of that here, inside a structure that is brand new to everyone around them, older siblings and classmates included.

    Subjects

    General MathematicsGeneral ScienceEffective CommunicationStudy method for a heavier load

    Focus Areas

    • Getting the first quarter right from week one
    • Habits that survive a heavier schedule
    • Understanding what the core five actually demand
  2. Mid Grade 11

    One subject is dragging

    The most common point of contact. Most of the load is manageable and one subject (usually General Mathematics, sometimes General Science) is not. Narrow, fixable, and worth catching before it becomes two.

    Subjects

    The single weak core subjectUnderlying gaps from Junior HighAssessment techniqueCatching up without falling behind elsewhere

    Focus Areas

    • One subject at a time, deliberately
    • Repairing the Junior High foundation under the chapter
    • Weekly until it stabilises, then less
  3. Grade 12

    Two things at once

    The final year runs Senior High subjects and college entrance preparation in parallel, with applications in the middle of it. Hours are the scarce resource, so the plan ranks every task and spends the week on the ones that count most.

    Subjects

    Remaining core and elective subjectsEntrance exam overlapWorkload triageFinishing requirements

    Focus Areas

    • Subjects that also serve entrance exams get priority
    • Fewer hours, each one spent better
    • A plan with an end date
  4. Any point, elective trouble

    A subject the school assembled

    Every school names its own clusters differently, so the first step is reading what the learner's cluster actually contains. Share the subject title and, if the teacher issued one, the course outline, and we match it to the tutor on our roster who teaches that exact material.

    Subjects

    Whatever your school's cluster containsThe subject's own assessment styleUnderlying core subject where it appliesA tutor matched to the exact elective

    Focus Areas

    • We ask for the school's actual subject list first
    • The match confirmed against the course outline
    • Core subject support where the elective rests on one
Learning Content

The five core subjects, and what tutoring does with each

Every Academic-track learner carries all five, whichever electives they chose

Every school builds its own elective cluster, so the plan starts from the subject list the learner's school issued. Send it, and each elective on it is paired with the tutor who teaches that subject.

  • General Mathematics

    The most common reason an Academic-track learner gets in touch. It is core for everyone now, learners who would once have picked a strand light on math included, and that lands as a surprise on plenty of Grade 11 students in their first quarter.

    Topics

    • Functions and their behavior
    • Business and financial mathematics
    • Logic and reasoning
    • Gaps carried up from Junior High
  • General Science

    Also core for everyone. Broader and less specialized than the old strand science, with more weight on reasoning from evidence than on memorized content.

    Topics

    • Scientific reasoning
    • Evidence, data and measurement
    • Science in public argument
    • Writing an explanation that scores
  • Effective Communication

    Mabisang Komunikasyon absorbed the old English subject and changed the grading standard: a paragraph earns marks for doing its job for a stated reader and purpose, a different bar than the old essay-shape rubric.

    Topics

    • Academic writing
    • Speaking and presenting
    • Reading dense material
    • Adjusting register for the reader
  • Life and Career Skills

    A core subject that most Grade 11 learners have never met in an earlier grade. The material itself is manageable; the points slip away when a learner files it as the unimportant one on the schedule.

    Topics

    • Planning and self-management
    • Working with other people
    • Applying learning outside school
    • Meeting the subject's own requirements
  • Pag-aaral ng Kasaysayan at Lipunang Pilipino, studying Philippine history and society together

    Philippine history and society as a core subject. Assessment rewards argument and use of evidence, so learners who review by memorizing dates tend to underperform what they actually know.

    Topics

    • Reading historical sources
    • Building an argument with evidence
    • Writing under time pressure
    • Connecting the past to present issues
  • Managing the whole load

    Five core subjects plus a cluster is more than most Grade 11 learners have carried before. Frequently the real problem is scheduling, and that is worth naming and planning for directly.

    Topics

    • Deciding what gets the evening
    • Working before a deadline exists
    • Recognizing which subject is actually failing
    • Stopping tutoring when it is no longer needed
Service Coverage

Where this is available

Online Tutoring

The whole Philippines is reachable this way, provided the learner's internet connection can carry a video call without dropping

Online reaches every town in the country, which matters for an Academic-track learner, since school blocks and, in Grade 12, entrance-exam season already eat most of the flexible hours in a week. A session that starts the moment a laptop opens, with no travel time added on either side, is often the only way a Grade 12 schedule fits a tutor in at all.

  • Evening slots without travel
  • Shared workspace for working through problems
  • Simple to intensify before an assessment

Timezone: Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8)

In-Person Tutoring

At home, for work marked on paper

Learners often ask for this format for General Mathematics problem sets or Effective Communication drafts, which are easier to mark on paper than on a shared screen. Send your barangay and grade level, and we match the Academic-track tutor nearest your street.

Who This Program Serves

Who asks for this

Senior High learners reach out for reasons that barely overlap

Did fine in Junior High and is struggling with the volume and the level. Common, and usually about method, which is a very fixable problem to have.

The starting rate for Academic-track hours

Home visits, online sessions, and a Metro Manila or provincial address each land at a different point on the table below; grade level and how many hours a week the subject needs move the total further from there.

From

₱500 / hour

Home visit, Metro Manila₱700 / hour

Home visit, provincial areas₱500 / hour

Per hour, one tutor with one learner. Home visits run at least 1.5 hours. Packages: 12 hours at 5% off, 24 hours at 10% off.

A Grade 11 learner catching up on one core subject usually needs less time than a Grade 12 learner running entrance-exam review alongside a full course load, and home sessions run in blocks of at least 1.5 hours to make the visit worth arranging. Booking a package brings the average down. Whatever the learner's subject, grade and format add up to is confirmed in writing before the first session is booked.

FAQ

What Senior High learners ask

Most of these start with the same confusion

What happened to STEM, ABM, HUMSS and GAS?
DepEd retired all four in the transition that started with the SY 2025-2026 pilot in 841 schools and became mandatory for every school from SY 2026-2027, when Grade 11 moved onto it in June 2026. In place of STEM, ABM, HUMSS and GAS, and the separate Sports and Arts & Design tracks, learners now choose between two tracks, Academic and Technical-Professional, and assemble an elective cluster inside whichever one they pick. If you heard 'STEM' or 'HUMSS' recently, ask the school what that translates to under the new system, since the label alone no longer maps to a fixed subject list. We cover the full change on its own page for anyone who wants the complete picture.
Math is my weakest subject. Can I avoid it on the Academic track?
No, and this surprises almost every incoming Grade 11 student. General Mathematics sits inside the required core now, for Academic and Technical-Professional alike, which closes the old route where a HUMSS or ABM student could skip heavy math entirely. It is, by a wide margin, the most common reason an Academic-track learner contacts us.
Should entrance exam review start at the same time?
In Grade 12, often yes, as one combined plan. The core subjects and the subtests of the major entrance exams overlap a great deal, and a good plan puts that overlap to work so the weekly hours stay manageable. Tell us which exams are in view and we will say what can be combined.
How much does it cost?
Academic-track cost is not a flat number: a Grade 11 learner catching up on one core subject needs fewer hours than a Grade 12 learner running entrance-exam review at the same time, and arranging for a tutor to come to the house costs more than logging into a shared screen. The rate shown above is the starting point for every learner; the table beneath it moves with home or online, and with a Metro Manila or provincial address. Home sessions run in blocks of at least 1.5 hours, and stacking twelve or twenty-four hours into one package trims the per-hour average. The final figure for the learner's plan is written down before we lock in a schedule.
Which subjects are certain on the Academic track?
Effective Communication (Mabisang Komunikasyon), Life and Career Skills, Pag-aaral ng Kasaysayan at Lipunang Pilipino, General Science, and General Mathematics: those five hold their place on every Academic-track schedule no matter which school the learner attends. What sits alongside them comes from the elective cluster that school put together on its own, which is why we ask to see the actual list before building a plan.
Do you tutor the elective subjects?
Yes. Every school builds its own cluster, so we start from the elective the learner's school assigned and match it to the tutor who teaches that subject. Send the subject title and any course outline you have, and we confirm the matched tutor before the first session is booked.
Is the Academic track better than TechPro?
These two tracks lead toward different destinations, evaluated on different terms. Academic sets a learner up for university admission and a degree. Technical-Professional sets them up for an industry certification and quicker paid work, standing as a complete path on its own merits. If the question only comes up because a familiar strand disappeared, the useful next move is a conversation with the school's guidance counselor about where the learner's own interests point.
