IB Environmental Systems & Societies (ESS) – Tutoring & Exam Preparation

From 102 C$ /h

I offer personalised tutoring in IB Environmental Systems & Societies (ESS), with a focus on helping students understand concepts, make connections between topics and prepare effectively for assessments and exams.

I have experience teaching ESS in an international school environment and an academic background in Environmental and Mountain Management. Lessons can cover specific topics, revision, exam preparation, data analysis, case studies and support with understanding the structure and expectations of the IB course.

My approach is clear, practical and student-centred, using real-world environmental examples to make complex concepts easier to understand and remember.

Extra information

Lessons can be held online or in person, depending on location and availability. Before the first lesson, I like to understand the student’s level, goals and any specific difficulties they would like to work on, so that I can prepare lessons accordingly.

I am happy to work with students of different ages and levels, including school support, homework, revision and exam preparation. Lessons can be conducted in English or Italian.

I am flexible and approachable, and I encourage students to ask questions and actively participate throughout the lesson. My aim is to create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, learning and building confidence.

Passionate about history, I am at your disposal for any help you would need to organize and study your EDM / geography / human sciences courses. Focusing on efficiency, I make sure that the study relies as much as possible on current events in order to make it alive and relevant. All seriously, but always in a good mood.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

Good day, my name is Mike. I come from Shanghai, China. I'm now studying at Shanghai University.
Chinese is the language of the east, connecting people from many nations.

Does Chinese scare you? The tones, the characters, such a different grammar... You might not know where to start.
Good news: With the right method, it's much less intimidating than it seems! So don't hesitate to contact me!

Before you go any further, let me introduce myself.
I come from Shanghai, China. I got 138(A+) out of 150 in English GaoKao.
I have no problem in English communication at all, and thus I ranked top 0.1% in the English contest for senior high school students in Shanghai, surpassing more than 15 contestants from the Top 4 elite high schools, which includes Shanghai High School. Surprised? That's true.
I have been teaching Chinese down-to-earth in offline training institutions for over 3 years as a professional teacher.
Besides, the HSK exam might be helpful to you(e.g. for overseas students in China/for foreigners working in China).
An organized, systematic course for HSK prep is also free to go!

I offer grammar lessons, conversation practice and/or exam preparation through dynamic and practical classes.
Moreover, if you wish to have a firm grip on this language, thinking in Chinese rather than just reciting the grammar rules is quite crucial.
Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly, patient and dedicated teacher, I'd be delighted to help you achieve your goals!

My methodology is as follows(may not all be included, as your needs go first):
1. I can show the examples of certain pronunciations/tones to you and you can read after me if you want.
2. I can provide you with vivid conversations and fulfill your curiosity by Q&A interactions.
3. I can present you the past papers of HSK and analyze them if you wish.
4. Instead of giving you homework, I hope that you can search more interesting videos and passages from the web, based on your own preference.

My approach combines teaching and mentoring, and I take a holistic approach to ensure improvements in all aspects of a student's development, so no worries at all!

It's okay and normal that my students come from all walks of life. As long as you are willing to learn, there is a way.
I believe that interest is the best teacher, so I'll try my best to prepare before classes and make them effective to students.

Through my own experiences of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Let’s work together to ensure you reach your full potential, both academically and personally!

Languages are an important part of society, and learning them doesn't always have to be a struggle! I offer relaxed German and English lessons tailored to each student, addressing their specific needs and challenges. Whether you're struggling with grammar, want to improve your speaking, need help with schoolwork, or simply want to feel more confident using the language, I'm happy to help! I try to make my lessons feel less like a typical school class and more like a conversation where you can actually practice and enjoy the language. We can work on whatever you find most difficult, using plenty of practical examples and conversation along the way.
I don't believe that pressure is the right way to learn; it's repetition and staying at it—while having fun—that make the difference and lead to results!
