Mark

College Physics Tutor • +11 Subjects

I was never a straight A student, in fact, I struggled to get B's. It was never a problem with the content I was learning but the context in which that material was presented. After learning about the many different learning profiles that exist in the classroom I realized that students like myself were being left out to dry. I decided three years into my first college experience that I wanted to become an educator. Transferring to Wright State University and enrolling in their Teacher Preparation program is undoubtedly the best decision I have ever made. This upcoming fall I will be working in the Dayton Public School district to help students who, like myself, who struggle with "playing school."Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading science-fiction and taking hikes at the many metro parks in the South Dayton area. I occasionally work at a locally owned running store on the weekends and even do some coaching in the fall and spring. I have spent most of my life in Dayton but also moved around a lot as my father was in the military. I hope to move and teach in Philadelphia some day in the future but for now, my focus is on revitalizing the school system in Dayton.

Inrich

French Tutor • +11 Subjects

As a highly motivated, goal and success oriented tutor, I have a proven track record of providing excellent tools for everyone around me to overcome the challenges that they encounter when facing difficult situations. I will graduate from Baruch college with a bachelor's in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and have always received A's in all my mathematic courses. I am always positive and enthusiastic, and I love to share that with everyone. I have been a tutor for about 6 years now, in French and Mathematics. I have helped my students to build the necessary skills that they need to succeed. I show my students how to study effectively. For instance, Mathew who is a former student of mine did not like algebra at all. I showed him how easy it is with 3 effective rules to master in algebra. Read-Follow-Do. Now he is taking calculus and is doing well. My previous experience as a tutor and my daily life as a student has enabled me to develop not only specific skills to be the best tutor, but also to be patient and understanding. This is because I have lived the frustration of not understanding a subject myself. This pushes me to read and go find the help that I need. Living this myself makes me devoted and goal oriented, and motivates me to help my students even more. I want to get my PhD in I.O. in the future and develop more and better skills to be the best tutor that I can ever be.

Ann Marie

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +27 Subjects

My decision to pursue a teaching career is because I have a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of my students. I see teaching as the best way to do this. I also have a strong love for learning and as an educator, having this quality is essential if one is to instill a love for learning in his/her students. I am helping students reach their fullest potential. I am laying the foundation for lifelong learning and achievement and to me that is the greatest job of all.I have taught a wide variety of students in both early childhood and elementary grades in both public and private settings. I have also helped colleagues prepare for different standardized exams such as the GRE, PRAXIS and the New York State teacher examination. My experiences have taught me a lot about what are best practices and how best to implement these best practices. They have taught me the value of being patient and the importance of differentiated instruction.I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Pace University. I also have a Masters in Science in Childhood Education (1-6). In addition, I have a 15-Credit Post Masters in Early Childhood Education (Birth-2nd Grade). I am able to tutor reading (comprehension, phonics); writing (style, grammar); math (number operations, measurement, geometry, problem solving, and number sense); science (biology, health, physiology, astronomy; weather, earth science); and social studies (civic engagement, geography and history).My favorite subjects to tutor are reading, writing and math. As an educator I take the time to get to know my students and what really interests them. I believe this is essential to learning how to best teach the students I am teaching or tutoring. It is important to help make the content relatable and accessible. This means getting to know my students and their learning styles.Outside of academia I enjoy doing yoga, reading, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Hi, I'm Adam. I'm 29 years old, and have recently moved back to the US from several years of living in Australia. I've had lots of experience doing many things over the years. I've always had a passion for digging into different skills and learning whatever I can get my hands on.

I currently live in Texas, and am able to practice my Spanish regularly.I have over ten years of guiding youth groups during the summers in team building activities, ropes courses, and other challenging activities. I've worked with groups from ages 4 to 16 years old of all genders and backgrounds, and have experience with special needs and varied learning abilities as well. My last outdoor youth guiding position focused on middle school to high school aged expeditions, team building, rappel/abseil guiding, and overnight survival skills expeditions.I have a long background in emergency and wilderness medicine, and pursuing emergency services and search and rescue focuses is my main goal. I have completed the nationally registered EMT and Wilderness EMT courses, and wish to pursue either a Paramedics or Nursing degree next.I have travelled extensively throughout my life, especially during my twenties, and get extreme enjoyment in absorbing whatever I can about the cultures and languages belonging to wherever I find myself.During my three years in Australia I found myself around a lot of Brazilian friends, so I picked up a decent amount of Portuguese, and am currently starting to teach myself Arabic as well.I adore the outdoors and time spent adventuring in nature.

Beyond that, I continued to play and teach myself, write and play live performances with various musicians, and have since been in a band for a few years with heavy doses of large live performances, studio recording time, and several tracks on Spotify.As you can see, I've gotten my hands on quite a few things over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions

IB Geography HL requires students to synthesize knowledge across physical and human systems while applying geographic concepts to unfamiliar case studies—a skill that takes deliberate practice. Common challenges include mastering the synoptic approach (connecting themes across the curriculum), analyzing data sets effectively for Paper 3, and developing sophisticated written arguments that move beyond description to critical evaluation.

Personalized instruction helps because tutors can identify exactly where a student's understanding breaks down—whether it's struggling with scale interactions, fieldwork methodology, or constructing evidence-based responses—and target practice accordingly, rather than moving through material at a fixed pace.

IB Geography HL covers four core themes (Global systems and governance, Patterns and processes, Place and scale, Global interactions) plus two optional topics, requiring students to think geographically about complex real-world issues rather than memorizing facts. The assessment model emphasizes higher-order thinking: Papers 1 and 2 test application of concepts to case studies, Paper 3 involves data analysis and interpretation, and the Independent Inquiry Project requires sustained geographic investigation.

This means successful IB Geography HL students need strong analytical skills, the ability to construct nuanced arguments, and comfort working with diverse source materials—skills that benefit significantly from expert guidance tailored to the IB assessment criteria.

In a typical classroom, geography teachers must balance the needs of 20-30 students while covering extensive curriculum content. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors can adapt pacing to your learning speed, focus deeply on the themes or optional topics where you need support, and practice exam-style responses with immediate, detailed feedback on how well you're meeting IB criteria.

A tutor can also help you develop a study strategy for managing the breadth of the course, coach you through the Independent Inquiry Project process, and work with you to refine your analytical writing—something that's difficult to do at scale in a classroom setting.

Expert IB Geography HL tutors combine deep subject knowledge of geographic concepts and case studies with familiarity with IB assessment criteria and expectations. They understand the full curriculum and can help you see connections across themes, not just memorize individual topics.

Beyond subject expertise, great tutors are skilled at asking probing questions that push you toward critical analysis, providing constructive feedback on written responses using IB mark schemes, coaching you through the Independent Inquiry Project, and adapting their teaching approach when something isn't clicking. They also stay current with contemporary geographic issues and can help you see how case studies apply to the real world.

With consistent, focused tutoring, students typically improve their ability to construct sophisticated geographic arguments, apply concepts accurately to unfamiliar case studies, and develop stronger analytical writing that meets IB criteria. Many students move from descriptive responses to evaluative ones, which is where higher grades are earned.

Specific improvements often include better performance on data response questions (Paper 3), more compelling Independent Inquiry Projects, and confidence applying concepts synoptically across the curriculum. The timeline depends on starting level and frequency of sessions, but students often see measurable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent work.

Yes. While the fieldwork itself must be completed through your school, tutors can help you design a strong research question, develop a rigorous methodology, analyze and interpret your data effectively, and present findings in a way that demonstrates geographic thinking. Tutors can also help you connect your fieldwork findings to broader geographic concepts and theories.

Personalized guidance on the fieldwork process ensures your investigation is well-structured from the start, which typically results in stronger fieldwork portfolios and confidence presenting your findings in the fieldwork portfolio component of the course.

Many students benefit from tutoring early in the course (Year 12 for IB students) to build a strong foundation in geographic concepts and case studies, which makes the rest of the curriculum more manageable. Others start tutoring mid-course if they're struggling with specific themes or topics, or later to refine exam technique and practice full paper responses.

The best time is whenever you identify a gap in understanding or need support meeting IB standards. Early intervention prevents small knowledge gaps from snowballing, but tutoring at any point can boost performance if you're willing to put in consistent effort.
