Geography Tutoring FAQ
Can you explain the difference between an inland sea and a large freshwater lake? Can you identify Tanzania, Croatia, and Brunei on a globe, and name the principal crops of Burkina Faso? Geography is far more than the ability to locate cities, countries, and landmarks on a map. The field deals with the movement and precipitation of ideas, goods, and cultures throughout different geographic regions.
Developing a mastery of geography necessitates an understanding not only of the various countries and regions of the world, but of their cultures, economies, linguistics, and numerous other social identities. Even students who have traditionally succeeded in their social studies courses may find themselves struggling in geography. Geography is often grouped together with other social sciences, such as history, political science, and civics, but it actually tests a very different set of skills.
The nature of geography requires students to integrate the concepts of each of these individual, fundamental social studies topics into a fuller tapestry of sociocultural overview. Those who become familiar with geographical concepts from elementary coursework may view this field simply as the memorization and identification of land features and international borders, but once you bypass this cursory introduction, the world of geography can quickly become complex.
For those interested in exploring the intricacies of international relations and geographical interactions, private geography tutoring may be able to help. The personalized nature of private geography tutoring allows your instructor to focus on the aspects of study most relevant to your coursework. Varsity Tutors encourages students to connect with private tutors to develop unique and engaging lessons that directly address the areas in which the student needs assistance.
Instructors can focus on financial geography or human geography with college students, or basic land-based geography with elementary students. Varsity Tutors can help you select the experienced tutor best suited to your unique needs. Once you have selected an instructor, your lessons can proceed at the pace and level of depth best suited to your coursework and field of study. Each geography student struggles with different aspects of the subject in different ways. Instructors are versed in numerous teaching methods and styles, allowing them to present geographical information in the ways most intuitive to you as a student.
Geography tutoring sessions can focus on memorization techniques, compositional elements for essay synthesis, or methods for identifying the international relationships and interdependence in geography. No matter your specific needs, the customized nature of geography tutoring can cater to the exact demands of your class. The customizability of tutoring sessions allows them to be both extremely effective and extremely efficient. A private tutor is able to focus on your unique strengths and weaknesses in a way that your geography teacher likely can't. They can also adapt the way they teach to fit your exact learning style and give you as much time as you need to master a topic, which represents a significant advantage over learning geography in a traditional classroom setting.
Varsity Tutors also provides an experience that is both convenient and flexible. The live learning platform allows you to meet your private tutor either in person or face-to-face online. This gives you the flexibility to decide when and where you would like your tutor to meet you. The plan is to create an environment that is as comfortable and conducive to learning as possible. So whether you are most comfortable studying in a local park, in a café or coffee shop, at a library, or at your house, a tutor can meet you there so that you receive the best experience possible.

We discussed finding the area and perimeter of various shapes (Triangle, Rectangle), as well as solving for the unknown angles in a triangle. This involved an introduction of a bit of algebra which the student picked up very well. Over all, quite a bit of progress was made.
We practiced his European geography using a website given to him by his teacher. At the start of our session, he was not very familiar with European countries and capitals, and he has a tendency to be impulsive when he doesn't know an answer. However, we were able to practice both capitals and countries many times each, and by the end of our session he was doing much better, although he could still benefit from more practice.
The student must complete a project about Mexico for class. We worked on his part and he will completing the rest with his partner when they make their board. In doing this, we practiced correct grammar and capitalization. Finally, I checked his current events assignment and math homework. He will need to practice conversions and reading division problems correctly, but his arithmetic has no issues.
The student and I went over the basics of world geography, including the continents and the oceans. Then we focused on learning the location of a few major countries on different continents. Afterwards, we began an introduction to American Government.
