Brookline IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL Tutoring FAQ
If you are in the International Baccalaureate program and you want to learn about the myriad ways in which humans interact with the natural environment, you can do so in IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL courses. Whether you want to pursue environmental studies at the collegiate level or simply want to better prepare yourself to become a well-informed citizen in this increasingly global world, IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL can help you explore the causes and effects of pertinent issues through a combination of theoretical and hands-on approaches.
While each IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL course follows a shared core curriculum, the content of each specific class can vary widely depending on the particular topics upon which it focuses its attention. Because of this, it can be notably difficult for students who are fretting about their performance, struggling in class, or preparing for their internal and external assessments to find assistance that adequately addresses their specific academic needs. If you are currently enrolled in one or both of these courses, and you are struggling to make sense of the material presented in the classroom, you should consider working with a private tutor.
Individual IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL tutoring can provide such effective and custom-tailored instruction. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with an experienced individual who can provide customizable tutoring that takes each of your unique set of skills, weaknesses, and concerns into account to maximize the effectiveness of their instruction. Our educational directors can help you select the instructor whose skills and background best prepare him or her to help you better understand the material being covered in your specific course. Your instructor can analyze your current knowledge and abilities within the context of the course and, with your input, develop a targeted learning plan for your IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL tutoring sessions that focuses on addressing the topics it would most benefit you to review.
In each of your tutoring sessions, you can receive one-on-one instruction, feedback, and advice. There's no need to spend any more time working on a particular topic than is necessary for you to completely understand it. This means that you can progress through the material at whatever pace allows you to best learn it. You may be quite surprised at how efficiently you can improve your understanding of environmental concepts with the personal attention of a talented and knowledgeable instructor.
A benefit that comes with learning from a private tutor is the ability to establish a professional relationship, which is something that is uncommon in a traditional educational setting. As you and your instructor begin to work together, they will get to know your personality and preferred learning styles. With this information handy, your tutor is able to customize a lesson plan for you that is equally as exciting as it is informative.
Your private tutor is committed to ensuring that your lessons are convenient and hassle free. They will meet you at a time that is suitable for your busy schedule, and are happy to hold sessions any time of the week, even on the weekend. Furthermore, you can choose between participating in in-person tutoring sessions, or you can learn in the face-to-face online tutoring environment.

Recent Brookline IB Environmental Systems and Societies SL Tutoring Session Notes
We discussed what the student had covered so far in class. We reviewed ecological systems. We started discussing chapter 2 of her text. I will make a copy of the syllabus content for her. It is more detailed than the course outline that she received. I will bring some more examples for her to practice on concepts like bio magnification, symbiosis, and formulas she will need to know for the test.
We talked about the student's upcoming Internal Assessment on assessing water quality using abiotic factors. We covered the essential components of experimental design, discussing how scientists set up experiments. I also provided her with an example of assessing water quality using biotic factors.
We used this session to finalize preparations for Exam 4. The student had watched almost all of the lecture videos and had taken notes on these. She also discussed with me her questions she had resolved at the Professor's office hours. After answering some specific questions on genomics and cancer biology, we continued working on answering the questions from the study guide. We talked briefly about methylation and then moved on to a discussion of transcript processing, splicing mechanisms, and alternative splicing. We spent additional time on self-splicing introns, the difference in translation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and the how small RNA's regulate transcription and translation. We agreed to meet next week before the final exam.
Prepared for the student's first biology quiz. Covered organization of life, cell theory, made flash cards, diffusion and osmosis, active and passive transport. Did practice problems for passive and active transport.
I helped the student with plant biology and ecology concepts, including trophic levels and energy flow in the environment. We also discussed some concepts on evolution and how that relates to some of the concepts from a recent test.
During this session, I helped the student review Chapter 48 and Chapter 50 in her biology textbook. These chapters covered concepts related to the nervous system and sensory reception/perception. Once again, I used the diagrams in the textbook as a means to guide the review of particular processes that the student requested, including action potentials, lateral lines, and actin-myosin contractions.
