...as a tutor is not to teach someone how to solve a problem or pass a test, but to teach the essential knowledge needed to succeed in a course beyond the raw grade. I believe that through a holistic assessment of a subject, it will be easier for someone to learn how to accomplish tasks related to that subject in the future. I hope to get students to a point where they are self-sustaining.

Calgary IB Global Politics HL Tutoring FAQ
The intricacies of global politics can often feel like you are staring at the back of a tapestry, attempting to understand the picture by looking at the reverse side's pattern -- with perplexity and vexation. To find your way through the complex strands of global political problems and concepts, consider enlisting the help of an experienced tutor.

As you prepare for your post-secondary education, it is critical that you grasp the complexities of global politics. In addition to the traditional concepts of sovereignty and political legislation, the various issues pertinent to international relations remain important as our world becomes increasingly united through technological advances. In the past, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes could speak of the international community as being in a state of nature; that is, bereft of all common considerations of political rationality. However, this is certainly no longer the case, for nations can no longer act without explicitly interacting. Of course, this is a complex matter, and your IB Global Politics HL course will cover the many issues pertaining to national sovereignty and its meaning in terms of international relations in the contemporary world. In addition, many other topics likely need to be mastered regarding the complex relationships between nation states, and you personally must master these in order to be a true citizen of the world community.
Varsity Tutors can help you connect with tutors from all over the globe who have taken global politics and excelled in it. The educational directors are able to work with you to create a profile that can attract a tutor who is ideal for helping you to master the many concepts and skills that you will need in order to do well in your course and the final exam.

Your chosen tutor will be able to teach to your learning style, breaking concepts down into easily understood pieces that you can grasp. They are well-versed in providing education to students of all mastery levels, which ensures that they can offer the support and guidance you need.
IB Global Politics HL tutoring can help you succeed on your examination papers for this important course and also gain the knowledge that allows you to become a truly international citizen, thoughtfully able to evaluate the important decisions facing our world today. In this way, you can be prepared to tackle the major questions and problems which your generation will be tasked with solving. From the traditional questions of rights and national sovereignty; the complexities of peace and war; and specific issues such as security, health, and international poverty, your tutor can help you prepare for the manifold topics you must master both for your IB papers as well as for your future as a responsible member of the world community.

Recent Calgary IB Global Politics HL Tutoring Session Notes
Today, the student and I began with a review of To Kill a Mockingbird. She has a test on the book this week and had review questions to complete. We finished several chapters worth, but did not get through all of them as she had history material that she wanted to cover. She really enjoyed the book and anticipates that she we will do well on the final test. We then moved on to history, competing notes on the beginning of World War I. We talked about the Schlieffen Plan, new technologies, and the two fronts of the war. The student is already familiar with much of this material, having covered it last year from the American perspective.
The student completed two more sets of ACT vocab words and we reviewed them together. She continued work on her end-of-course essay for Social Studies. We discussed the law case further and introduced new vocabulary words for Social Studies (muckraker, imperialism, trust/monopoly). We compiled study materials for her end-of-course exam as well. Our next session may be our last session for Social Studies, including the multiple choice and short answer exam.
The student continued a unit on Ancient Rome. Today she read and listened, and then took a quiz. She got 100%! Then she began and completed 3 postcards from Rome (Sistine Chapel; St. Peters' Basilica; and the Vatican Museum). Lastly, she began a brochure on a tour of Rome. She chose the five places to write about and completed the cover design.
We continued to focus on studying for the test. He had a test on ancient Greece coming up so we studied for that as well. We worked on the math sheets, specifically addition with carrying. He definitely understands the concepts.
Reviewed class handouts/review sheets and homework. Reviewed folder and reading log and responses. Guided student with responses to independent reading log. Vocabulary/dictionary work.
Today, we worked on the student's Thomas Jefferson project. For today, we needed to organize information that she needed to put on a timeline about Jefferson's life. To do that, we went through websites and made a list of 12 different dates and events in his life. I also helped her cite these websites in MLA format. We could not create the actual timeline since she was to do this at school. After this, I quizzed her on spelling words for a test she has on Friday. They were words with the endings -ful or -fully. She did well in this session and we were very productive.
