I believe that students should not be spoon-fed information, but rather that they should be helped in discovering the knowledge on their own. Not only is this more interesting and exciting for them, it leads to a sense of 'ownership'...

Libertyville Human Geography Tutoring FAQ
If you are interested in other cultures, enjoy learning languages, or yearn to travel, human geography might prove to be one of the most interesting classes you ever take in school. It presents a barrage of interesting questions and discussions about various topics, from the effects of the one-child policy in China to how the phonetic development of languages in Africa influences African politics. It is also a field that can be extremely useful in gauging your interests in social work and sociology. With human geography, you concentrate on the way humans behave. You will need to work with and apply quantitative and qualitative research.
There are nine fields of study in human geography: animals, culture, development, economic, health, historical, political, population, and settlement. You can choose to take on various theoretical and philosophical approaches, such as behavioral geography, feminist geography, positivism, post-structuralist geography, spatial analysis, psychoanalytic geography, and more. If you're just beginning a human geography course, or if you are diving into a more specialized field, you can take advantage of Varsity Tutors to get connected with a personal tutor. Our educational directors will guide you in crafting a personal profile that provides potential tutors with a glimpse into your specific needs, as well as your course syllabus, concerns, and weaknesses.
Human geography tutors bring a wealth of academic experience to the table, but many of them also have a history of travel and a practical exposure to various applications of human geography. Some of the tutors have conducted research on cultural implications and emergencies, bringing the material from your textbook into the real world of politics and social science. You can find tutors who have been published in academic journals, such as Economic Geography and Geoforum.
Tutors take even more pride, however, in personalizing their human geography lessons to your unique talents, needs, and learning approaches. Human geography tutors spend the initial phase of their time with you not only thoroughly evaluating where she or he should focus the most attention in your study of human geography, but also analyzing what approach you naturally take toward learning the course's material. They are adept in identifying your learning style and preferences, allowing them to construct a personalized tutoring plan that is designed to suit these specific learning needs. Further, if you have goals or an approaching test, your tutor can alter the plan to put you on track for success. Whether you need help memorizing human geography terms, understanding maps, or acquainting yourself with the broader discussions surrounding human geography, your tutor is there to help. A private tutor can help you prepare for any facet of your human geography course - from religious migration, to wall building on political boundaries, to comparative subsistence agriculture.
Your personal instructor may provide learning materials to use while working with them. There are many types of materials that they may offer, such as access to human geography research journals, assessment tests, cultural films, and more. The materials you'll see vary widely depending on your personality, goals, and strengths, as well as your personal tutor.
Your tutor can meet with you whenever it is most convenient for you. Your tutor can provide weekend and evening sessions, with the possibility of meeting either in person or face-to-face online, to accommodate even the busiest schedule. They strive to make sure that your tutoring sessions are convenient and simple. They know that if things are made overly difficult, it can cause you to falter in your studies.

Recent Libertyville Human Geography Tutoring Session Notes
Today, the student and I began studying for her exam in history. I had her complete a short multiple choice review, which included items that she had not been exposed to in class yet. I explained that it was likely that there would be unfamiliar items to her on the actual exam. She only missed six, and we discussed those and why she had them incorrect. She felt a lot better about the exam but we will keep reviewing each week leading up to it. Very good session!
After our session on The Colonies to the Constitutional Era, the student and I went over key people from this time frame, as well as Manifest Destiny and westward Expansion. We covered Lewis and Clark, the 1849 Gold Rush, and the ratification of the Bill of Rights. She submitted her first round of ACT vocabulary work to me, and had been able to complete nearly all of it independently. We continued our work on background information for writing a formal research paper, including sources and theses. We began work on Latin and Greek roots. We also discussed two writing projects she will be completing for me. One is in relation to the novel I assigned her ("Speak" by L.H. Anderson) and the other is a sampling of the varying types and styles of writing she will be expected to produce. For our next session, she will have written two different styles of paragraph (descriptive and narrative) and will have copies of poetry and a short story which we will workshop together.
The student and I met for the first time on Tuesday. We spent the majority of our time on social studies. She is studying Oceania in class, and as we worked together in her workbook she was capable of arriving at the correct answer. We talked about the process of doing homework and how that would improve her work. Her three main take aways are: read the directions, get in the "zone" by working at a table and not rushing, and identifying the key terms in a question.
We spent 30+ minutes getting started on English, Lesson 21. This is a poetry unit. We completed 3/4 of the assignment questions. The student will finish the last poem and questions for homework, then submit. Onto SS, lesson on Greek mythology, epics, and drama. We completed most of the reading and began the questions. The student will finish the final questions for HW.
Today the student and I began to work on his "Famous Missourians" project for his Social Studies class. He had already done a terrific job in collecting research for his project so today he began working on organizing that research and starting to write his report. At the end of our session we reviewed math and did a short multiplication facts quiz to refresh and check which facts he needs to focus on for the future.
The student and I worked on his homework. We completed his vocabulary and content questions worksheet related to the French book of myths he has been reading for class. We also finished his reading for social studies, on democracy in ancient Athens, and answered the assigned discussion question. He was also able to complete his math worksheet. In our remaining time, he studied his African geography, which he really enjoys and has pretty much mastered.
