...the class discussing that one song. The next class I was presented with a host of requests that ranged from 50 Cent to Miley Cyrus. I chose this approach because I feel that learning is best internalized when a student feels like he or she can own their learning process. This means that the teacher works to facilitate guided discovery and so is in constant dialogue with the student. Those students needed to learn English...

IB Global Politics SL Tutoring FAQ
The International Baccalaureate program's Global Politics SL course engages you in a complex assembly of topics related to the people of the globe, their political interactions, and the complicated ways in which power and human rights interact in the contexts of world development and the resolution of matters of peace and war. To find your way through the overwhelming array of topics covered in such a course, you need a knowledgeable guide who can help you understand the complex intricacies of world politics. Let ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ help you connect with such a guide. Contact us today to discuss the IB Global Politics SL tutoring options available for your IB studies!
Unlike a simple civics or history class, the IB Global Politics SL class aims to provide you with more than a mere outline of facts regarding a particular government and its history. The IB Global Politics SL core topics engage such knowledge for multiple governments, along with topics from sociology, philosophy, and the history of ideas. Together, these present you with a synthesized view of the complexities of the situation facing the global political sphere. In preparing for your IB exam, you will need to strengthen your grasp of these integrated disciplines in order to make sure that you can discuss them coherently when the time comes for your evaluation.
IB Global Politics tutoring can help you learn the factual information that you need to know on the day of your examination. In addition, a personal tutor can challenge your grasp of course topics, helping you to see more clearly the complexities you will need to master. These will help you formulate thoughtful essays about the subjects covered on the IB papers for your course. While we are all citizens of our own countries first, in an increasingly globalized world, each of us is also a citizen of the world. The realm of politics is ever more the realm of global politics, and to understand the intricacies of the world in which you will live and work, you must have a grasp on the important topics covered in your IB Global Politics SL course. The interaction of states, their development and conflict, and the demands made by human rights are all important topics that must be mastered if you are to be a truly thoughtful citizen of the global community.
The course is comprehensive, and your personal instructor will help you put all the pieces of the puzzle together at a pace that is most suitable for your learning style and personality. There's also the convenience of flexibility. Your tutor can meet at a time that works best for you, between or after classes, on weekends, or whenever work or other obligations aren't in the way. They can schedule a session in your home, or a local library or cafe. The ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ live learning platform allows you to meet with a private tutor either in person or face-to-face online. This gives you the flexibility to meet with your tutor at the time and location of your choice. Each tutor is flexible, plus their adaptability enables them to fine tune each lesson based on what you know and any weaknesses the instructor can find, and tailor the work along the way to how you progress. No matter how you see it, your IB Global Politics SL tutor is a collaborator who will help you understand global politics on a whole new level.
Instead of facing the complexities of these topics alone, find a personal tutor who can help you work through the particular issues you are studying. They will work one-on-one with you to cover the topics in your IB Global Politics course, so you can more efficiently see the big picture of the matters pertinent to international political relations.

Recent IB Global Politics SL Tutoring Session Notes
Tonight, the student and I began with history. We finished reading and discussing the section on the Russian Revolution. As I read the last few pages aloud, the student added to her notes on the computer. We discussed Lenin, the New Economic Policy, and Stalin.
We then moved on to literature. The student had To Kill a Mockingbird questions to finish, which she made progress on and will finish later tonight. We also reviewed her vocabulary for a quiz she has later this week. I gave her the word and she gave me the definition and used the word in a sentence. She feels prepared, but will continue to review in preparation for her test.
Another great session!
The student and I reviewed her second writing prompt from the novel, "Speak." She was able to clearly identify symbolism and its meaning in the third section of the book. We clarified some misunderstandings about the Dred Scott case and the Missouri Compromise from last session. She then completed the first and second sessions of her end-of-course exam for social studies. The first session was scored at a 92%! The second section will be scored while she completes the essay portion end-of-course exam on Friday. And a final, cumulative score will be calculated for homeschooling purposes. This will be the last week we will be meeting for Social Studies. The student has been assigned two more ACT vocab sheets and another section of reading from our novel.
Today we focused solely on AC: women's role in gov't. This is a lengthy lesson, but she was able to get through a good deal of it. She read and took notes (she is getting more proficient at note-taking), took a quiz (100%), and wrote a few paragraphs comparing women in the ancient Roman Republic to women in politics today. We chose: Angela Merkel, Nancy Pelosi, and Kathleen Sebelius. We did some on-line research, and she summed up her thoughts. She was shocked that they only received the right to vote in the US in 1920. Tomorrow we will focus on English but try to finish this assignment as well.
Now focusing more on skills/writing. Student presented notes for 5 paragraph essay on his book. He crafted a 5 paragraph essay. Reviewed for social studies test. Read a leveled Shakespeare reading/puppet activity.
This week we continued studying for her tests, which she has coming up in the next few weeks. We practiced some math worksheets and went over many of the social studies topics.
We reviewed the causes of the Great Depression and the main points of FDR's New Deal. I saw a couple of old tests, and noticed that she usually does better on essays than she does on multiple choice. This leads me to think that she usually knows what she's talking about, but maybe over thinks multiple choice questions. We will work on this. No concerns or extra practice.
