learn Environmental systems and societies DP, Understand environmental issues

31.26 £ /h

In this class, we will focus on ESS

What is ESS?
ESS stands for Environmental Systems and Societies. It is an interdisciplinary subject offered at the IB Diploma Programme (SL) level.

Purpose of ESS:
ESS helps students:
Understand how natural systems work
Explore how humans impact the environment
Learn how to make sustainable decisions
Connect science with society, ethics, economics, and politics

It combines:
Environmental sciences and social studies: the focus area is ecology, ecosystems, pollution, biodiversity, climate change, policies, human population growth, economics, cultural values

ESS and the Systems Approach
ESS uses a systems approach. That means it looks at:
Inputs and outputs of natural and human systems
How systems are interconnected (e.g., forests, oceans, cities)
Feedback loops, equilibria, and resilience in nature

Key Topics in ESS
Foundations of Environmental Systems
Ecosystems and Ecology
Biodiversity and Conservation
Water, Food, and Soil Systems
Atmospheric Systems and Climate Change
Resources and Sustainability
Human Populations and Resource Use

What You Learn in ESS
How to measure an ecological footprint
What causes climate change and how to mitigate it
How human activities impact the environment
How to evaluate environmental policies and solutions
How to interpret data and case studies related to real-world issues

Assessments in ESS
components
paper 1: Case study with data-based questions
paper 2: Short- and extended-response questions
IA internal assessment: A practical investigation on an environmental topic of your choice
EE extended essay: it depends on student if he is wiring a detailed version of investigation choosing ESS.

Why ESS Is Important
Helps you become an informed global citizen
Encourages critical thinking and ethical decision-making
Prepares you for careers in environmental science, policy, sustainability, law, and more

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

I'm a graduate chemist and italian native.
I got my master degree in physical chemistry and I started tutoring during my leisure time since when I was student.
I'm able to teach chemistry, mathematics, physics and biology for middle and high school students.
My method consists in simplifying concepts, give a study method and trying to connect with the student in order to get the best.

As italian native I can support people who need help to improve their skills in reading&use of italian, listening, speaking and writing.

I am able to give students a core knowledge on areas i am best at :Math and Physics. I am a bachelors of engineering student at politecnico di torino in turin. You can expect the students to be equipped with with a range of contents starting from Newtonian mechanics upto Modern physics. And also for Math, from Algebra up to Calculus. They will be equipped with the necessary skill that help them become real life problem solver. My course will be held in totally English which will also give students to practice their english language skill while learning science.

No matter what you are planning on studying, you will come across maths and chemistry well into your studies. It is everywhere from engineering studies to computer sciences to even psychological studies. As both these lessons in many programmes are mandatory, passing them one way or another is a necessity. In our classes we will go-over each necessary topic and have monthly comprehension tests to determine if these topics were truly understood. Also mcq sessions or general question answer sessions can be done. For my qualifications: Though I am a younger teacher I have teaching experience in my home country Turkey. My Chemistry note is 28/30 and Math note is 27/30 in PoliTO.
With all that being said, I hope the description has answered any questions you had however in case there are any remaining you can contact me
Can't wait to get to studying with you :)

I offer private tutoring in Mathematics and Physics-Chemistry for high school students, as well as general academic support for middle school students (homework help, study methods, etc.). Only in French, Spanish or English. I am available for in-person lessons in Turin or online classes.

I adapt to each student’s needs and pace. In general, a lesson is structured in three stages:
1) Review of key concepts to ensure full understanding,
2) Application exercises to consolidate knowledge,
3) Further exploration if the student’s level and goals allow it.

I have several years of tutoring experience. For the past three years, I have been teaching middle school, high school, and preparatory class students in Paris.

Languages spoken:
French (native),
Spanish / Catalan (bilingual),
English (B2/C1).
