Private tutoring in HGGSP

The history, geography, geopolitics and political science speciality (HGGSP, a subject chosen in depth at lycée) draws on several disciplines at once, and its exams require combining them in a single paper. The difficulty is not only the amount of knowledge: it is putting that knowledge at the service of a central question, in the essay as in the critical document analysis, with precise and current examples.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in HGGSP?

Topics covered

  • The speciality essay
  • Critical document analysis
  • International powers
  • Borders
  • War and peace
  • History and memory

What you work on in sessions

  • Combine history, geography and political science within one paragraph
  • Critique a document: the author's viewpoint, its limits, what it brings to the topic
  • Choose precise case studies and use them to good effect
  • Complete a speciality essay within the exam time, introduction included

Combining disciplines

A single topic calls on history, geography and political science. Moving from one to another without losing the thread of the argument is the central expectation of the speciality.

A heavy reading load

The themes rely on precise, current examples. Sorting what to retain, and in what form, saves a considerable amount of time over the year.

A demanding bac exam

The speciality weighs heavily in the final mark of the bac (the end-of-lycée exam), and its written paper is long. Practising in real conditions, then correcting together, changes how time is managed on the day.

What NOEO brings

What you get on top of the tutoring session

Tutors vetted before they go live

NOEO reviews each tutor’s application before their profile appears. The tutor then declares the subjects and levels they teach, and never appears under any they have not declared.

Live tutoring, on Noeo Live

Sessions take place online, with the whiteboard, documents and conversation in one place. No travelling, and your choice of tutor no longer depends on distance.

A session report after every session

The tutor writes a session report at the end of every session, readable by the student and their parents. Their payout stays on hold until that report has been sent.

The replay and documents, after the session

The session recording and the documents used stay available in the student’s space: a concept that was not quite understood can be revisited without waiting for the next session.

Revision material between sessions

From a session and its report, the student generates their revision sheet, flashcards and quiz in Noeo Learn, then revises at their own pace.

A parent space that follows everything

Parents see their child’s sessions, session reports and messages, and decide for themselves how much independence to give them.

Private tutoring

Private tutoring in Terminale: when to start and how to organise the year

In Terminale (the final year of lycée), private tutoring is effective when it targets a specific difficulty (a specialism, Philosophy, the Grand oral). Start in September for a gap identified in Première, or after the first assessments if the level is uncertain. One session a week is often enough for a targeted need, avoiding overloading an already busy timetable.

Methods and revision

Active recall: the revision method that makes the brain retrieve information

Active recall means retrieving information from memory, without looking at your notes, and then checking your answers. It is a more effective method than simple rereading for long-term memorisation. To use it well, you need to space out recall sessions and use your mistakes to target the gaps.

Private tutoring

How many hours of private tutoring a week does a student need?

How often to have private tutoring depends on the goals: 1 weekly session is enough for regular follow-up or a targeted difficulty, while 2 or more sessions may be needed to catch up on a significant gap or prepare for an approaching deadline. Effectiveness rests on regularity, targeting and the student’s own work between sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tutoring in HGGSP

Which years is the HGGSP speciality for?

It is taken in Première and Terminale (the last two years of lycée). Tutors who declare it have lycée among their levels, and their profile shows it.

How is it different from core history and geography?

Mainly in the exams: the speciality is assessed at the bac through an essay and a critical document analysis, with a much higher weighting than the core subject.

Can you prepare the Grand oral with the tutor?

That is to be agreed with them: a Grand oral (the bac's final oral exam) question based on the speciality prepares well in session, for both content and delivery.

Do you need to follow the news to do well in HGGSP?

Yes, but to feed the themes of the curriculum, not to replace them. The tutor helps choose a few recent examples and link them to the expected notions.

What if you drop the speciality in Terminale?

What was learnt in Première remains useful, in core history and geography as for higher education. The tutor can redirect the work towards what will be assessed.
