History and Geography

Private tutoring in history and geography

In history and geography, knowing the course is not enough: the essay calls for a plan that answers the question asked, document analysis for critical comparison, and the sketch map for a structured key. These are codified exercises, assessed at the Brevet (end-of-collège exam) as at the bac (end-of-lycée exam), and they are practised one by one. A tutor also helps fix the reference points (dates, places, actors) without which no argument holds.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in history and geography?

Topics covered

The essay
Document analysis
Sketch maps and diagrams
Chronological reference points
EMC (moral and civic education)

What you work on in sessions

Turn the wording of a topic into a central question and a plan
Present a document: nature, author, date, context, significance
Build a sketch map key that is organised, ranked and readable
Place an event or a territory with precise, verifiable reference points

Reciting instead of answering

An essay that runs through the chapter without addressing the question asked loses most of its marks. Building the plan from the topic is learnt on real papers.

The sketch map, often neglected

A structured key, a ranking of information, suitable symbols: it is an exercise in its own right, rarely revisited at school for lack of time.

Reference points that fade

Dates and locations are forgotten from one chapter to the next. Regular memorisation between sessions avoids relearning everything the night before a test.

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

How do you measure a student’s progress in private tutoring?

A student’s progress is not measured by their marks alone. You need to track over time their understanding, their independence, their recurring errors, their consistency and their ability to succeed at comparable tasks with less and less help.

Student revising with active recall, using question cards, an exercise book and open textbooks on their desk.

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.

Methods and revision

Flashcards: how to create and use them without wasting time

A flashcard is useful when it asks a precise question, when the student looks for the answer before checking it and when the cards are reviewed at spaced intervals. Stick to one idea per card and vary the types: definitions, distinctions, examples and common mistakes. For complex skills, flashcards remain a complement to practice, not a substitute for it.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tutoring in history and geography

Do the sessions include EMC?

On NOEO, moral and civic education (EMC) is grouped with history and geography: look for a history and geography tutor. Tell the tutor if you need it.

And the HGGSP speciality?

It is a separate subject on NOEO, with its own exams: a tutor declares it separately, and their profile shows it.

How do you revise history and geography for the Brevet?

With complete papers, under timed conditions: questions on documents, a structured written answer and reference points. The tutor corrects each paper and targets what loses marks.

How do you draw a sketch map online?

The base map is shared on the Noeo Live whiteboard and completed together, symbols and key included; the student can then redo it alone from the saved documents.

My child mixes up the periods: where should we start?

With a timeline: a few major landmarks firmly fixed, onto which the chapters are then hung. Chronology is built better in stages than all at once.
