Private tutoring in economic and social sciences (SES) for Seconde (first year of lycée)

In Seconde (the first year of lycée), SES is a discovery: how prices are formed, how firms produce, how one becomes an individual in society, how political opinions take shape. The challenge is twofold: mastering the first notions and tools (percentages, rates of change, reading tables) and deciding whether the speciality suits you for Première.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in economic and social sciences (SES) for Seconde (first year of lycée)?

Topics covered

  • Markets and price formation
  • Production and the firm
  • Socialisation
  • Public opinion
  • Statistical tools

What you work on in sessions

  • Read a statistical table and calculate a proportion
  • Define a social science notion precisely
  • Illustrate a mechanism with a concrete example

New numerical tools

Proportions, rates of change, indices: SES requires simple but rigorous calculations, which many students meet for the first time.

Precise vocabulary

Each notion has an exact definition. Confusing them (price and value, socialisation and education) skews the answers.

Choosing the speciality

The SES speciality calls for an interest in current affairs, reading and argument. Better to check that before committing.

School success and study choices

Private SES tutoring at lycée: a method for succeeding in analyses and exams

Private tutoring in SES (Economic and Social Sciences) at lycée (upper secondary school) is above all useful when it teaches the student to connect three skills: mastering the curriculum’s concepts, using documents precisely and building a reasoned argument. In Première as in Terminale (the second and final years of lycée), knowing your lessons is therefore not enough. You need to be able to explain an economic or social mechanism, interpret a figure, select a relevant example and organise an answer suited to the instruction. Good SES support should identify the link in the chain that is really blocking the student, then train them on specific tasks rather than simply going over the lesson again.

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.

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.
