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

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.
