16 Aug Here is how online tutoring can help you with ESS
Online IB Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS) tutoring can help you work through difficult topics, practise exam skills and plan your next steps. Lessons with Marija Maletz are adapted to your level, questions and current schoolwork. Marija is an ESS teacher and examiner with 13 years of teaching experience.
How can an ESS tutor help?
Individual support can focus on the part of ESS you find most challenging. Depending on your goals, a lesson may include:
- clarifying ESS concepts and applying them to real environmental examples;
- practising command terms and structuring answers for Paper 1 or Paper 2;
- interpreting figures, data and case studies;
- planning revision around upcoming assessments; or
- discussing your own ESS Internal Assessment (IA) investigation.
Support is available for both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL). You can bring one specific question or topic, or discuss a broader study goal.
Guidance for your ESS IA
If you are unsure how to begin your IA, tutoring can help you think through a focused research question, a feasible method, data presentation and the interpretation of your results. You make the research decisions and write the investigation yourself; tutoring is guidance to help you understand your options and improve your own work.
For a session, bring your current idea, plan or data and explain where you are stuck. You can also read about ESS IA tutoring and research-question guidance.
What happens in an online lesson?
- Choose a focus: tell Marija your SL or HL level, the topic or skill you want to work on, and any relevant deadline.
- Work through it together: discuss the concept or task, practise applying it, and ask questions as they arise.
- Agree on next steps: review what is clearer and identify what you can practise independently.
The lesson is shaped around your learning needs. It does not guarantee a particular grade or assessment result.
Start with a free 20-minute trial
The free online trial is a short introduction to discuss your needs, ask questions and decide whether individual ESS tutoring could be a suitable fit. It is not a full lesson or a detailed assessment of written work.
To arrange a trial, send Marija an enquiry with your time zone, availability and the ESS topic or skill you would like to discuss. You can also see details of online IB ESS tutoring for SL and HL.
