IB Geography Tutor12+ years' teaching
I’m Guido Crespo Segura, an IB Global Politics and Geography teacher with over 12 years of experience helping students make sense of the complexities of our world. I hold a degree in Geography Teaching and a master’s in Educational Technology. Originally from Argentina, I’m currently based in Germany. I’ve taught both IB and national curriculums, supporting students in developing strong analytical and critical thinking skills, particularly when tackling case studies or essay-based subjects. My background in instructional design and educational technology helps me make complex political and geographical ideas accessible, engaging, and memorable. My tutoring style combines patience, kindness, structure, and curiosity. I guide students to unpack challenging theories step by step, connect them to real-world examples, and build confidence through clear strategies for both short-answer and essay questions. I see my role not just as a tutor, but as an educator who helps students widening their knowledge and express their ideas with clarity. Beyond teaching, I’m passionate about global issues, communication, and lifelong learning. I love cooking, doing sports, and I’m fluent in English and Spanish while currently learning (or at least trying) German. There is always time for good coffee with a pastry, ideally a pudding bretzel or something with dulce de leche.

If you need support with your EE or IA, I can help you understand and love the process and not just the outcome.

I'm Sophie, I graduated with 40 IB points in 2014. After studying at 5 universities across 3 countries (starting with Leiden University) in the Netherlands, I became a Geography and Environmental Systems and Societies teacher at a Dutch international school. I started my career as a schoolteacher in 2017, and more recently have also become a Careers Counsellor for IB students. I have tutored hundreds of students since then, mostly in maths and sciences but also in languages and of course my own exam subjects. I am great at integrating exam practice into my lessons so students can smash their exams. When I'm not tutoring, I like acting, dancing and baking.

IB Geography meets the group 3 requirement for university entrance in both Germany and Switzerland. The KMK's IB agreement names it among the social sciences a recognised diploma must include; our home page sets out the other conditions.
For Swiss universities, swissuniversities asks for six subjects from six categories; its humanities category accepts Geography, History or Economics/Business Management, so Geography keeps that door open where Psychology would not.
Geography HL averaged 5.3 worldwide in May 2025, higher than History, Psychology, Business Management or Economics at HL, and 13.1% of HL candidates gained a 7. Across both levels, 41.6% of the 9,746 candidates reached a 6 or 7.
So in Geography a 5 is below the typical result. The usual route upward is sharper place-specific detail, answers that do exactly what the command term asks, and a fieldwork report that misses no criterion.
IB Geography covers both physical and human geography, and its grade is built from four parts.
Because the investigation rests on data you gather, its question is usually set somewhere you can reach easily, near home or school, and within your school's rules for fieldwork. Most of our 30 Geography IA ideas work wherever you live.
With an extra theme and the Paper 3 essays, HL depends more on extended writing, while at SL the core paper and the fieldwork carry a larger share. In May 2025 the HL mean was 0.4 above the SL mean.
Geography shares climate, water and population themes with IB ESS; ask your school whether the two fit together in your timetable.
“She was so good at evoking true interest in the subject. She was patient, explained every aspect, and then helped the student become independent in his learning. My son went from panic at the thought of another maths test, to challenging his peers to throw him difficult problems to solve.”
“So so great. I went from being extremely unsure in my Math IA to be proud of what I did. This exceeded my expectations!!! Love it love it love it. Thank you Aaryan!!”
“I contacted Lanterna in my daughter's final year of the IB programme and I only wish I had contacted them sooner! From the start, they took care to identify my daughter's needs and to match her with the most appropriate Tutor. Our experience with her tutor was overwhelmingly positive. His level of dedication went above and beyond the call of duty. Lessons were well prepared and constructive feedback was consistently given.”
Good Geography answers rest on detailed case studies. Our five essentials for studying Geography show how to organise them.

Online lessons work for fieldwork because the tutor works with your question and your data, not the site, so a river near Hamburg or a high street in Munich suits equally well. The collecting, analysis and writing are yours under IB rules, and only your teacher comments on a draft (see our IA guidance); within that, lessons cover narrowing the question and choosing how to sample.
Your tutor's focus is your Geography grade, but in the consultation we can look at your whole subject choice with you. Geography is useful here because it is accepted as the social science in Germany and as the humanities subject in Switzerland; check each university's own rules as well.
From €63 an hour for private online lessons, with lower hourly prices on bigger packages. Across every subject, Lanterna students gain 1.5+ grades on average; treat that as a typical outcome rather than a promise, since starting early makes a real difference.
Your tutor finds out where your marks go: case-study detail, command terms, data questions or essay structure. Bringing a recent test or a marked essay helps. By the end you should have a plan for the next few weeks, and later lessons follow it at times that suit you on Central European Time.
