This course is designed for group tutoring following the AP Human Geography Curriculum and other various human geography topics. Students will read through various geography textbooks and answer questions on provided reading guides. This will enable the learner to come ready to discuss the weekly curriculum. Throughout the weeks, students will engage in hands-on activities with legos, graphing, mathematical calculations, and even virtual field trips that coincide with the curriculum. As this course is designed to focus on individual needs in the curriculum, student questions will guide each session on the designated topics. Below is a description of the weekly topics and accompanying activities.

Week 1: Introduction to Geography, Disease Investigation
Week 2: Where do people live? Population, Demographic Transition Model discussion and graphing activity
Week 3: Migration's patterns and processes throughout the world
Week 4: Folk and Popular Culture and the influence of taboos
Week 5: Language, How does a language show nationalism? The Crown discussion
Week 6: 5 Main religions distribution and influence on the globe

Week 10: Development throughout the World
Week 11: Industry, Weber's Industrial Location Activity
Week 12: Services, Central Place Theory Process
Week 13: Urbanization, Where in the world? City Landscapes categorized by urban models

Each week will have readings to aid the student throughout the weekly hot topic sessions. The basis of discussion will come from the questions, charts, maps found in the reading provided by the teacher. This course is best suited for students already in enrolled in Advanced Placement Human Geography, but does not require the learner to be enrolled in a high school.

This course is only offered in the Fall semester. I have exam prep reviews in the Spring semester.

As an Advanced Placement Human Geography Reader for 10 years years and teacher of the course for 10 years , I have a unique insight on how to best prepare the students to better answer the prompts given.  My classroom students routinely perform in the top 25% percentile of all exam takers from year to year on their free response questions and average between 20-30% higher than national average pass rates with 9th grade students.   I have adapted different techniques to teach writing to be more effective, clear, and provide more depth to student responses.
