Common Challenges With AP Environmental Science

  • Interdisciplinary Nature:

    APES combines concepts from biology, chemistry, geology, and more. We clarify these topics using relevant analogies and real-life examples, making it easier to connect diverse concepts.

  • Understanding Data and Graphs

    Students often struggle to interpret data or read graphs, a key skill in APES. We provide numerous exercises to help them become comfortable with interpreting and analyzing scientific data.

  • Environmental Legislation

    The historical and legal aspects of environmental science can be tough to memorize. We utilize interactive timelines, flashcards, and engaging storytelling techniques to facilitate retention.

  • Problem Solving and Math Skills

    APES involves some mathematical calculations. We help students master these skills through problem-solving sessions, integrating math in context with environmental science.

  • Relating Local Issues to Global Ones

    Environmental science involves understanding global patterns and trends. We help students relate local environmental issues to global ones, giving them a broader perspective.

  • Sustainability and Resource Management

    These can be complex topics to understand. We use case studies and scenario-based learning to provide a deeper understanding of how sustainability is applied in real-world contexts.

Ways We Tutor AP Environmental Science

  • Case Studies

    We incorporate a wide range of local and global environmental case studies to illustrate concepts, such as the impacts of climate change or the consequences of deforestation.

  • Simulations

    We use digital simulations to demonstrate ecological phenomena or illustrate the impacts of human activities, such as simulations showing the consequences of overfishing or habitat fragmentation.

  • Field Observations

    If possible, we encourage local field observations. Seeing real-world examples of concepts like biomes, succession, or biodiversity can greatly enhance understanding.

  • Data Analysis

    We incorporate exercises in interpreting environmental data, such as understanding population growth charts or analyzing climate data. This reinforces quantitative skills while deepening the understanding of environmental trends.

  • Scientific Research

    We guide students in exploring current environmental research, encouraging them to read and interpret scientific papers. This highlights the practical application of the concepts they're learning.

  • Environmental Impact Assessments

    We introduce students to the process of environmental impact assessment, a crucial tool in environmental planning and decision making.
