Geography lessons in secondary school
Maps, statistics, documents to comment on: secondary-school geography is as much about analysis as about learning. It’s no longer a subject of locations — an exam presents a map or a table of figures and asks you to draw something from it.
So we revise the syllabus, because you can’t analyse anything without knowing what you’re talking about, and we practise the exercise as it is set: reading a piece of data, comparing it, being wary of an isolated percentage, spotting a scale. These skills are acquired in a few sessions and come in useful on every document in the syllabus, whatever the chapter.
All lessons – SecondaryWhy geography is as much about analysis as learning
It has kept its reputation as a subject of locations — rivers, capitals, mountain ranges. That is no longer what’s assessed. A geography exam presents a map, a table of figures, a text, and asks for an analysis: read a piece of data, compare it, explain it using what you’ve learned.
So it’s a subject of tools. Knowing how to read a population pyramid, spot a scale, be wary of an isolated percentage — these skills can be passed on in a few sessions and come in useful on every document in the syllabus, whatever the chapter.
The syllabus itself still has to be known: you can’t analyse anything without knowing what you’re talking about. But between a pupil who has learned everything without knowing how to comment and one who can comment with average knowledge, it’s the second who hands in the better paper.

Who you learn with
We take great care in choosing our teachers: each one is interviewed and tested before their first lesson. We look at their degree, of course, but just as much at the way they explain – that is what helps a student progress. Then we look among our teachers for the one whose profile matches your level and your goal.
- Teachers holding at least a bachelor’s degree, recruited after an interview and a test.
- Native speakers for spoken language practice.
- 96% satisfied customers and more than 140,000 hours of lessons taught.
- An organisation approved by the Ministry of National Education: your corporate training qualifies for a tax credit of 20% to 35%.
I have been teaching for Cours at Home since 2010 and have never wanted to leave the company, because of the steady stream of teaching assignments I have received since I joined, and because of how reliable and flexible they are.

I contacted Cours At Home to take Luxembourgish lessons. The lessons are tailored to what we ask for, and scheduling lessons with the teacher is very flexible. I really recommend it, I’m very satisfied.
This language school is great and the staff really listen. Jérôme Koenigsecke, who runs it, is always fully available and will answer all your questions. Liliana (Luxembourgish teacher) is very caring and teaches with exemplary skill.
I am very happy with Cours at Home’s services. I have been using them for a little over three years now, and I can confirm that their service is excellent. Cours at Home always listens to its clients’ needs – needs which, in my case, are rather demanding, since I am usually looking for German-speaking teachers.
I took German and Luxembourgish lessons with Cours at Home and I’m very satisfied. The lessons are well structured and tailored, and the trainers are good teachers. It really helped me progress. I recommend them without hesitation.
The German lessons with Aurore make for real learning, with lots of speaking practice, interactive lessons, good teaching methods and plenty of variety. I recommend her 100%. The lessons are well organised, with flexible options.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us most
Have a question? Call us now
+352 26 30 27 90Can you really work on geography?
Yes, and it’s often the subject with the best ratio of effort to marks gained. It relies on a few transferable skills — reading a map, a graph, a table — which, once acquired, serve in every exam.
My child mixes up geography and social sciences depending on the year. Can you keep up?
Yes. Depending on the section and the school, geography is taught on its own or merged with history and citizenship education. We start from their exercise book and homework, not from a theoretical syllabus.
Do you work on sketch maps and maps to draw?
Yes, when the exam requires them. A sketch map is marked on precise criteria — an organised key, consistent symbols, a title that answers the question — and these are marks rarely lost through not knowing the course.
Do figures have to be learned by heart?
A few orders of magnitude, not tables. What matters is knowing how to place a piece of data: saying whether a figure is high or low, and compared with what. That’s what a commentary expects.
Can we take lessons for just one period, before the exams?
Yes, with no minimum commitment. We then focus on full papers, done under timed conditions and gone over afterwards — that’s what pays off most when the deadline is close.
