IB Economics
IB Economics, SL and HL
Tutoring across the IB Economics syllabus with a focus on internal assessment, real-world commentary and the demands of HL Paper 3.
IB Economics differs from A-level in important ways. The syllabus is structured around real-world issues rather than discrete units, internal assessment carries significant weight, and HL students sit a quantitative Paper 3 that catches A-level-trained tutors out.
I tutor IB Economics SL and HL with a focus on:
- Internal assessment commentary structure and the markband descriptors
- Paper 1 essays at SL and HL
- Paper 2 data response questions
- HL Paper 3 quantitative methods
- Diagram precision and the IB's specific labelling conventions
Most IB Economics students I tutor work weekly for the duration of the IB, with intensive blocks before mocks and final exams in May.
FAQ
Common questions
-
How long is a typical session?
Online sessions are 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Home visits are 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Most A-level students find 60 minutes a week plus extra around mocks and exams works well.
-
Where does tutoring take place?
Either at the student's home for in-person sessions across south west London, central London and Surrey, or online via video call for students anywhere in the UK and overseas.
-
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule a session without charge. Less than 24 hours' notice is charged at the full session rate. I am flexible around illness and emergencies.
-
Do I need to commit to weekly sessions?
No. Many students book weekly through the year. Others book intensive blocks before mocks or final exams. I tailor frequency to the student's timeline and goals.
-
What areas do you cover for home visits?
South west London, central London and parts of Surrey. The areas covered page lists every town in detail. For students further afield, I tutor online.
