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.
