IB Economics Private and Online Tutoring
Why is IB Economics so difficult?
IB Economics is a challenge because of demanding theoretical concepts, grueling responses to data analysis questions, and the requirement for concise, well-structured essay writing. Our IB Economics tutors are focused on breaking down economic concepts and teaching exam skills to help boost our students’ points.
For HL Economics students, there is also the additional challenge of Paper 3, which involves further mathematical calculation and conceptual understanding. Candidates find the complex content of IB Economics difficult to adapt to and keep up with, as the assessment components and criteria are much closer to university material than they are to Economics studied in MYP, IGCSE, and other early secondary school programmes.
Our IB Economics tutors will create a customised lesson plan based on the students’ weaknesses and will help simplify the complex concepts taught throughout the course so that they can build a solid conceptual understanding in Economics.
Candidates usually take IB Economics as it is a prerequisite course for undergraduate degrees like PPE or Economics and because it provides a useful foundation for degrees such as Politics and Business. Students will find that, especially if a 7 in IB Economics is required for university admission, it is invaluable to have support from an IB Economics tutor throughout the course. It is perfectly reasonable to want the best IB Economics tutor for the best chances of earning top marks in the IB Economics exams and assessments.

A 7 in an IB subject, including Economics, is awarded to those who excel in both exams and in their Internal Assessments. If a student is looking to secure a 7 in Economics, working diligently throughout the IBDP is essential.
Is Economics a good degree for IB?
It’s important to recognise that Economics is one course taken as part of the IBDP. Colleges and universities value Economics at both Standard and Higher Level because it showcases the rigor and discipline required to succeed in university-level education. If a student is ambitious and enjoys thinking about Economics, then they should consider this fascinating course.
Is IB Economics or Psychology harder?
As the IB is known for its rigor, there are no real ‘easy’ options when it comes to subject selection. IB Economics and Psychology are recognised as equally challenging courses. However, if a student enjoys essay writing, they may consider Psychology a more appealing option. Likewise, if they enjoy calculations, then Economics may suit them better.
