IB Economics tutors in London
3 UK tutors who teach Economics at IB in London.
Economics is offered at GCSE (less commonly) and A-level (AQA, Edexcel, OCR), and splits into microeconomics (markets, firms, market failure) and macroeconomics (growth, inflation, unemployment, policy). It's essay-and-data-heavy at A-level: students need to apply theory to current real-world events and write to mark schemes that reward structured argument with diagrams. Tutoring helps most with diagram technique (which is rewarded explicitly), with essay structure under timed conditions, and with the macro paper, which lags news and rewards students who follow the FT or equivalent. For Oxbridge or LSE applicants, look for tutors who go beyond the spec.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
