IB HL and SL Economics Revision- Crash Course Exam Prep or Steady Revision throughout the IB course

From 46 £ /h

I taught IB Economics in international schools for many years. I am now tutoring IB students, both in "crash studying before the May exam," and in more steady weekly sessions throughout the two year course. I understand the markschemes, and have a lot of tips and tricks to share that will get you easy marks. Revision is best done through real world examples and diagram review. Econ can be fun and engaging, and I will do my best to make our tutor sessions feel like a study group with friends.

Extra information

You should have some paper and a pen, or a tablet, to practice diagramming.

About Me

- I am a Chicago native, living in the Netherlands. I miss deep dish pizza, but love Dutch cheese.

- I was an IB teacher for 10+ years, and have worked with students who face many different challenges, including ELL, ADHD, math-phobia, and high anxiety. I have a lot of tried and true strategies to help every type of learner find success.

- The best part of about IB Econ is "It Depends." In our sessions, we will discuss how there are many right answers to a question, and practice evaluating policies to create a strong argument.

- Real world examples should be relevant to a student's life. We can investigate the shifts in non-price determinant of demand of your favorite sports team, or examine fiscal policies around university education in your country. The RWEs should be applicable and interesting, and can be helpful with your Paper 1 part B and Paper 3 policy recommendations.

I specialized in tutoring Microeconomics and Macroeconomics for students in IB and AP programs. I have students from various high schools in Turkey and besides that I also teach AP Microeconomics&Macroeconomics at a high school in Istanbul. I have a PhD in economics from Georgetown University and I have worked as an Associate Professor of Economics and Finance in various universities in Turkey.
With 10 years of experience as a Professor of Economics I do not let the students memorize the concepts. Instead I ensure that they get the logic and they are able to apply theoretical concepts to real life issues.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics

...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

I am a professional professor of economics in Poland since 2005. I teach Economics HL and SL in the IB program in one of the best schools in Warsaw since 2013. I can explain your doubts and help you with the Internal Assessments. I don't speak Spanish, I only speak English.
I graduated from Szkoła Główna Handlowa w Warszawie (Warsaw School of Economics) and have completed all the necessary trainings for the previous and current syllabus.
All the classes are based on what you need to know for your final IB exam, but I explain it in an unconventional way so that you understand better. I adjust the methodology to each my student. I have a lot of experience teaching groups and individuals. All my students always get good grades on Internal Assessments and final exams.

Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.

I offer accounting courses for secondary school students, particularly in vocational training, as well as for first-year bachelor's students at university or college.

The objective is to help the pupil or student understand accounting logic, master important entries and know how to solve exercises in a structured way, whether for a quiz, an exam, a qualification or a refresher course.

I primarily support pupils and students who wish to review the basics, better understand accounting mechanisms and practice on typical exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Basics of accounting:
debit/credit, asset and liability accounts, expenses and revenues, chart of accounts, account logic, supporting documents and reading statements.

• Journal and accounting entries:
recording of current operations, purchases, sales, payments, receipts, VAT, customer and supplier accounts, entries with or without discount.

• VAT and commercial transactions:
VAT to be recovered, VAT to be paid, purchase invoices, sales invoices, credit notes, trade discounts, rebates, incidental expenses and calculations related to commercial transactions.

• Depreciation:
straight-line depreciation, declining balance depreciation, depreciation schedules, depreciation charges, net book value and year-end entries.

• Provisions and adjustments:
provisions, deferred charges, accrued income, charges to be allocated, deferred income, inventory entries and year-end adjustments.

• Balance sheet and income statement:
construction of the balance sheet, assets/liabilities, equity, debts, expenses, revenues, profit or loss for the year, link between the income statement and the balance sheet.

• Basic financial analysis:
working capital, working capital requirement (WCR), net cash, simple ratios, reading and interpretation of financial statements.

• Cash flow:
operating cash flow, investment cash flow, financing cash flow, distinction between accounting profit and cash flow.

• Exam/qualification preparation:
Typical exercises, past quizzes, exams, case studies, problem-solving methods, guided correction and identification of common errors.

I can also help with economics depending on the level and program, particularly in microeconomics and macroeconomics: supply and demand, elasticities, costs, competition, market, growth, inflation, economic policy and basic models.

Method of working :

1. We identify the chapters that pose a problem;
2. I will re-explain the accounting logic with simple examples;
3. We redo the exercises step by step;
4. I show how to recognize the type of writing or calculation required;
5. We construct a clear method so that the student can do it on their own.

I do not limit myself to giving a correction: I explain the reasoning behind each writing and each calculation so that the subject becomes more logical and less mechanical.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I also have a degree from Solvay/ULB and professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte, which allows me to explain accounting with an approach that is academic, university-level, and practical.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

I provide individual tutoring in Accounting, Finance, Economics and related quantitative business subjects for students at school, vocational, Fachhochschule and university level.

My academic background is in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences. This combines business, economics, mathematics, statistics, finance, data and analytical problem-solving.

I have several years of teaching experience and have supported students preparing for school examinations, vocational qualifications, Fachhochschule modules and university exams.

Accounting topics can include:

- Financial Accounting
- Bookkeeping
- Debit and credit
- Journal entries
- Balance sheet
- Income statement
- Opening and closing entries
- Accruals
- Depreciation
- Inventory
- VAT
- Swiss accounting exercises
- Cost Accounting
- Management Accounting
- BAB
- Cost allocation
- Contribution Margin
- Break-even analysis
- Cash Flow Statement
- Financial ratios

Finance topics can include:

- Simple interest
- Compound interest
- Present value
- Future value
- Annuities
- Financial Mathematics
- Investment calculations
- NPV
- Investment appraisal
- Bonds
- Shares
- Risk and return

Economics topics can include:

- Microeconomics

- Elasticity
- Market equilibrium
- Consumer theory
- Producer theory
- Costs
- Revenue
- Profit

- Business Economics
- Quantitative Economics

Related quantitative subjects can include:

- Business Statistics
- Probability
- Quantitative Methods
- Regression
- Data interpretation
- Financial calculations
- Applied Mathematics for business students

My teaching approach is based on understanding the logic behind each calculation.

For quantitative questions, we normally use a clear structure:

- What is given?
- What needs to be found?
- Which formula or accounting principle applies?
- Why does it apply?
- How is the result calculated?
- What does the final number actually mean?

This is particularly useful in Accounting and Finance.

Students sometimes learn one example mechanically and then become confused when the wording or numbers change in an examination. I therefore use different question styles so that students learn to recognise the underlying principle.

Lessons can be used for:

- Regular semester support
- Homework and exercises
- Closing knowledge gaps
- Exam preparation
- Intensive revision
- FH examinations
- University examinations
- Repeating previously failed modules
- Improving calculation speed and accuracy

I explain concepts in a structured and practical way and adapt the level of detail to the individual student.

The aim is to make Accounting, Finance and Economics feel logical, organised and manageable rather than like complicated collections of formulas and rules.

As a high school Economics and Management teacher and former lawyer, I currently teach law and economics in the final year of STMG (Science and Technology of Management and Business).
I offer private lessons to high school and university students who wish to better understand these subjects, consolidate their knowledge, acquire an effective work method or prepare for an exam.
In law, we work on understanding legal concepts and vocabulary, classifying facts, formulating legal issues, identifying applicable rules, and constructing rigorous legal reasoning. Depending on the level, support may also include practical cases and methodological exercises for higher education students.
In economics, I prioritize understanding mechanisms rather than mechanical learning: mastering concepts, analyzing documents and data, mobilizing knowledge and constructing a reasoned response.
The sessions are tailored to each student's needs: reviewing a poorly understood chapter, reinforcing fundamental concepts, methodology, targeted exercises, and preparing for an assignment or exam. I can also provide summary materials when necessary.
Particular attention is paid to the quality of reasoning, the precision of vocabulary, and written expression.
My goal: to enable the student to understand, reason methodically and gradually become autonomous.

Hi! I am Hiro from Japan and a master's student at the University of Tartu in Estonia.

As a native Japanese speaker, I offer Japanese courses from beginner to advanced levels. I can teach you exactly what you need regarding Japanese—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and also accommodate requests if you want to learn about Japan, such as its culture, economy, and other topics, in Japanese or English.

Currently living in Tartu, I am happy to offer on-site lessons. While I cannot travel everywhere, I would be flexible with time and location. Feel free to reach out to discuss the location!

I offer economics courses via videoconference, mainly in microeconomics and macroeconomics, for high school and university students.
The sessions are tailored to each student's level, program, and objectives. We can revisit a poorly understood chapter, review essential course concepts, work through exercises and tutorials, or prepare for an exam using past papers.
I prioritize first understanding the economic mechanisms and the reasoning behind the models. Once the intuition is grasped, we move on to formalization, equations, and exercises. The goal is to understand the course material well enough to then be able to apply the concepts independently.
For higher education students, I can work directly from your course materials, tutorials and past papers in order to stay as close as possible to the methods and expectations of your course.
I can also support students on concepts of econometrics, mathematics applied to economics and finance.
I am currently a doctoral student in the economics program at ESSEC, in partnership with CY Cergy Paris University. I hold a Master's degree in Banking, Finance, and Insurance from Paris-Dauphine University, specializing in financial markets, and I also studied at Bocconi University in Milan. I have been tutoring for several years.

Each lesson is built around your goal: exam prep, a university course, or admission to a Master's program. Lessons include a short theory recap, guided problem solving, and homework with feedback. The first 30 minutes to assess your level and agree on a plan.

I can explain things in English (C1) or Russian (native)

I'm a First-Class Economics graduate from UCL, a former top IB student (44/45), and an MPhil Economics graduate from the University of Cambridge. I tutor Maths and Economics online, from primary level right up to GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A-Level, as well as university students who need support with micro, macro or econometrics.

Lessons are tailored to each student's learning style, curriculum and exam board. I explain the theory clearly, step by step, with worked examples and real-world applications, then focus on exam technique: structured answers, evaluation, data-response questions and hitting the mark scheme. I set targeted practice between sessions and give detailed feedback, so students build real understanding and confidence rather than just memorising methods.

I also help students with undergraduate and Master's university applications, including UCAS, Oxbridge and personal statements.

Whether your child is aiming for top grades or needs extra support to catch up, I create a calm, encouraging space where they can ask questions and really master the material.
