IB Business
HLIB Business Management HL tuition: all units, business-management tools, Paper 1–3 case-study practice, quantitative skills, IA guidance and exam technique.
Overview
IB Diploma Business Management is organised into five units: introduction to business management, human resource management, finance and accounts, marketing, and operations management. Higher Level (HL) students study extra content in several units and sit an additional paper.
A business management toolkit runs through the course, with tools such as SWOT and STEEPLE analysis, Ansoff matrix, decision trees, force field analysis and break-even analysis. Four concepts, change, creativity, ethics and sustainability, link the units together.
Classes are led by Paul William, founder of TutorPOD. Lessons use case-based learning, so every topic is practised on a realistic business, and quantitative topics are worked through step by step. You get structured notes, revision packages before exams, timed paper practice with personalised feedback, and mentoring for the Business Research Project and Extended Essay.
Classes run live online and in person in Singapore, in small groups or 1-to-1.
