IB Economics
SLIB Economics SL tuition: micro, macro and global economics, diagrams, data-response, essay writing, evaluation and IA commentary guidance.
Overview
IB Diploma Economics is built around four units: introduction to economics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the global economy. Standard Level (SL) students study the core content of each unit and learn to explain it with diagrams, apply it to real-world examples and evaluate economic policies.
Nine key concepts run through the course: scarcity, choice, efficiency, equity, economic well-being, sustainability, change, interdependence and intervention. Using them well lifts both exam answers and IA commentaries.
Classes are led by Paul William, founder of TutorPOD. Lessons break complex ideas into simpler, manageable steps, then practise them in the exact format of each paper. You get comprehensive notes, revision packages before exams, timed paper practice with personalised feedback, and IA mentoring for your commentaries.
One TutorPOD student went from averaging a grade 4 to scoring a 7 at the IB exams within five months. Classes run live online and in person in Singapore, in small groups or 1-to-1.

FAQ
SL is assessed by two exam papers and an internal assessment. Paper 1 (extended response) is worth 30%, Paper 2 (data response) 40%, and the internal assessment portfolio 30%.
The internal assessment portfolio is worth 30% of the SL grade, more than at HL, so a strong set of three commentaries makes a big difference.
SL covers the same four units but without the HL-only content and Paper 3. The exam skills for Papers 1 and 2 are the same, so SL still needs precise diagrams and strong evaluation.
