IB & A-Level Economics Tutors in Hong Kong
Diagrams drawn correctly, evaluation that actually evaluates, and IA commentaries built around real articles.
Economics rewards two skills that are barely taught in most school programmes: drawing and labelling a diagram to the standard the mark scheme wants, and writing evaluation that weighs something rather than listing advantages and disadvantages. Most students who are stuck at a 5 in IB Economics are losing marks in exactly these two places.
IB Economics SL and HL
- Diagram technique. Axes labelled, curves labelled, shifts shown with direction, the new equilibrium marked. Diagrams carry marks by themselves and are the cheapest marks on the paper.
- Evaluation. The distinction between listing considerations and reaching a supported judgement — worth several bands on extended response questions.
- The nine key concepts, which the current course expects students to use as a framework rather than recite.
- HL quantitative content — calculations that trip up students who chose economics expecting an essay subject.
- The Internal Assessment — three commentaries on real news articles, worth 30% at SL and 20% at HL. Choosing suitable articles is half the battle and where most of the avoidable marks are lost.
A-Level Economics
For students on the Cambridge or Edexcel routes: micro and macro across both years, data response technique, and the essay papers where structure and evaluation decide the grade. We also support students applying to Economics at competitive UK universities, several of which set their own admissions tests.

Frequently asked questions
Do you tutor IB Economics HL?
Yes, SL and HL, including the HL quantitative content and Paper 3. The HL calculations are a common reason students seek tutoring — they are a different kind of demand from the rest of the course.
Can you help with the Economics IA commentaries?
Yes. We help with selecting articles that give enough analytical scope, mapping each commentary to a different section of the syllabus, and structuring the diagram-and-evaluation content. The writing is the student's own.
Is Economics a good choice without a strong maths background?
SL is manageable. HL includes quantitative content that students weak in maths find harder than they expected. If your child is choosing subjects, we are happy to talk it through against their maths course.
