Online IB Economics Tutor: Master the Path to a Level 7
Bridge the gap between economic theory and examiner-level evaluation. Expert 1-on-1 guidance for IBDP (HL/SL) and MYP students globally.
Thousands of happy students — and counting
If you are aiming for a Level 7 in IB Economics, you already know that "knowing the theory" isn't enough. The International Baccalaureate doesn't just test your memory; it tests your ability to Evaluate (AO3) and Synthesize (AO4). At Educifly, we bridge the gap between textbook definitions and examiner-ready analysis. We provide premium 1-on-1 tutoring that focuses on the two things that actually move the needle: Real-World Examples (RWEs) and Nuanced Evaluation.

Why Most IB Economics Students Struggle (And How We Fix It)
The International Baccalaureate doesn’t just test what you know; it tests how you Evaluate (AO3) and Synthesize (AO4). Most tutoring fails because it focuses on rote memorization of AD/AS curves.
At Educifly, we focus on the three pillars that define a Level 7 student:
1. The CLASPP Evaluation Framework
Evaluation is 25-35% of your final grade. We teach you to dismantle every 15-mark essay using our proprietary framework:
Conclusion: Evidence-based, nuanced judgment.
Limitations: Identifying where economic models fail in the real world.
Assumptions: Challenging Ceteris Paribus and rational behavior.
Stakeholders: Impact analysis on Consumers, Producers, and Government.
Priorities: Short-run trade-offs vs. Long-run structural gains.
Pros/Cons: Balanced weightage of economic policy.
2. The "Live" Real-World Example (RWE) Bank
You cannot reach the top mark band in Paper 1 Part (b) without specific, contemporary examples. Our tutors provide a curated, weekly-updated bank of RWEs—from Google’s Antitrust cases to Singapore’s Carbon Tax—ensuring your essays stand out to examiners.
3. Quantitative Precision for Paper 3
For HL students, Paper 3 is often a "math panic" zone. We transform you into a "Government Advisor," teaching you to handle Gini Coefficients, Multipliers, and Tax Incidence with the speed and accuracy required for the policy recommendation section.
